Document Summary
Chapter 13: establishing behavior by escape and avoidance conditioning. Curing jason"s slouching: model employee, but slouching while he worked presented as inappropriate for psychiatric patients at hospital. Jason told to wear a shoulder harness that held an elastic cord across his back. If jason slouched, the cord stretched creating a clicking sound: he slouched 60% of the time, after he slouched only 1% of the time, three behavior principles in jason"s case: escape, avoidance, punishment. Escape conditioning: escape conditioning, e. c, (negative conditioning): states removal of certain stimuli (averse stimuli) immediately after the occurrence of a behavior will increase likelihood of that behavior, example: removal of loud tone following response of fixing posture increased. Avoidance conditioning: escape conditioning disadvantage= aversive stimulus must be present for desired response to occur. Jason wearing the apparatus: escape conditioning= strengthened good posture, avoidance conditioning=maintained it (posture), poor posture= immediately punished. Students learn to give right answers on test to avoid poor grades.
