  1. Psychology of LearningEXP4404 Chapter 6: Schedules of Reinforcement Dr. Steve

  2. Topics Covered • Intermittent Schedules of Reinforcement • FR, VR, FI, VI • Other Simple Schedules • Resistance to Extinction • Partial Reinforcement Effect • Theories of PRE • Complex Schedules • Matching Law • Applications of Research

  3. Schedules of Reinforcement • Schedule of Reinforcement • Continuous vs. Intermittent Schedules • Continuous Reinforcement (CRF) • Intermittent Reinforcement Schedules

  4. Intermittent Schedules • Fixed Ratio (FR) • Post-Reinforcement Pause (aka, Preratio Pause)

  5. Intermittent Schedules • Variable Ratio (VR)

  6. Intermittent Schedules • Fixed Interval (FI)

  7. Intermittent Schedules • Variable Interval (VI)

  8. Intermittent Schedules

  9. Other Simple Schedules • Fixed Duration (FD) • Variable Duration (VD)

  10. Other Simple Schedules • Differential Reinforcement of Low Rate (DRL) • Differential Reinforcement of High Rate (DRH)

  11. Other Simple Schedules • Noncontingent Reinforcement (NR) – • Fixed Time (FT) • Variable Time (VT)

  12. Resistance to Extinction • Stretching the Ratio

  13. Resistance to Extinction • Partial Reinforcement Effect (PRE)

  14. Resistance to Extinction Partial Reinforcement Effect

  15. Resistance to Extinction • Theories to Explain PRE • Discrimination Hypothesis • Frustration Hypothesis

  16. Resistance to Extinction • Theories to Explain PRE • Sequential Hypothesis • Response Unit Hypothesis

  17. Resistance to Extinction Response Unit Hypothesis *Response (unit) defined as the number of lever presses required for reinforcement

  18. Complex Schedules • Multiple Schedule

  19. Complex Schedules • Mixed Schedule • Chain Schedule • Tandem Schedule

  20. Complex Schedules • Comparison of Complex Schedules (so far)

  21. Complex Schedules • Cooperative Schedules • Social Loafing? • Concurrent Schedules

  22. Matching Law • Given the choice of 2 schedules, what happens? • Matching Law (Herrnstein, 1961) • B1/B2 = r1/r2

  23. Applications of Schedules of Reinforcement • Training • Problem of errorless training • Parenting
