reinforcing stimulus

This is determined by what we find to be the most reinforcing stimuli.

One way to solve these problems was to use facial expressions rather than money as the reinforcing stimuli.

When an organism experiences a reinforcing stimulus, dopamine pathways in the brain are activated.

When an occurrence of a behavior that is followed is increasingly supplemented, a reinforcing stimulus occurs.

Somatic markers are associations between reinforcing stimuli that induce an associated physiological affective state.

Negatively reinforcing stimulus leads to a pseudo reflex.

Reinforcing stimuli are stimuli that are provided that increase the rate of behavior.

In terms of behaviorism, incentive theory involves positive reinforcement: the reinforcing stimulus has been conditioned to make the person happier.

Noncontingent reinforcement refers to delivery of reinforcing stimuli regardless of the organism's (aberrant) behavior.

Positive reinforcement is demonstrated by an increase in the future frequency or magnitude of a response due to in the past being followed contingently by a reinforcing stimulus.

Central to behavior analysis is the use of a Four-Term Contingency (Motivating Operation, Discriminative Stimulus, Response, Reinforcing Stimulus) to describe functional relationships in the control of behavior.

Although in many cases a reinforcing stimulus is a rewarding stimulus which is "valued" or "liked" by the individual (e.g., money received from a slot machine, the taste of the treat, the euphoria produced by an addictive drug), this is not a requirement.

In James Dinsmoor's first work, he compared the rate at which behavior (bar-pressing for food among rats) decreased over time in the presence of a discriminative stimulus without reinforcement, a reinforcing stimulus without the discriminative stimulus, and in the presence of no stimulus.
