File name | What Is Reward and Punishment |
File Description | All functional explanations of behavior depend on some notion of what is good and bad. If we are talking in terms of evolutionary adaptation, good and bad boil down to values of inclusive Darwinian fitness, a measure reasonably clear in principle, but often elusive in practice. If we are talking in terms of the operant behavior of individual animals, good and bad correspond to reward and punishment, to situations better or worse than the current situation. This chapter is about reward and punishment: about the concept of reinforcement that includes them both, about how it is defined, and the procedures used to study its effects. |
