S-DELTA:
A stimulus in the presence of which a particular response will not be reinforced or punished.
|
|
S-DELTA: An S-delta represents the particular
occasion on which a performance will not be reinforced, in contrast
to other occasions (discriminative stimuli) during which the
performance will be reinforced. |
|
S-DELTA: When an operant does not produce reinforcement, the stimulus that
precedes the response is called an S-delta (S^). In the presence of an S-delta, the probability of emitting an operant
declines. |
