Derived relational responding as generalized operant behavior.
The major aim of the present study was to demonstrate that derived relational responding may be viewed as a form of generalized operant behavior. In Experiment 1, 4 subjects were divided into two conditions (2 in each condition). Using a two-comparison matching-to-sample procedure, all subjects were trained and tested for the formation of two combinatorially entailed relations. Subjects were tr...
متن کاملOperant Behavior
WE are interested in the behavior of an organism because of its effects on the environment. (One effect on the social environment is, of course, the arousal of our interest.) Some effects seem to throw light on the behavior which produces them, but their explanatory role has been clouded by the fact that they follow the behavior and, therefore, raise the specter of teleology. An attempt has bee...
متن کاملMathematical description of operant behavior: an introduction
Behavior analysts are interested in describing functional relations between classes of independent variables and classes of dependent variables. To be most useful such descriptions should be precise, succinct, and applicable to a wide range of particular cases. In psychology, including behavior analysis, most scientific descriptions are couched in a modified version of everyday language (e.g., ...
متن کاملDelayed reinforcement of operant behavior.
The experimental analysis of delay of reinforcement is considered from the perspective of three questions that seem basic not only to understanding delay of reinforcement, but, also, by implication, the contributions of temporal relations between events to operant behavior. The first question is whether effects of the temporal relation between responses and reinforcers can be isolated from othe...
متن کاملOperant Behavior in Model Systems
In contrast to the long-held assumption that the organization of behavior is best characterized as the perception of a sensory stimulus followed by appropriate response (i.e., “sensorimotor hypothesis”), recent converging evidence from multiple systems and fields of study instead suggests that both ancestral and extant general brain function is best described in operant terms. Rather than speci...
