Pavlovian Programming

Disclaimer: Do not attempt any Pavlovian programming on a human being unless directed by an actively and fully qualified, clinical Psychologist. For domestic 'only' animal training, please consult an active and fully qualified veterinary surgeon who is qualified and experienced in their work with the same species of animal.

1. Pavlovian programming is a behavioural science extension of the phenomenon of the renowned training of a dog to salivate on the command of a familiar bell's peel. Elements of the successful programming will work for all mammals, including the higher order intelligence of human beings.

   
   

2. The importance of Pavlov's example was to couple an artificial stimulus with an natural stimulus, as a stimulus, two factor co-ordinate. Each stimulus should be thought of as a response amplifier (reinforcement).

   
   

3. Mammals are naturally averse to remembering coerced behaviour. It elicits avoidance behaviour. Positive reinforcement will always be more conducive to permanence of memory. The mammals often deliberately seek out the stimulus source.

   
   

As an artificial amplifier of a natural stimulus, the two are understood to be products of each other.

For positive reinforcement, the programmer would sustain a stimulus - pleasurable to the programming subject, while the desired behaviour is being promoted by a natural, associative stimulus of the desired behaviour. (The subject must be as practicably relaxed as possible.)

The programmer progressively drops, in clearly graduated increments, the strength of the field of influence of the artificial stimulus in decibel declines, until imperceivable to the subject. The stimulus must be active, and in reduction, over the course of the desired behaviour.

Overcompensation will be instituted by the central nervous of the subject to resynthesise the stimulus neurological response, as the pleasurable stimulus is gradually withdrawn, or as it becomes more desired during its growing absence. The compensatory behaviour will occur during each behavioural exercise and between the individual sets of exercises, as well as between sessions of those exercise sets. Rest time is recovery time from overstimulation. It will actually reinforce the programming, so long as the programming cycle is still observed.

For positive reinforcement of cessation behaviour simply adopt a similar regimen, except to apply an alternative, pleasurable artificial stimulant quality in reverse amplification over the duration of the exercise. It would be increased to the same decibel magnitudes as the negative decibel example for normal behavioural promotion. This regimen will cause the overcompensation early rather later. It must be programmed to occur without the natural stimulus present, while working harder to overpower the natural stimulus.

That occurs when the artificial stimulus is progressively reduced, with each new exercise to imperceivable levels, at the beginning of the early undesired, pre-behavioural attention to thoughts of the negative behaviours, including from artificial amplification reintroduction to subject's upper-tolerance level application of the reinforcement stimulus. The overcompensation in this instance is that the central nervous system will expect more artificial stimulus, so it will learn to reverse its natural stimulus response to activation of the undesired behaviour, automatically and autonomously. The activation stimulus for unwanted behaviour is eclipsed or outcompeted in the mind and the learning brain of the subject, by the artificial condition - the easier to exhibit selection of response.

Both methodologies rely on positive reinforcement. The first relies on progressive or sequential denial of positive, artificial reinforcement. The second relies on sequential increase of positive, artificial reinforcement.

The basic formula of amplification is:

a = amplification

art = artificial amplifier

nat = natural amplifier

a = art ^ -n * nat ^ -n * (activation of behaviour)

To ascertain what the natural amplifiers are, test the subject with electro-voltaic conformation of their simple yes or no responses to 'focal' questioning, designed to narrow the focus of the set of parameters of description related to the available amplifiers. I.e. the focal questions from selection criteria for what stimuli to use.
