 satiation versus habituation. Now if you've been watching this season of Penny Packers Petence, you will notice that this particular season so far has all been recorded in one outfit. That's because we recorded it in the session. Low budget. I've got a plenty nice wardrobe I'm just lazy and I'm not gonna go upstairs and go get it. Anyway because we record in the basement because that's how awesome we are. We don't even have a studio. We have a makeshift studio. Anyway it's cool. Oh no children are coming. Nothing like that happening in the middle of a video. Just like one minute okay. I got to finish this video in one minute. That's my deal. One minute videos which I'm already over that but I don't care. So here you go. Satiation versus habituation. So you will see it all the time people like oh man he's totally satiated to that reinforcer or oh no she won't she won't take that toy anymore because she's she's satiated. Stop with that. Right now. Unless it's pika. Right? Unless you're eating the darn thing you can't satiate on. Everybody's like their heads exploding right now. I don't care. If they are talking about satiation to a reinforcer, right? That literally means you're full all right and you're not hungry anymore. You devalued the reinforcer so it's no longer gonna serve the reinforcer. But more importantly it's not just that reinforcer. If you've satiated to a food-based reinforcer if I switch up the reinforcer and just do like a hot dog versus a versus hamburger bites you wouldn't think it would maintain behavior if you've satiated to it. However that often isn't the case. So what you need to remember folks is that habituation to reinforcers is actually a thing. You habituate to reinforcers within a session. So if you're working with me over the next five minutes or one minute or whatever it is and you're giving me reinforcers over and over and over and over again suddenly they're not working. They're not home behavior anymore. Guess what? It's probably that I habituated to them. Change it up. So if you're giving me M&M's and a whole bunch of M&M's and M&M's give me a potato chip. Boom! Behavior come right back. That's habituation. So people confuse it all the time. They forgot about it. They didn't. They never learned Frank Dr. McSweeney's research. They never learned that stuff. So focus on it folks. Habituation versus satiation. Understand the difference. Utilize it in your practice because it is a super powerful thing to understand. Almost always in my experience my understanding of behavior is that when you're starting to get a reinforcer that's no longer working check to see if it's habituated. Probably not satiated.
