Q

3 types of mentalisms

A

Hypothetical constructs
Explanatory fiction
Circular reasoning

30
Q

Hypothetical constructs

A

Theoretical terms such as #superego #freewill

Describing bx in reference to these constructs…#karma #intelligent

31
Q

Explanatory Fiction

A

Explains with #fictitious variable

Why does the rat hit the lever? Cause he knows to do it.

32
Q

Circular reasoning

A

Gets you know where
Way of viewing cause and effect without coming up without any actual items.

He has autism—>he stims

33
Q

Stimulus classes

A

Formal, temporal, function

34
Q

GCR

A

Generalized conditioned reinforcers

Reinforcers that have been paired with many other unconditioned and conditioned reinforcement.

35
Q

2 types of negative reinforcement

A

Escape

Avoidance

36
Q

Unwanted effect of reinforcement

A

Behavior contrast

37
Q

5 types of positive punishment

A
Shock
Overcorrection (2 types: restitutional overcorrection and positive practice)
Reprimand
Exercise
Response blocking
38
Q

Negative punishment

A
Response cost (loss of specific R+)
--bonus response cost
--direct fine
Time out (from R+)
--non-exclusionary
--exclusionary
39
Q

Unwanted effects of punishment

A
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
Q

Resurgence

A

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
Q

Unwanted effects of extinction

A

Extinction induced aggression

Escape and avoidance

42
Q

SD

A

Reinforcement is available

43
Q

S◇ s-delta

A

No reinforcement available

44
Q

Masking

A

A secondary or competing stimulus blocks the evocative effect of the original stimulus. #knowerNOTashower
(you know the answer)

45
Q

Overshadowing

A

the presence of one stimulus condition interferes with acquisition of stimulus control by another stimulus.
(interrupting learning process)

46
Q

7 ways to promote generalization

A
C-MINGLE
Common stimuli
Mediation
Indiscriminable contingencies
Non-examples
General case analysis
Loosely (teaching loosely)
Exemplars (multiple exemplars)
47
Q

Programming common stimuli

A

same stimuli in the real environment

48
Q

Mediation

A

Maintaining bx (involving family and stakeholders)

49
Q

Indiscriminable contingencies

A

natural environment, delayed reinforcement, intermittent schedules

50
Q

Non-examples

A

stimulus discrimination, DON’T DO IT

51
Q

General case analysis

A

analyze the case, what you need to program, generative learning, helps you create different strategies

52
Q

Teach loosely

A

loose ponytail, vary insignificant elements

53
Q

Multiple exemplars

A

sufficient stimulus examples, sufficient response example (promotes response and stimulus generalization)

54
Q

Value altering effect

A

Establishing Operation, Abolishing operation

55
Q

Behavior altering effect

A

Evocative effect, Abative effect

56
Q

Establishing operation leads to…

A

evocative effect (ask yourself do I give F?)

57
Q

Abolishing operation leads to…

A

abative effect (ask yourself do I give a F?)

58
Q

Point-to-point correspondence

A

all parts of the word/ phrase match.
Ex: hello–>hello
Non-ex: hello–>hi

59
Q

Formal similarity

A

Same FORM. Both vocal, both written, both signed.
Ex: vocal hi–> vocal hey
Non-ex: vocal hi->written hello

60
Q

Codic

A

code, textual, transcription, point2point correspondence, NO formal similarity

61
Q

63
Q

A

temporal locus, temporal extent, repeatability

64
Q

Temporal locus

A
Measuring IRT and latency
-Everything happens at a point in time
#point in time
65

A

Used for high rates of BX ex: swimming, tantrums.
measures total duration per occurrence, total duration per session
#continuous behavior

66
