25
Respondent bx
Watson S-R response ELICITED responses Involuntary
26
Operant Bx
Skinner S-R-S (A-B-C) EVOKES voluntary behavior
27
Methodological behaviorism
Started with Watson S-R contingency Only looked at things observable
28
Radical behaviorism
Started with skinner | Considers private events and their effects on the individual.
29
3 types of mentalisms
Hypothetical constructs Explanatory fiction Circular reasoning
30
Hypothetical constructs
Theoretical terms such as #superego #freewill | Describing bx in reference to these constructs...#karma #intelligent
31
Explanatory Fiction
Explains with #fictitious variable | Why does the rat hit the lever? Cause he knows to do it.
32
Circular reasoning
Gets you know where Way of viewing cause and effect without coming up without any actual items. He has autism--->he stims
33
Stimulus classes
Formal, temporal, function
34
GCR
Generalized conditioned reinforcers | Reinforcers that have been paired with many other unconditioned and conditioned reinforcement.
35
2 types of negative reinforcement
Escape | Avoidance
36
Unwanted effect of reinforcement
Behavior contrast
37
5 types of positive punishment
``` Shock Overcorrection (2 types: restitutional overcorrection and positive practice) Reprimand Exercise Response blocking ```
38
Negative punishment
``` Response cost (loss of specific R+) --bonus response cost --direct fine Time out (from R+) --non-exclusionary --exclusionary ```
39
Unwanted effects of punishment
``` Bx contrast Effects maybe temporary You model punishment bx You can become a punishing agent #aversive Requires lots of supervision Prepare for an emotional outburst ```
40
Resurgence
When a bx that was put on extinction while a different alternative bx was differentially reinforced comes back bc the alternative bx was no longer reinforced.
41
Unwanted effects of extinction
Extinction induced aggression | Escape and avoidance
42
SD
Reinforcement is available
43
S◇ s-delta
No reinforcement available
44
Masking
A secondary or competing stimulus blocks the evocative effect of the original stimulus. #knowerNOTashower (you know the answer)
45
Overshadowing
the presence of one stimulus condition interferes with acquisition of stimulus control by another stimulus. (interrupting learning process)
46
7 ways to promote generalization
``` C-MINGLE Common stimuli Mediation Indiscriminable contingencies Non-examples General case analysis Loosely (teaching loosely) Exemplars (multiple exemplars) ```
47
Programming common stimuli
same stimuli in the real environment
48
Mediation
Maintaining bx (involving family and stakeholders)
49
Indiscriminable contingencies
natural environment, delayed reinforcement, intermittent schedules
50
Non-examples
stimulus discrimination, DON'T DO IT
51
General case analysis
analyze the case, what you need to program, generative learning, helps you create different strategies
52
Teach loosely
loose ponytail, vary insignificant elements
53
Multiple exemplars
sufficient stimulus examples, sufficient response example (promotes response and stimulus generalization)
54
Value altering effect
Establishing Operation, Abolishing operation
55
Behavior altering effect
Evocative effect, Abative effect
56
Establishing operation leads to...
evocative effect (ask yourself do I give F?)
57
Abolishing operation leads to...
abative effect (ask yourself do I give a F?)
58
Point-to-point correspondence
all parts of the word/ phrase match. Ex: hello-->hello Non-ex: hello-->hi
59
Formal similarity
Same FORM. Both vocal, both written, both signed. Ex: vocal hi--> vocal hey Non-ex: vocal hi->written hello
60
Codic
code, textual, transcription, point2point correspondence, NO formal similarity
61
Duplic
Duplicate, echoic, point2point correspondence, formal similarity
62
Verbal operants
Mand, tact, echoic, intraverbal, textual, transcription
63
3 dimensional quantities of measurement
temporal locus, temporal extent, repeatability
64
Temporal locus
``` Measuring IRT and latency -Everything happens at a point in time #point in time ```
65
Temporal extent
Used for high rates of BX ex: swimming, tantrums. measures total duration per occurrence, total duration per session #continuous behavior
66
Repeatability
``` When bx can be counted #countability 3 types of repeatability: -frequency/ count -rate -celeration ```
67
Derivative measures
percentage and trials to criterion
68
How many opportunities do you need when conducting percentage trials?
30 opportunities
69
Continuous measurement is used for..
Discontinuous behavior
70
Discontinue measurement is used for...
Continuous behavior
71
Continuous measurement includes
``` frequency rate IRT latency duration ```
72
Discontinuous measurement includes
partial interval recording whole interval recording momentary time sampling
