positive reinforcement
something is added to the environment that increases the likelihood of the behavior to occur in the future
something is added to the environment that increases the likelihood of the behavior to occur in the future
positive reinforcement
negative reinforcement
something is removed to the environment that increases the likelihood of the behavior to occur in the future
something is removed to the environment that increases the likelihood of the behavior to occur in the future
negative reinforcement
positive punishment
something is added to the environment that decreases the likelihood of the behavior to occur in the future
something is added to the environment that decreases the likelihood of the behavior to occur in the future
positive punishment
negative punishment
something is removed to the environment that decreases the likelihood of the behavior to occur in the future
something is removed to the environment that decreases the likelihood of the behavior to occur in the future
negative punishment
three-term contingency
A-B-C
basic unit of analysis in the analysis of operant behavior

difficulty of positive vs negative reinforcement
e.g. turning up heat adds heat also removes cold

solutions to difficulty
define key stimulus features (before the stimulus change and after the stimulus change)

avoidance
The prevention of an aversive stimulus by a response.
The prevention of an aversive stimulus by a response.

escape
get away from an aversive experience, involving another person, in the outside environment (e.g., noisy classroom, difficult task, etc.)

Principles of Behavior
describes a functional relation between behavior and one or more of its controlling variables

Principles of Behavior
automatic reinforcement
reinforcement that occurs independent of another person delivering it
e.g. leg shaking, brush hair
