1 Secondary Reinforcers & Punishers
Lecture 9

2 Reinforcers & Punishers
Primary reinforcers & punishers biologically important stimuli food, water, sexual pleasure, pain & illness Secondary reinforcers & punishers money praise How do they become an SR? Are associated with primary SR ~

3 Secondary SRs How do we know if something is an SR ?
Strengthen or weaken behavior that precedes it? How does it become a secondary SR? Classical conditioning SD or SΔ that reliable predicts SR ~

4 Secondary SRs are Predictive
3 functions As CS or SD/SΔ CS elicits reflexive responses With emotional component (CER) CS as a consequence *CS  CER Modifies operant behavior SD/SΔ sets occasion For SR ~

5 Pavlovian & Operant Conditioning
CS  CR Consistently predicts US SD consistently predicts SR Becomes secondary SR Higher order conditioning CS & SD can act like US & SR ~

6 Operant Conditioning Contingency positive negative SD SΔ Positive RFT
Negative Punishment appetitive Positive Punishment Negative RFT aversive

7 CERs US Contingency positive negative CS+ CS- Positive Affect Negative
Appetitive US Negative Affect Positive Affect Aversive

8 CER / SR US or SR Contingency positive negative CS+ or SD CS- or SΔ
Affect Negative Affect Appetitive US or SR Negative Affect Positive Affect Aversive

9 Conditioning: Pavlovian
Mom picks up Food CS1 UR US : CS-US pairings  Hunger + Positive Affect Positive Affect Mom picks up After learning CS1 CR Strong CS-US association  Strong CR ~

10 Higher Order: Pavlovian
CS2 CS1 CR CS2-CS1 pairings Positive Affect See Mom Mom Picks up : Positive Affect See Mom After learning CS2 CR Strong CS1  Strong CR Can act like a US CS2 becomes associated  CR ~

11 Generalized Secondary SRs
Reinforce or punish wide variety of behaviors Money Token Cultural differences ~

12 Generalized Secondary SRs
Social attention Affiliation isolation Facial expressions Smiles Frowns ~

13 Review: Secondary SRs US & SR Biologically important events
CS+ & CS- similar to SD & SΔ Signals for important events US elicits reflexive response & unconditional emotional response CS+ & CS-  CERs Learned reflexes, automatic ~

14 Review: Secondary SRs Higher order learning
New cues associated with CS Also come to elicit CERs Predictive cues SD & SΔ for SR Also CSs elicit CERs CERs become secondary SR Tokens: e.g. money Social attention ~
