Conditioning Novel Behavior in Porpoises
Behavioral Interpretation of Memory David C. Palmer
Experimental analysis vs. Interpretation Experimental analysis Manipulation of independent variables and study effect on DV n Interpretation Explaining a phenomenon using known principles n. Helpful in complex arrangements that may be impossible to analyze n
Memory? Storage metaphor Traditional theories of memory appeal to experiences stored in “memory banks”, etc. n. Then, we recall a memory by retrieving the experience from our “memory” n. Memories are sometimes stored as “copies” n
Memory? Behavioral view Memory is a behavioral phenomenon n. Memories are stimulus control relations that survive across time n. For example, child learns to name “pencil”: is then able to name it the next day n. Forgetting therefore is the weakening of a behavioral relation over time n
Memory? Another angle: The behavior of “remembering” may also be a result of problem solving Problem: Responses are in the repertoire n. SDs are present that signal reinforcement is forthcoming and EO is present n. The response is not under direct control of current stimuli n
Memory? Example: What did you have for breakfast yesterday? “Pancakes” is in the repertoire as a tact n Reinforcement is scheduled for the answer n But, “pancakes” has not been conditioned directly to “What did you have for breakfast yesterday” – not an intraverbal n To emit the response, two elements must obtain: 1) Person must get supplementary stimuli to evoke response, and 2) must recognize it as correct n
Memory? Exploratory VB – self probes “What did I do yesterday? Hmm… got up, took a shower, and then… oh yes, I made some cereal n Conditioned seeing Assume that perceptual behavior (seeing) is conditioned as we emit it and can be evoked by accompanying stimuli n. That is, we may “see” ourselves coming out of the shower, going to the kitchen, and getting the cereal n
Memory? Conditioned seeing (cont’d) Note that conditioned seeing is evoked by current stimuli that may be associated with the seeing – “Now what did I do this AM…” We“see” the kitchen and some of the stimuli that were present n How do we recognize that it is correct? We may respond to its strength: “I am sure that I had cereal” n. The conditioned seeing may evoke other vivid conditioned seeing that is strong to confirm n
Memory? Main point: to remember is to provide supplementary stimuli to yourself using exploratory VB and conditioned seeing

• You are discussing a case with a VE teacher who is taking her first course in the ABA sequence at FIT. The issue at hand is a kid’s tantrums. The teacher explains the tantrums in the following way: “He is having these tantrums because of frustration. ” • What kind of faulty explanation is this? • Please describe the feedback that you would provide to her.
You decide to work on the case described above. The descriptive analysis information suggests that the tantrums occur because in the past, such behavior has been followed by attention. Design an FA that would test this hypothesis.
Critique the following: “The data shows that the behavior has improved quite dramatically. ”
• You have a client who is taking Valium for anxiety. The mother has decided that the drug causes too much sedation, and immediately terminates the drug administration. • What are the main effects of drug? • Withdrawal syndrome? • Possible risk events? • How does Valium work?

“Behaviorists Don’t Deal with Thinking!”
• You are working with a teacher who is teaching the letters of the alphabet. She is using cards with the letter and a picture of an item that if spelled out, would start with the letter in question. For example, the “A” card has an apple on it, the “B” card has a bat on it, etc. The kids are responding well to each card. The teacher asks you one day “Hey I wonder if the kids are attending to the letter or the picture of each card? ” • First, explain to her what “attention” means. • Then, design an experiment that will answer her question. • Finally, what EAB study provides the basis for your experiment?
“Behaviorists Don’t Consider Feelings!”
• You are working with a 40 year old male who exhibits aggression and property destruction. There is a behavior program in place to address the behaviors, and there is a full complement of medications. One of the meds is Risperdol. • What class is the drug? • You are discussing the med with staff, and wish to alert them about possible side effects. What are these? • What NT is involved?
• You design a Tx package that involves a DRI schedule in which attention is delivered for staying on task for a period of time (e. g. , 5 minutes). • How is the DRI interval set? • Set up an experiment that would show the Tx is effective • Set up an experiment that disentangles the attention from the contingency between staying on task and attention

IOA vs Accuracy
Critique the following: “The criteria for the experiment was changed, and it was modified by the experimenter. ”
Elements of program organized by function…
Critique the following: “The experimenter re-designed the study quickly, and then began anew. ”
Case #1: There is a case on which you are consulting. The client is a 25 year old female who frequently throws items in the house. The have been many functional analyses of the behavior over the years, but there are no conclusive results. However, one hypothesis is that the behavior produces automatic reinforcement in the form of the sight/sound of the item hitting the floor. Design an FA to test this hypothesis. Do not try and separate the effects of the sight vs the sound of the item hitting the floor. Only test whether or not that event, the sight/sound of the item hitting the floor, is maintaining the behavior.
Explanations: You are working on a case with another graduate student in ABA. A particularly difficult situation is being discussed, and the behavior involves some elopement. Your friend explains the behavior with statements such as this: “She is running away to get some PVC pipes that her neighbor has in his garage. ” Critique this explanation of behavior, and offer an alternative explanation.
Critique the following: The data were graphed by the behavior analyst very precisely.

Case #1 You are working in a vocational training center with several staff who are charged with implementing a behavior program. You are interested in treatment fidelity (or integrity). You have a procedure that you think will improve fidelity that involves feedback and incentives. Design an experiment that will test the efficacy of the treatment on Tx fidelity.
Real life respondent conditioning: Diagram an example of respondent conditioning using the relevant terms.
“Why do people get depressed? ”
Case #2: There is a case on which you are consulting. The client is a 25 year old female who frequently throws items in the house. The have been many functional analyses of the behavior over the years, but there are no conclusive results. However, one hypothesis is that the behavior produces automatic reinforcement in the form of the sight/sound of the item hitting the floor. Design an FA to test this hypothesis. Do not try and separate the effects of the sight vs the sound of the item hitting the floor. Only test whether or not that event, the sight/sound of the item hitting the floor, is maintaining the behavior.

You are collecting rate data on a problem behavior (e. g. , aggression), and a 2 nd observer is also collecting data. Demonstrate (draw the bins, etc) the mean count-per-interval method to compute the IOA. You don’t have to use a large number of intervals, as 5 will suffice.
You are in a discussion of reinforcement. The discussant informs you that the use of artificial reinforcers is ill-advised. Indeed, he argues that reinforcers devalue intrinsic motivation. Your response to this is…
Behaviorists are all wrong. Their data and procedures are based on studying rats and pigeons, for goodness sake!

Chapter 19: Thinking §Advantages of VB: §Extends senses of listener §Extends action possibilities of speaker
Chapter 19: Thinking §A full account of VB must include “covert verbal behavior”: §Covert VB is involved in problem solving, thinking, etc. §Why is VB sometimes covert? §May avoid punishment §Less effort §Controlling variables may be weak
Chapter 19: Thinking §Thinking: §Is behavior! §Can be overt or covert §Involves speaking and listening by the same person §Is behavior that produces its own reinforcement
Chapter 19: Thinking §Example: §Someone tells you that your client is having some major tantrums. You observe the tantrums and engage in some thinking.
Chapter 19: Thinking §Visualize the tantrums, the antecedents, and consequences that you just saw. §Tacts of what you are seeing: “hmm, the kid was in task…and therapist put him in timeout…”
Chapter 19: Thinking §Intraverbals arise from tacts: “Now if he is in timeout, maybe that is reinforcing tantrums” §The intraverbals evoke visualizations of previous cases of tantrums in task in which escape extinction was used
Chapter 19: Thinking §You ask yourself out loud: “Hey, is there any other evidence of tantrums that escape tasks with this kid? ” §You respond with: “Yep, I saw a couple in his classroom” §These behaviors end with “These tantrums produce escape!”
Chapter 19: Thinking §Main point: Thinking is behavior and has NO special properties that set it apart from other behavior.
