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.
Describe 3 ways to prevent reinforcer satiation?
To prevent reinforcer satiation, you can vary the types of reinforcers used, ensuring that they remain interesting and appealing to the individual. Implementing a schedule of reinforcement, such as intermittent reinforcement, can help maintain motivation by delivering reinforcers unpredictably. Lastly, allowing for breaks or "time-outs" from the reinforcer can help maintain its value, giving the individual time to regain interest before the reinforcer is reintroduced.
What is a conditioned reinforcer?
