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.
