5025 Part 1 Flashcards
Escape
Response terminates aversive stimulus
Experimental analysis of behavior
Use experimentation to examine principles of behavior
Extinction
reinforcer does not follow response and weakens RS relation
Fixed interval
Reinforcer is delivered for the first correct response after a passage of time
Fixed ratio
Reinforcer is delivered after a specific number of responses
Forward chaining
Teach first step of a task analysis first
Four term contingency
MO-A-B-C
Frequency
Count
Functional relation
One event dependent upon another
Functional response class
All forms of the response with a similar function
Generalization
Response occurs in the presence of untrained stimuli
Imitation
Copy modeled response
Independent variable
Manipulated
Inter-observer agreement
Two people independently observe, record and agree on the occurrence of a response
IRT
Time between two consecutive responses
Interval recording
Record if response occurs during a period of time
Intervention
Implement a procedure to change a target behavior
Latency
Time from onset of stimulus to initiating response
Limited hold
Window of opportunity for reinforcement after FI or VI
Modeling
Demonstrate desired behavior
Momentary time sample
Record the presence or absence of a response at an exact moment in time
Motivating operations
alter the value of a consequence and changes frequency of behavior
Negative punishment
rate of responding decreases when stimulus removed after response
Unconditioned stimulus
Stimulus elicits response without prior learning
Chaining
Teach steps of a complex behavior
Contingency
If-then relationship
Abolishing operation
temporarily decreases the value of a consequence
Consequence
Stimulus that follows behavior
Abscissa
X axis
Analytic
Evaluate functional relationships
Negative reinforcement
rate of responding increases when stimulus removed after response
Operant behavior
Learned through consequences
Operant conditioning
Consequence immediately follows response and changes RS relation
Ordinate
Y axis
Parsimony
Rule out simple, logical explanations first
Pavlov
Studied respondent conditioning
