A 5 minute 3-D cartoon created by Jeff Stowell using the free software "State." The video gives examples of differential reinforcement of low rate (DRL), differential reinforcement of other responding (DRO), differential reinforcement of incompatible behavior (DRI) and differential reinforcement of alternative behavior (DRA).
"Little Albert – one of the most famous subjects in the history of psychology – has finally been identified. Researchers spent 7 years tracking down every possible lead in order to discover who John Watson’s "Albert B" really was. In this video episode I take you through each step of the extensive detective work to uncover his identity. It’s a fascinating, creative, and in the end touching journey. Some never seen before pictures are included."
"This program discusses the basic principles of how we learn; classical, instrumental, and operant conditioning; and the role that stimuli and consequences play in learned behavior and habits. You'll explore how renowned researchers Ivan Pavlov, B. F. Skinner, Edward Thorndike, and John B. Watson contributed to what we know about human and animal learning."
Daniel Pink explains that money works as reinforcement for mechanical skills but not for cognitive skills.
Important note:He says “if you reward something you get more” and “if you punish something you get less.” Well, not quite. It’s the other way around. If the behavior increases, then there was a reward. If the behavior decreases, then there was a punishment. The studies he cites reveal that what is reinforcing differs based on the behavior. If it’s a highly cognitive activity, accomplishment and doing something worthwhile (and having fun) are more reinforcing than money.
