1. Stefan Andersson Stefan Andersson Sweden says:

    Can the exposure to stimulus (non-verbal) - stimulus (verbal) contingencies (classical conditioning) when you with a short delay are able to restore a verbal message or interpret what subjectively seems to be a verbal message contribute to a tendency to interpret what people normally ignore? (A tendency to interpret what people normally ignore may have such a profound effect that some people develop a mental illness!)

    Can poor facial recognition (impaired facial emotion recognition) like a hearing impairment or sensory deprivation increase the need to access a verbal message and will this increase exposure to stimulus (non-verbal) – stimulus (verbal) contingencies like these?

    Classical conditioning (also referred to as pavlovian or respondent conditioning) can be the result of stimulus (non-verbal) - stimulus (verbal) contingencies like these and may cause the need to access a verbal message in response to non-verbal environmental sounds while operant conditioning is the result of response - stimulus contingencies and what generates our ability to satisfy the need to access a verbal message.

    In other words to frequently be forced to restore a verbal message due to a hearing loss may cause the need to access a verbal message in response to non-verbal environmental sounds (1) and the need to access what you learn to expect can motivate a behaviour which satisfies the need to access a verbal message (2). (Hearing impairments are, as expected, important risk factors for schizophrenia... )

    1.) Any signal that consistently precedes a meal, such as a clock indicating that it is time for dinner or an appetizer, may cause us to feel hungrier than before the signal because we learn to expect a meal in response to CS (CS will eventually predict the arrival of food) and non-verbal environmental sounds that consistently precedes a verbal illusion (information) can like any signal that consistently precedes a meal become a conditioned reinforcer that can activate a drive representation D.

    2.) Operant or instrumental conditioning is a form of learning in which an individual's behaviour is modified by its consequences and it involves learning to make a response in order to obtain a reward or avoid something unpleasant. What you learn to expect or predict in response to a signal that consistently precedes a reinforcer can motivate an operant behaviour which has been established and fine tuned because it satisfies the need to access what you learn to expect or makes it possible to avoid what you learn to expect.
