Unit 6 (D): Operant Conditioning: Expanding Skinner’s Understanding Mr. Mc. Cormick A. P. Psychology
Do-Now (Questionnaire/In Journal) Answer the Yes/No questions on Hand-Out 77: “Sensitivity to Punishment and Sensitivity to Reward Questionnaire” n Tally up the Yes responses of odd and even numbers: n n Sensitivity to Punishment: n Odd numbers: Higher scores representing higher sensitivity to punishment n Sensitivity to Reward: n Even numbers: Higher scores representing higher sensitivity to reward
Cognition and Operant Conditioning n Skinner acknowledged the role of one’s cognition on operant conditioning n Cognitive Map: A mental representation of the layout of one’s environment n E. g. after exploring a maze, rats act as if they have learned a cognitive map of it n
Cognition and Operant Conditioning n Latent Learning: n Learning that occurs but is not apparent until there is an incentive to demonstrate it
Video Clip: Cognitive Maps n. How does the rat use latent learning in pursuit of food, after its path has been blocked?
Cognition and Operant Conditioning n. Can you think of an example when you experienced latent learning?
Cognition and Operant Conditioning n Insight: n A sudden and often novel realization of the solution to a problem
Types of Motivation n Intrinsic Motivation: n n A desire to perform a behavior for its own sake Extrinsic Motivation: n A desire to perform a behavior to receive promised rewards or avoid threatened punishment
Types of Motivation n What is something that you are intrinsically motivated to do? n What is something that you are extrinsically motivated to do? n With which type of motivation is operant conditioning more effective?
“Consideration of Future Consequences Scale” Answer the questions on Hand-Out 7 -4: “Consideration of Future Consequences Scale” n Tally up the numbers of your responses: n Reverse the numbers that you gave in statements 3, 4, 5, 9, 10, 11, and 12 (i. e. , 1=5, 2=4, 3=3, 4=2, 5=1) n Next, add the numbers in front of all 12 items n The higher your score, the greater consideration you have for future consequences n
Biology and Operant Conditioning n Biological constraints predispose organisms to learn associations that are naturally adaptive n Breland (1961) showed that animals drift toward their biologically predisposed instinctive behaviors Marian Breland Bailey
Operant Vs. Classical Conditioning
Review What is a cognitive map? How did rats use it in operant conditioning? n What is latent learning? Provide an example. n What is insight? What is its role in problem-solving? n What is the difference between intrinsic motivation and extrinsic motivation? n In what ways do organisms’ biology n
