The term ‘reinforcement’ can be used in a purely behaviorist sense   instead: to mean either strengthening a stimulus – response habit    Hull’s   sense of reinforcement or to increase the rate (probability) of   response emission    Skinner’s sense of reinforcement. Used in   those ways, it is purely descriptive    describing an environment-behavior   relation.. It applies only to responses that have actually been reinforced,   and is equivalent to the measured strength or rate of a behavioral   response. White has suggested a distinction between ‘reinforcement’      strengthening of stimulus–response tendencies, equivalent to the meaning   of non-Skinnerian behaviorists. and ‘reward’    confer-   ring ability to elicit approach, more similar to incentive motivation..   However, these meanings are often combined, and the term ‘reinforcement’   is typically used by behavioral neuroscientists in ways that   differ from the original behaviorist meaning of increased habit strength      quite reasonably, since the behaviorist meaning is inadequate to account   for many effects For example, place preference measures   are sometimes used to assess ‘reinforcement’ even when no response has   been ‘reinforced’    as when the animal is trained by putting it passively in   the ‘reinforced place’

Self-objectification of a person in the world is countered by the reality deobjectification according to Karl Marx. On the one hand, the product of such deobjectification is our own Ego, which contains various fragments of training and life experience in an ideal form. On the other hand, if we assume we aren’t robots, but acting individuals and objectify ourselves to reach a goal – in other words, we’ve motives of such activities, then the end of this deobjectification shall be a result. This is something that is going to bring some pleasure, or, using everyday language, be welcomed by all the subsystems of our minds. First of all, even if we confine a human to the narrative cogito, he or she continues to be a unique individual. The population of a country is taught and brought up according to some conventional established rules.
