Question
T/F ANSWER:
3) Differential reinforcement of other behavior (DRO) is a type of positive punishment.
4) The competition between natural responses and the responses required by the experimenter sometimes leads to the development of behaviors that interfere with an animal making an instrumental response. When this occurs, we say the animal is exhibiting behaviors associated with instinctive drift.
5) When considering the nature of the instrumental reinforcer in conditioning procedures, the quality of the reinforcer is important, but the quantity is not.
6) In their reinterpretation of Skinner’s Superstitious experiment, Behavioral Systems Theory would say that the recurrence of interim responses is best explained by early components of foraging behavior, whereas, the recurrence of terminal responses is best explained by focal searching or anticipation of food delivery.
Short answer
1. I have two new flavors you’ve never experienced before; fluffle and chizzle. I repeatedly present these flavors to you in a paired fashion. I then pair fluffle with something that makes you sick. What will your conditioned response be to separate presentations of fluffle and chizzle? What type of conditioning has occurred?
2. Two groups of rats were trained to navigate a runway (CR) for food (US). One group earned a single food pellet, the other group earned three pellets. When both groups are shifted to a situation in which they earn the alternative reward (i.e., group one now gets 3 pellets and group 2 now gets 1 pellet, what type of behavioral effect would you expect to observe in each group and why?
Explanation / Answer
3) true. as it involves reinforcing only the appropriate responses andeliminating the others.
4) true- as it is the persons ability to react in the particular situation.
5) false- as the quality and quantity of reinforcement is important.
6) true.
short answers-
1. aversive conditioning has occurred ad i will associate an aversive response towards fluffle as it presents negative reactions. if chizzle is presented along with it then fluffle will also generate4 negative responses but if presented seerately then it will be ok.
2. initially group 1 rrats would be less motiivated as compared to group 2 but by the end if the experiment is expected to be conducted aghain the situation reverses due to the fact that group 2 has reduced reinforcment and grup 1 has increased reinforcement.
