 So we got this question on Facebook. It's about BJ Bauer. So BJ Bauer asked a question on Facebook about why the need to pee intensifies as you get closer to the door. He's kind of wondering about some issues with that. So I thought we'd cover it behavior analytically for you. It's, God. All right, so anyway, so the need to pee, you know, right, it's that, you know, that feeling, you know, that sort of feeling kind of happened right now. Anyway, even when he asked the question, I suddenly had to pee. So the question really becomes what's going on, right? Well, there's all sorts of things that are going on here. I just, God, couldn't like to get the keys out. Several things, probably a conditioned stimulus to be completely honest with you that you're getting closer to that toilet and the closer you get to the toilet, the more it's like that you're just gonna release. And it's gonna feel really good. And you get distracted and it's so close. No, that's not right. Anyway, so it's probably some type of conditioned stimulus. Of course, there could be an SD component because the door might signal that you're gonna get the release and get the negative reinforcement of looking to get rid of the pee. The, I wish you would stop feeding me so much water at work, it's just, it's a great example, but dammit, I just, I kind of can't pee. I'm gonna end up being in my pants so I don't get in here. Anyway, it's gonna get worse as I get closer to the bathroom. But just to finish the video here for you, we've gotta talk about that conditioned stimulus, right? So the door becomes a conditioned stimulus. It's like, I'm gonna get through there. I hope, I, you know, we're kind of taking some guesswork here because we didn't bring it in to do an experiment on this. But ultimately, folks, that's probably what's going on. Again, it might be an SD, right? It signals that you're about ready to get to the bathroom and that reinforcement is gonna be available, negative reinforcement for peeing into the toilet. Anyway, or it is a conditioned stimulus in and to itself that the house, or as you're getting closer to it, signals that you are going to be able to engage in that particular response. Now, of course, I'm talking kind of mixing about some classical and operant conditioning there, but the idea is definitely apply. It's the same type of thing that if you ran some water near someone that has to pee, they probably might have to pee a little bit more. So, anyway, definitely conditioned stimulus. All right, now, I'm gonna go pee. Woo! Ladies and gentlemen, join us for a psych core cram session. It's where operant and classical meet.
