Ch. 11 Flashcards
refer to the degree of correlation between the occurrence of a particular antecedent stimulus and the occurrence of a subsequent response
stimulus control
is a stimulus in the presence of which an operant response will be reinforced (will pay off)
discriminative stimulus
is a stimulus in the presence of which an operant response will not be reinforced (will not pay off)
extinction stimulus
refers to the procedure of reinforcing a response in the presence of an SD and extinguishing that response in the presence of an S∆
Operant stimulus discrimination training
a strong correlation between the occurrence of a particular stimulus and a particular response
good stimulus control
a response occurs to an SD, not to an S∆.
stimulus discrimination
refers to the procedure of reinforcing a response in the presence of a stimulus or situation and the efect of the response becoming more probable not only in the presence of that stimulus or situation, but also in the presence of another stimulus or situation.
Operant stimulus generalization
a set of stimuli, all of which have one or more physical characteristics in common
common-element stimulus class
a set of completely dissimilar stimuli—i.e., have no common stimulus element—which an individual has learned to group or match together or respond to in the same way
stimulus equivalence class
Behavior that develops because of its imme-
diate consequences through trial and error
contingency-shaped behavior.
from a behavioral perspective describes a situation in which a behavior will lead to a consequence. hus, a rule describes a three-term contingency of reinforcement. Rule-governed behavior is behavior that is controll
rule
behavior that is controlled by the statement of a rule
