Release of pressure is “relief”, surely, not a “reward”. The release is reinforcing if the desired behaviour is more likely to occur again once the stimulus is removed. I understand that operant conditioning involves more than just negative reinforcement. Having set the environment up to maximise success for the learner, I understood positive reinforcement was a preferable alternative before using negative reinforcement? A horse, like a hippo or hedgehog or any other being with a pulse, learns through all four quadrants. Why is it assumed horses only learn through -R I wonder ?
It's definitely not assumed so but most classical horse training is based off of negative reinforcement. It would be great if more horse people learnt how this (-R) works so that the training used by most of the horse world was done in a more controlled manner and thus more humane, aka the cues are so light and refined that in turn, it's less irritable to the horse. Thus less harsh bits are used, or bits in general (morenbitless woop woop), less spur use because you don't need them etc. etc.. Of course the ideal is much more positive reinforcement and there are heaps of horse trainers and individuals practising it nowadays. Hopefully one day we call all walk around with bumbags full of treats and it be considered normal ay! Check out Melanie Watson, she's a great advocate for +R in the horse world. And Andrew McLean now has a Diploma course too! And Click with horses by Georgia Bruce :)
Anarikins The universal language of training is ethologically driven. Once you get this you can “talk” to them in their own language. The discussion in this video is bullshit. Sorry that’s the only way to say it. .
