 And I get to talk about a Smaas a Cmo s or a surrogate conditioned motivating operation I like the taste of s'mores better Yeah, he did s'mores and I'll do a smot and a smaas because I like smoth and s'mas and well Shh don't not smart not damn it. He caught me. All right Ironically, we could probably make this whole work as part of an example But I don't think we want to go there because it's gonna get really messy if you know what I mean You know, no, sorry This video has gone to shit folks Let's see. Actually, no, it's gone somewhere else. But anyway, um So a small Surrogate the s in a Cmo surrogate. Okay. I Kind of like this time kind of not but and keep in mind the effects here are fairly well established in the laboratories see some of Michael's work, but Anyway, I'm getting ahead of myself getting behind myself. I put the cart before the horse So let's figure out what they are before we talk about how much research is behind them You take a motivating operation and pair a stimulus with that motivating operation That's it. The stimulus then will take on the value of the motivating operation That's a surrogate. All right. So think of it this way Motivating operation deprivation of food. You're gonna get hungry, right? So we deprive you of food for a long time We say you're hungry rolls lives. I don't really know but you get the point Okay, so now let's pair something with that deprivation. So I'm gonna prepare a pair something like a signal Like how about this a really big red card? I don't know why I picked a red card just because so you pick a red card We'll pair that with the with the deprivation from food Then in the future when I present to you that red card You'll likely want to eat where the value of food will be drastically increased. That's all there is to it It's tricky the effects are weird, but take a look at
