Perfect complements satisfy a related assumption of monotonicity (more of everything is better) but neither local nonsatiation (either more or less of anything is better) or strong monotonicity (more of anything is better). Note that in the common example of left shoe/right shoe, goods are not continuous (infinitely divisible), thus local nonsatiation may not even apply (a change can't be an arbitrary constant but discrete).

Why indifference curves are always negatively sloped?

its something to do with a non satiation assumption. ie if all the bundles on the indifference curve are "goods" (actively wanted products) then the indifference curve slopes downward from L to R. if there is a "good" and a "bad" on the curve then it will be positively sloped. (upward from L to R)


Why indifference curve never touches x axis or y axis?

Indifference curves represent combinations of two goods that provide the same level of utility to a consumer. If an indifference curve were to touch the x-axis or y-axis, it would imply that the consumer is indifferent to having zero quantity of one good, which contradicts the assumption of non-satiation—the idea that more of a good always provides greater utility. As such, consumers derive some level of satisfaction from both goods, preventing the curve from touching either axis.

What is satiation of a reinforcer?

Satiation refers to how a reinforcer loses its effectiveness. For example, if someone is receiving chocolate as reinforcement, it is likely that after a time they will tire of it and no longer find it desirable. Satiation will occur if a reinforcer is given at too high a frequency, intensity or duration. Satiation tends to be linear - that is, a graph of the reinforcing effect of a stimulus against the amount of the stimulus will be a straight line falling off from left to right. There will be be a quantity of the stimulus greater than which it will start to function as a punisher. When satiation begins, the rate at which the desired behavior is displayed tapers off until it halts. This is very common with primary (or unconditioned) reinforcers such as food. Secondary (or conditioned) reinforcement such as activities, social opportunities, and learning activities tend to be more immune to satiation. General reinforcers such as money or praise - that is, secondary reinforcers that are associated with more than one primary reinforcer - are also resistant to satiation.

What is the difference between satiation and satisfaction?

Satiation means a feeling of fullness, whether that be with an emotion or food. It is also the idea of relieving as in the sentence "It satiated her hunger." Satisfaction is more of being content with something. As if something were good enough to fulfill your want. Normally, satisfaction is used with an emotion and satiation with hunger, but the two are really interchangeable.
