/in /by

what is the primary difference between molecular and molar accounts of schedule performance?

 Molecular accounts focus on small moment-to-moment relationships between behavior and its consequences.

Molar accounts are concerned with large-scale factors that occur over the length of an entire session.

Why are concurrent ratio schedules not typically used to study choice behavior?
Concurrent ratio schedules are seldom used to study choice behavior because they typically result in exclusive responding for the alternative associated with the highest rate of payoff (lowest ratio requirement).

Briefly discuss the 3 points that the people in the second stage of behaviorism

/in /by

 

Briefly discuss the 3 points that the people in the second stage of behaviorism (neobehaviorists) agreed on. Define purpose behaviorism and intervening variables.

The main influences of behaviourist psychology were Ivan Pavlov (1849-1936), Edward Lee Thorndike (1874-1949), John B. Watson (1878-1958), and B.F. Skinner (1904-1990).

How derived stimulus relations and verbal behavior contribute to the development ?

/in /by

Explain the similarities and differences of how derived stimulus relations and verbal behavior contribute to the development of an individual’s language and cognition.

As mentioned above, derived stimulus relations are not the result of direct training or learning. Verbal behavior is. It is language-related behavior formed through operant conditioning. Both constructs contribute to the expansion and development of our language ability and cognition.

What is the role of verbal behavior in derived stimulus relations?
Equivalence involves correctly responding to stimulus-stimulus relations that have not been trained or reinforced but are the result of reinforcing other stimulus-stimulus relations (Cooper, Heron, and Heward, 2007). Derived stimulus relations are basically new connections that learners make.
