1. Distinguish between rule-governed and contingency-shaped behavior. Rule-governed and contingency-shaped behavior in that rule-governed is related to a specific discriminative stimulus via stimulus control and that contingency-shaped is behavior contingencies are specifically stated and are not simply under the stimulus control of a rule or guide. 2. What does it mean that a rule ‘points to a relation’? A rule ‘points to a relation’ means the response has subsequent consequences. Ultimately, he rule how some relation between reinforcement and the following results of the action. This leads to the idea of the response being more or less likely to occur. 3. In what ways does the Galizio (1979) demonstrate how rules control behavior? Galizio (1979) demonstrates how rules control behavior by showing how rules can come in …show more content…
Describe all the types of stimuli that can fall under the category of a rule. The types of stimuli that can fall under the category of a rule are items such as instructions and advice. Ultimately, there must be some relation between the rule and the consequences while under some form of stimulus control. 5. Discuss how rules involve two relations. How do these relations control behavior? Rules involve two relations of reinforcements and some grand warning. These relations control behavior based on an ultimate perspective which looks at reinforcement relations long term or proximate which looks at reinforcement relations on a short term scale. 6. How is rule-following explained from mentalistic and behavioral perspectives? Rule-following is explained from mentalistic in terms of people having the quality of having ownership of rules they are innately in place and our inside of us. Behavioral perspectives explain rule-following by observable responses in comparison to something that is internalized. 7. What are problems from mentalistic and behavioral perspectives? How do molar and molecular approaches differ in accounting for problem
