Question
Explain the experiment of skinner causal synthesis.

Answer

  • The American scientist B. F. Skinner has given the theory of causation.
  • His concept differs from the classical conventions.
  • Prevalence is achieved without any reaction in classical research.
  • Prevalence is achieved when the factor shows any reaction in the synthesis. That is why factor conjunction is called functional conjunction.
  • Experiment:
  • Skinner has created a problem box to explain the concept of causal theory.
  • In which it is arranged to attach a storage box for the storage of angutica and the wire under it with the handle, from the storage box to receive the food in the food container.
  • He met a hungry rat in the problem box.
  • Initially, the rats rush to get out of the box.
  • Fill in the blanks on the rods.
  • Suddenly his paw falls on the handle and the food is received in a food container.
  • No education is received as the reaction of the rat at this time is accidental.
  • Going forward, the rat seems to be trying to get out of the problem box again.
  • Suddenly the hand receives a pressed esophagus.
  • Experimenting four times in Skinner's experiment helped the rat gain insight. That the pelvis is obtained by pressing the hand.
  • The rat then obtains food by repeatedly pressing the hand.
  • Here, the reaction of the rat becomes stronger as it receives proliferation in return for the reaction.
  • In the first attempt (15) minutes, in the second attempt 35 (20) minutes, in the third attempt 47 (12) minutes, and in the fourth attempt 71 (24) minutes.
  • Basic concepts:
(1) Prevalence:
  • Providing force to animals to react is called reinforcement.
  • There are two main types of reinforcement. (A) Legislative reinforcement (B) Inhibitory reinforcement.
(A) Legislative Strength:
  • What triggers the reaction learned through reinforcement is called legislative reinforcement.
  • Which makes the reaction more robust.
  • E.g. Mice often react to hand pressures by receiving food pellets in Skinner's experiment.
  • It has an annulus legislative predominance.
(B) Prohibition prevalence:
  • Inhibitors such as stimulants removed after a reaction, according to Skinner
  • In the Skinner experiment, rats reacting to repeated hand presses to avoid electric shock are called inhibitory stimulants.
(2) Extinction:
  • The process of extinction is called extinction.
  • In the Skinner experiment, the pelvis is obtained by pressing the hand.
  • But the rats do not receive the pelvis despite repeated hand presses so the mice stop responding to the hand press.
  • This is called extinction.
(3) Generalization of the stimulus:
  • The stimulus is not generalized in Skinner's causal synthesis as in the classical synthesis.
  • But in everyday life there is generalization according to causal research.
  • E.g. when a child's toy is hidden in one place and the child learns the task of finding the toy, then the toy is hidden in a new place and when the child finds the toy from a new place, there is a generalization between the old and the new place.
(4) Stimulus Discrimination:
  • When the difference between two stimuli begins to be discerned, it is called distinguishing between stimuli.
  • For example, in Skinner's experiment, the mouse is given a food pellet by pressing the hand in the presence of light.
  • But stopping the hand pressing in the dark is called stimulus discrimination.
