Course Detail: BEHP1168 - A Critical Look at the Concept of Reinforcement

A CRITICAL LOOK AT THE CONCEPT OF REINFORCEMENT - BEHP1168 Looks critically at the concept of reinforcement beginning with Thorndike's Law of Effect. Evaluates standard definitions of reinforcement, where they came from and notes commonalities. Goes on to suggest alternative definitions that correct for some problems with the standard definitions. Examines implications for processes named reinforcement that are not consistent with any definition of reinforcement (e.g., NCR, DRO) and for behavior analysts' verbal behavior about reinforcement.
