Organization in memory and behavior.

C P Shimp

    Journal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior
    |July 1, 1976

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Common reinforcement schedules often depend on simple, instantaneous behaviors, aligning with functionalist psychology. Recent research, however, emphasizes behavior

    Area of Science:

    • Behavioral Psychology
    • Experimental Psychology
    • Cognitive Science

    Background:

    • Traditional reinforcement schedules often link reinforcers to instantaneous responses.
    • The functionalist tradition in psychology has historically focused on behaviorism and associationism.
    • Recent shifts in human memory research highlight the importance of structural and temporal aspects of behavior.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To explore the relationship between the function and structure of behavior.
    • To identify a new set of independent and dependent variables in behavioral analysis.
    • To redefine key issues within the experimental analysis of behavior.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of common reinforcement contingencies.
    • Comparison of functionalist and structuralist approaches in psychology.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Examination of the temporal structure of behavior in learning and memory.

    • Main Results:

    • Reinforcement contingencies are often based on behaviors lacking significant temporal structure.
    • A focus on behavior's interrelations between function and structure yields different variables than molar analyses.
    • This approach redefines significant issues in the experimental analysis of behavior.

    Conclusions:

    • Integrating functional and structural analyses offers a more comprehensive understanding of behavior.
    • The temporal organization of behavior is crucial for analyzing learning and memory.
    • This perspective shifts the focus of experimental behavior analysis to include behavioral structure.
