57
5 types of positive reinforcement
Sensory, Edible, Activity, Tangible, Social #SEATS
58
2 types of negative reinforcement
escape, avoidance
59
stops an aversive that is already happening
escape
60
prevents/postpones presentation of aversive stimulus
avoidance
61
bx change in a setting other than the one being reinforced
behavioral contrast
62
stimulus change that functions as reinforcement even though the learner has no prior learning
unconditioned reinforcer #primary
63
previously neutral stimulus change that has acquired the capability to function as a reinforcer through S-S pairing with one or more unconditioned reinforcers
conditioned reinforcer #secondary #operant #Pavlov and the bells
64
5 types of positive punishment
shock, overcorrection, reprimands, exercise, response blocking #SORER
65
2 types of overcorrection

| positive practice #replacement bx
66
2 types of negative punishment
response cost, timeout
67
2 types of response cost
bonus response cost, direct fine

additional time dependent on bx #might not earn it (response cost)
bonus response cost
69
direct loss of a positive reinforcer (response cost)
direct fine
70
2 types of timeout
exclusionary, non-exclusionary
71
planned ignoring, taking away items, observation timeout, ribbon (signals reinforcement is available)
non-exclusionary time out
72
removed to hallway, room, partition
exclusionary time out
73
1. may be negatively reinforcing to adult/implementer
2. requires supervision
3. behavioral contrast
4. effects can be temporary
5. doesn't teach replacement bx

replication
83

parsimony
84
healthy skepticism, questioning
philosophical doubt
85
previously reinforced response is discontinued, so bx decreases in the future
extinction
86
bx gets worse before it gets better
extinction burst
87
1. extinction burst
2. extinction induced aggression
3. difficult to get everyone on board
4. must use in treatment package
5. bx contrast
unwanted effects of extinction
88
after a bx has been through extinction, a different bx occurs for the same function
resurgence
89
when a response is altered in the presence of an antecedent stimulus
stimulus control
90
responses are reinforced only in the presence of a specific stimulus or SD and not in the present of other stimuli or SDelta
stimulus discrimination
91
secondary stimulus blocks the function of a stimulus; skill is already in the repertoire
masking
92
secondary stimulus interferes; skill not the one repertoire
overshadowing
93
1 response, multiple stimulus; loose control; within stimulus class
stimulus generalization
94
1 stimulus, multiple responses; novel responses, form of bx changes
response generalization
95
different stimulus do not evoke the same response; tight stimulus control; between/across stimulus class; non-examples
stimulus discrimination
96
promoting generalization: stimulus generalization
teach sufficient stimulus examples
97
promoting generalization: response generalization; multiple responses
teach sufficient response examples
98
promoting generalization: using the real environment/stimuli
program common stimuli
99
promoting generalization: stimulus discrimination
non-examples
100
promoting generalization: natural environment, reinforcement is not alway available
indiscriminable contingencies
101
promoting generalization: other people involved
mediation
102
promoting generalization: different stimuli involved (hair down/hair up; contacts/glasses)
loosely train
103
promoting generalization: analyze the case; what do you need
general case analysis
104

temporal extent
107

108
