J,AY 7,1963 t SYCHOLOGY: Lane Enumerates Learning Theories Three basic principles of be- havioral psychology which have been discovered in laboratory ex- perimentation in learning theory include - reinforcement-extinction, discrimination-generalization and shaping, Prof. Harlan Lane of the psychology department said yes- terday. Speaking on "Reinforcement as a Controlling Factor in Human Learning," Prof. Lane noted that the first principle of behavioral psychology, reinforcement, is a stimulus which increases the prob- ability of response.. In laboratory experiments with animals reinforcement consists of food if the animal is food-depriv- ed. Secondary reinforcements are neutral stimuli that have acquired stimulatory power through associ- ation. An example of this on the human level is money, which has no value of its own but represents things of value to the subject. Selects Response To use reinforcement techniques, the experimenter selects any one of the rxesponses in the behaving organism's motor repertory. As. an example Prof. Lane dem- onstrated reinforcement on a pig- eon which had been trained to peck a green light and which low- ered a tray of food into the cage. When the light turned red, the pigeon stopped pecking since it had learned that it would get food if it did not peck for 30 seconds. Prof. Lane noted that pecking on levers is not a common motor Church Cites Central States Arts CompleX The Midwest should outgrow its "inferiority complex about the arts," Michael P. Church of the Extension Service said recently at a conference at Michigan College of Mining and Technology. "New Yorkers have created the idea that the sole showplace for all the country's talent is New York. But scratch any New York artist and underneath you will find somebody from another re- gion," he said. Church believes the future of American arts lies not in "show- places like New York's Lincoln Center" but in regional art cen- ters. If people outside New York "im- bue themselves with the necessary confidence to create an indigenous or regional product, it will find a market," he said. PROF. HARLAN LANE ..: learning reinforcement Hager Tells Of Housing Liberalism By KAREN MARGOLIS The Big Ten Housing Confer- ence recently held at Madison showed that the University is one of the most liberal Big Ten schools in the field of housing, Assembly Association President Charlene Hager, '65, reported at yesterday's AHC meeting. With respect to receiving apart- ment permissions and having a voice in house government, the University is much freer than most schools, she said. She also noted that "we have the highest scholastic average of the ten. Some other schools only require a .75 or 1.0 (on a 4-point scale) to stay in the dorms, while we require a 2.0 after two semes- ters." At most of the other schools more defined splits between affili- ated and independent 'students exist. At the University of Wis- consin there is a three-way split among affiliates, apartment and dormitory dwellers, Miss Hager said. In other business at the meeting, the Council passed a motion to publish a supplement to the reg- ular dorm house booklets. This will take the place of "Women's Roles and Rules," a booklet which is to be discontinued next year, but or- dinarily published jointly by As- sembly, Panhellenic Association and the Women's League. Miss Hager pointed out that the AHC supplement would im- prove the house booklets by giv- ing the entire picture of the hous- ing government structure in one publication. Although the University contri- butes to the cost of the regular house booklets, Assembly will as- sume the cost of its supplement. A motion was introduced to make available to all dorm houses a booklet for parents containing the history and social functions of the house, dates the University will be closed for vacations, and places to stay on Ann Arbor visits. Other motions were passed to allow Panhel to place posters in dorms and to allow Student Gov- ernment Council representatives to speak at house meetings.

CRAINE .. outdoor recreation SPONSORSHIP: response in pigeons, but had to be learned for the experiment. In human subjects, it was found that if reinforcement takes place at irregular intervals rather than regularly, the subject takes longer to reach extinction. In an experiment where college students were told a machine would drop pennies into a cup near them at irregular intervals for saying the syllable "oo," the ex- perimenters packed up and went home for the night, leaving one of the subjects behind. Although the machinery was turned off, the experimenters found the student still there at 10:00 the next morn- ing, after 13 hours of "oo-ing" without reward. Shaping is a phenomenon by which the experimenter can alter the organism's behavior subtly in any direction he wants without changing the basic pattern. Illustration To illustrate, Prof. Lane taught his pigeon not to walk in circles in the cage, while his red light was on and he was waiting for his food tray to descend. By reinforcing him every time he faced the wall, Prof. Lane changed his behavior, or shaped it in the direction he wished. CinemaGuild Offers Help For Groups Cinema Guild, one of the related boards of Student Government Council, is again offering finan- cial aid to student organizations under its revised sponsorship pol- icy. This policy provides that the board will render aid to registered student organizations "based on financial considerations and the potential good to the University which grants from the board can accomplish." Organizations can apply for help by placing a petition contain- ing a full financial statement in the board mailbox at the SAB. Petitions must be received by May 20.

Prof. Gooch noted much success in communicating with illiterate people in Nepal through use of pictographs (symbolic drawings of familiar objects) . The villagers' were able to iden- tify well over half the drawings.
