Reinforcer Value

The generalisation of new language targets has been an elusive outcome for learners with severe disabilities. We analyse generalisation and generalisation failures by examining the influence of motivation and response competition, specifically within the context of communication targets serving a requesting function. Our examination includes a discussion of establishing operations (Michael, 1982), fluctuating reinforcer value, the emergence of communicative functions and forms, response competition, and response class phenomena. We end by offering a novel conceptualisation of generalisation with implications for clinical application.

Reinforcer Value

A male paedophile offender chose between pairs of sexual stimulus classes in a two-operandum procedure with reinforcement arranged according to concurrent variable-interval variable-interval schedules. Condition 1 involved choice between slides of women and slides of men; condition 2, slides of men vs. slides of children; and condition 3, slides of women vs. slides of children. On the assumption that the subject matched his ratios of responses and times on the two operanda to reinforcer value, estimates were obtained from the data in conditions 1 and 2 of the values of slides of women and of children relative to slides of men. These yielded predictions of the relative allocations of responses and of time in condition 3. The predicted and obtained outcomes were similar. The results support the use of matching-based scaling of reinforcer values in the prediction of choice between qualitatively different reinforcers and extend the application to a human subject, the two-operandum procedure, and sexual stimuli.

Reinforcer Value

The present experiment investigated effects of reinforcer value on sensitivity to operant force contingencies in humans. Subjects were exposed to non-salient, non-verbal operant contingencies with feedback stimuli of either low or high motivational value. Subjects who received feedback stimuli with back-up reinforcers of high motivational value demonstrated reliable adjustment to the arranged force contingencies, whereas force changes in subjects receiving low motivational feedback stimuli were unreliable. In accordance with standard animal findings, these results indicate that reinforcer value may affect operant conditioning in humans, but its effects are hypothesized to be confined to conditioning that is not mediated verbally.
