Q

Define operant class

A

The composite set of behaviors that result in a single type of reinforcing event

Ex. Aggressive behavior includes hitting, kicking, biting, etc.

Q

What are unconditioned respondent behaviors?

A

Behaviors elicited by stimuli that produce them despite any prior learning

  • often called reflexes
  • present at birth
  • it does not depend on learning

15
Q

What is an unconditioned response?

A

UR
often called a reflex
Present at birth

16
Q

What is respondent conditioning?

A

Also called classical conditioning
A process where a neutral stimulus (NS) is paired with a US to produce a UR.
Think Pavlov’s dogs
Or not eating applesauce

17
Q

What is a neutral stimulus?

A

One that does not automatically elicit a UR

18
Q

What is a conditioned stimulus and response?

A

A stimulus and response that are taught. CR and CS

19
Q

What is desensitization in ABA terms?

A

When you repeatedly present the CS in the absence of the UR, it will no longer elicit the CR. The CS and the US “unpair” so the CS doesn’t elicit the CR.

20
Q

What’s the difference between respondent conditioning and operant behavior?

A

In respondent conditioning, the stimulus is the sole cause of the response- almost involuntary.
In operant behavior, the antecedent stimuli don’t elicit the response. They work in combination with the consequences and set the occasion for the behavior.

21
Q

Operant responses are controlled by…

A

Stimuli that follow the behavior

22
Q

Define procedure

A

When a behavior analyst intentionally present, withdraw, or withhold stimuli for the explicit purpose of affecting behavior

23
Q

Difference between positive and negative reinforcer

A

Positive: gains a stimulus dependent on a response and increases behavior
Negative: stimulus is subtracted contingent on a response and the behavior increases

24
Q

What is MO?

A

Motivating operations- also called EO (establishing operations) or SE (setting event). Antecedent events that alter behavior by changing the value of a reinforcing or discriminative stimulus

25
Q

Stimulus control is demonstrated when…

A

An antecedent stimulus is shown to fail control over one or more particular behaviors

26
Q

What are the three SDs?

A
  1. Positive Discriminative Stimulus
  2. Discriminative Stimulus for Extinction
  3. Negative Discriminative Stimulus
27
Q

Stimulus discrimination

A

Tight stimulus control- response occurs only in the presence of stimuli that has been reinforced in the past

28
Q

Stylus generalization

A

Loose stimulus control- response occurs in the presence of stimuli sharing characteristics with those previously paired with reinforcement
