29
Q

rate

A

how many times the behavior occurred in a specified time
ex: how many times you pick at your skin in one hour

30
Q

duration

A

how long the behavior lasts
ex: the amount of time you spent on a walk

31
Q

partial-interval timing

A

measuring if behavior did or did not occur in specified intervals
overestimates behavior
Ex: noting when your kids argued in a 10 minute interval while doing their homework

32
Q

whole-interval timing

A

measuring if the behavior occurred during the entire interval
underestimates behavior
ex: noting if your kid stayed on task doing homework the entire 3 minute interval
underestimates

33
Q

momentary time sampling

A

measuring a behavior at a specific moment in time
ex: you check in with your kid every 5 minutes or so to see if they are still doing their homework

34
Q

what are some common errors with measuring behavior?

A

human error is the most common threat to reliability and accuracy of data produced

35
Q

stimulus generalization

A

when an antecedent stimulus has a history of evoking a response that has been reinforced in its presence. There is a tendency for similar stimuli to also evoke a response
ex: a kid sees a picture of a cat, a live cat, and a stuffed animal cat and is able to say “cat” for all of them

36
Q

stimulus control

A

Defined as a change in operant behavior that occurs when either an SD or S^ is presented.ex: a child says dog in the presence of a dog but does not say dog when in the presence of a cat

37
Q

generalized conditioned reinforcer

A

reinforcement that occurs when a previously neutral stimulus (sound or symbol)
becomes associated with primary reinforcer (food, water)

38
Q

extinction

A

the fading away and eventual elimination of undesirable behaviors

39
Q

limited hold

A

finite amount of time that reinforcement is available
Buffet: breakfast is between 7-9. After 9, you don’t get breakfast.

40
Q

what are some harmful effects of punishment?

A

emotional or behavioral reactions
resistance to learning
will not generalize

41
Q

operant behavior

A

behavior shaped through consequences

42
Q

stimulus class

A

Group of stimuli that are similar(same elements).

43
Q

response class

A

All bodily forms that have the same function.

44
Q

stimulus equivalence

A

○ Make 2 things mean the same thing to an organism in terms of the responses they evoke

45
Q

stimulus salience

A

○ Stimuli that stick out from the other stimuli
■ Someone yelling in a library

46
Q

describe the respondent component to our emotions

A

refers to the automatic or reflexive

47
Q

describe the operant component to our emotions

A

refers to the voluntary and learned behaviors that we use to regulate our emotional experiences

48
Q

conditioned reinforcer

A

neutral stimulus paired with reinforcer to function as reinforcer

49
Q

unconditioned reinforcer

A

function as reinforcer due to species history

50
Q

IOA

A

The degree to which 2 or more independent observers report the same observed values after measuring the same events

51
Q

observer bias

A

the tendency to see what we expect to see, or what we want to see.

52
Q

3 major branches of analysis

A

Behaviorism
Experimental Analysis of Behavior (EAB)
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA)

53
Q

aversive control

A

associated with both positive punishment and negative reinforcement to control behavior

54
Q

resititutional overcorrection

A

after the problem behavior, the learner is required to repair the situation and bring the environment back to a condition that is notably improved than before the behavior occurred

55
Q

measuring bx after it has occurred by measuring its effects on the environment is known as measurement by ________

A

permanent product

56
Q

___________________________ CMO is a stimulus that acquires its MO effectiveness by being paired with another MO, and has the same value-altering and behavior-altering effects as the MO with which it was paired.

A

surrogate

57
Q

___________________________ CMO is a stimulus that acquires MO effectiveness by preceding some form of worsening or improvement.

A

reflexive

58
Q

An environmental variable that establishes (or abolishes) the reinforcing effectiveness of another stimulus and evokes (or abates) the behavior that has been reinforced by that other stimulus is a ___________________________ CMO.

Q

difference between MO and SD

A
