  1. Social & Emotional Development Chapter 10

  2. Processes in Social Behavior -Social Behavior as Operant Interactions • : • Bert's Contingency: • Sees Ernie →"Hi Ernie" →E. smiles • Sd → R →S+r • ( Setting Event = Walking along) • Ernie's Contingency: • "Hi Ernie“ → E smiles→Bert Smiles • Sd →R →S+r • (Setting Event = In a good mood)

  3. The Function of Social Behavior

  4. Phylogenic Contributions to Social Development • Physical Characteristics • Social Reflexes • Facial Expressions • Reflexive Crying • Neonatal Imitation

  5. Ontogenic Contributions • Social Behaviors • Reinforcement • Proximity • Attention • Affection • Observational Learning

  6. Social Reinforcement • Secondary Reinforcers • Paired with Primary Reinforcers

  7. Proximity • Reinforcer - The nearness of you

  8. Attention • Mand for Mom • Verbal behavior reinforced by mom doing something • Ways of Reducing Mands for Attention

  9. Ways of Reducing Mands for Attention • DRO – Differential Reinforcement of Other behavior • Incompatible response technique • Strengthens more desirable behavior • Doesn’t produced deprivation of reinforcer • Positive (Presentation) Punishment – Not recommended • Ethical? Escape • Negative Punishment (By Loss) (Weak if delayed) • Loss of privileges • Time-out

  10. Affection • Usually reinforces desirable behavior

  11. Observational LearningTraditional Approached • Distinction between • Learning • Performance • Direct reinforcement affects performance • Vicarious consequences affect learning • Vicarious reinforcement • Vicarious punishment

  12. An Operant Approach to Observational Learning • Generalized imitation • Imitation (matching form of response) a response class • Class assembled because some (not all) matching behaviors are reinforced • Counterimitation – reinforced for different behavior than model • So called “vicarious reinforcement” is actually an Sd cuing operant matching behavior

  13. Observational Learning of Respondents - Emotional Behavior • Other’s emotional response serves as UCS for emotional response (UCR) • Stimulus (NS) paired with other’s emotional response (UCS) becomes CS producing emotional response (CR)

  14. Prosocial Transactions - Intuitive Parenting • 1. Creating and maintaining an awake state. • 2. Presenting a simple structure of stimuli and learning trials. • 3. Providing a large number of repetitions of trials. • 4. Gradually ordering of tasks so that there is increasing complexity. • 5. Using adequate reinforcers. • 6. Being sensitive to feedback signals indicating the child's limits of tolerance.

  15. Social Behaviors in Infancy • Attachment • Separation Protests • Touch • Fear • Social Referencing • Sibling Rivaly • Empathy • Morality

  16. Attachment • Organized pattern of behavior directed toward one or more individuals. • Result of phyologenic & ontogenic factors • Ontogenic – reinforcement of proximity, imitation, and identification behaviors16

  17. Reinforcement of Separation Protests • Loss of primary caregiver results in loss of reinforcers– extinction burst • Study by Gewirtz & Pelaez-Nogueras • Baseline- noncontingent reinforcement—protests were low • Contingent reinforcement by mothers of protests – protests increase • Noncontingent (reversal) – Protest decrease

  18. Social Referencing

  19. Separation ProtestsGewirtz & Pelaez-Nogureras (1996)

  20. The Power of Touch

  21. Touch-No Touch: (N=(8) Syncrhronized Reinforcement

  22. Fear of Dark

  23. Fear of Strangers

  24. Infant Carrying Positions • Facing Inward Facing Outward

  25. Morality • Direct Contingency-shaped behavior • Rule-governed behavior • Learns difference between • Immediate direct consequences • Remote, delayed, indirect consequences • Tracking – tracking or following actual contingencies rather than just follow rules • Pliance – complying with the rules in spite of discrepancies with actual contingencies.

  26. MoralityBehavior-Analytic Approach • An increasingly sophisticated repertoire of behaviors to further one’s long-term interests based on predicted outcomes. • An organized system of rule governed behavior that controls behavior patterns that society considers “moral”. • Develops from the interaction of the child and environment in active interaction. • Context is crucial

  27. A Cognitive View of MoralityKohlberg’s Theory • Moral Reasoning (Not necessarily behavior) • Level I – Preconventional Morality • Stage 1) Tangible consequences • Stage 2) Hedonistic get rewards/avoid pun • Level II - Conventional Morality • Stage 3) Follows rules to get social approval • Stage 4) Follow conventional rules to support social order • Level III – Postconventional Morality • Stage 5) Have a social contract to do what is right • Stage 6) Universal principles of justice, democracy, etc.

  28. Taxonomy of Moral Rules(Pelaez & Moreno) • Explicit vs. Implicit • Accurate vs. Inaccurate (false or inconsistent) • Complex (multiple contingencies) vs. Simple (single contingency) • Other vs. Self-Derived source • 16 possible combinations.

  29. Development of Rule Compliance & Self-Instruction • 1. Early – Parents prompt & reinforce compliance to simple rules. • 2. Generalized compliance (rule following becomes response class). • 3. Others (e.g., teachers, grandparents) add rules. Child learns to discriminate which rules will have consequences. • 4. Adults prompt child to give own rules (self-instruction). • 5. Self-instruction generalizes to novel situations – Generalized self-instruction.
