BEHP 5011, Units 6-9 Flashcards
The spread of the effects of reinforcement to responses outside the limits of an operant class
Induction
Opposite of differentiation
Response generalization
Its onset weakens behavior that precedes onset
Aversive stimulus
List four domains of behavior analysis
Experimental Analysis of Behavior (EAB)
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA)
Behavior Analysis Service Delivery
Conceptual Analysis of Behavior
Two value-altering effects of motivating operations
Establishing and abolishing effects
Decreases the momentary frequency of a response class
Abative effect
Introduced the term “establishing operation”
Keller and Schoenfeld
Deals with philosophical and theoretical issues
Conceptual Analysis
Reinforcement occurs if and only if the rate of response is equal to or greater than a specified value
Differential Reinforcement of a High Rate of Responding (DRH)
Reinforcement is delivered after a certain number of responses
Ratio
An alteration in the reinforcing effectiveness of a stimulus, object, or event as a result of a motivating operation.
Value-altering effect
A motivating operation that establishes the effectiveness of some stimulus, object, or event as a reinforcer
Establishing operation
Verbal operant under the antecedent control of verbal stimuli without point-to-point correspondence and with no formal similarity
Intraverbal
Opposite of response generalization
Differentiation
Consists of two or more schedules of reinforcement operating simultaneously but independently of each other, each for a different response
Concurrent schedules
Two general types of motivating operations
Establishing operations and abolishing operations
Schedule of reinforcement that produces steady, low to moderate rates of responding
Variable Interval schedule
The repeating of a vocal verbal unit
Echoic
An increase in the current frequency of behavior that has been reinforced by the stimulus that is increased in reinforcing effectiveness by the same motivating operation
Evocative effect
The likelihood that a consequence will follow a specific response now
Availability
Term used by E.A. Vargas instead of “listener”
Mediator
Each and every single response that is emitted is reinforced; used to establish or strengthen behavior
Continuous reinforcement (CRF)
A stimulus or operation which evokes or abates a behavior due to having a value-altering effect on the consequence which reinforces or punishes that behavior
Motivating operation
Its offset strengthens behavior that precedes offset
Aversive stimulus
Schedule of reinforcement that produces a pause in responding immediately after reinforcement which is followed by a gradual increase in the rate of responding, with the highest rates at the time closest to reinforcement
Fixed Interval schedule
Motivating operations increase or decrease the effectiveness of a stimulus as a consequence. This is a ______ effect.
Value-altering
Its offset weakens behavior that precedes offset
Appetitive stimulus
No discriminative stimuli (Sds) in the links of the chain
Tandem schedule
An establishing operation whose value-altering effect is of ontogenic provenance
Conditioned establishing operation (CEO)
Increase in the momentary effectiveness of a specific reinforcer or punisher
Establishing effect
A sequence of responses in which each response produces a stimulus change that functions as conditioned reinforcement for that response and as a discriminative stimulus for the next response in the chain
Behavior chain
A change in one component of a multiple schedule that increases or decreases the rate of responding on that component is accompanied by a change in the response rate in the opposite direction on the other, unaltered component of the schedule
Behavioral contrast
The set of assessment and behavior change procedures validated by ABA researchers
Behavioral technology
The number of responses, or amount of time, is random, but centers around a particular value
Variable
Name four other unconditioned motivating operations (in addition to deprivation/satiation)
Too cold, too warm, sex, painful stimulation
The speaker selects a stimulus in the environment by pointing or finding a picture and handing it to the listener
Selection-based verbal behavior
Organisms match relative rates of behavior to relative rates of reinforcement
Matching Law
Stimuli that occur between two responses in a chain
Links
An operant class that includes within it other classes that can themselves function as operants
Higher-order class
Introduced the term “motivating operations”
Jack Michael
The rule which describes or specifies which responses will be followed by reinforcement and which will not
Schedule of reinforcement
Two effects of AOs related to reinforcement
Reinforcer-abolishing effect and abative effect
The terminal target response is similar in form to the initial response, but varies across some dimension, such as rate or duration
Shaping within topographies
Three parameters of reinforcement
Magnitude, quantity, duration
Behavior acquired via immediate reinforcement contingencies
Contingency-shaped behavior
A decrease in the current frequency of behavior that has been reinforced by the stimulus that is decreased in reinforcing effectiveness by the same motivating operation
Abative effect
Helps other persons to achieve their outcomes with the implementation of procedures validated by ABA researchers to make a difference in people’s lives
ABA Practice
Its presentation evokes behavior that terminates it
Aversive stimulus
The implementation of basic principles to change behaviors of significance to clients. Which dimension of ABA?
Applied
Operant behavior reinforced through the mediation of other persons
Verbal behavior
These explain behavior by referring to hypothetical constructs from a dimension that is inferred to be inside the organism
Mentalistic explanations
Name the seven dimensions of ABA
Applied, Behavioral, Analytic, Technological, Conceptually Systematic, Effective, Generality
A restriction placed on an interval schedule requiring that the response occur within a specified time limit following the interval to be eligible for reinforcement
Limited Hold
