Ch12. Vocab Flashcards
Traditional Performance Management Procedure
Provide a rule describing the natural contingency and
use motivating operations
and antecedents
to affect a direct-acting, inferred theoretical contingency based on the natural contingency
The Noble Organization
The organization that works for the well-being of humanity.
The Noble Goal of Behavior Analysis
To save the world with behavior analysis
The Mythical Cause of Poor Self-Management (False Principle)
Poor self-management occurs
because immediate outcomes control our behavior
better than delayed outcomes do.
Delayed Reinforcement and Punishment
Delivery of a Reinforcer or aversive condition
between one and sixty seconds after the response.
Delayed Delivery of a Reinforcer or Aversive Condition
Delivery of a reinforcer or aversive condition
more than sixty seconds after the response.
Punishment Contingency
The response-contingent
presentation of an aversive condition
resulting in a decreased frequency of that response.
Penalty Contingency
The response-contingent
removal of a reinforcer
resulting in a decreased frequency of that response.
Avoidance Contingency
The response-contingent
prevention of an aversive condition
resulting in an increased frequency of that response.
Avoidance-of-Loss Contingency
The response-contingent
prevention of loss of a reinforcer
resulting in an increased frequency of that response.
Punishment by Prevention of Removal Contingeny
The response-contingent
prevention of a removal of an aversive condition
resulting in a decreased frequency of that response.
Punishment by Prevention of a Reinforcer Contingency
The response-contingent
prevention of a reinforcer
resulting in a decreased frequency of that response.
Rule
A description of a behavioral contingency.
Rule Control
The statement of a rule
controls the response
described in that rule.
The Performance Management Model of Cultural Change
To manage and change the behavior
of the members of a culture,
you must manage and change the behavior
of all levels within that culture.
Victim Blaming
Saying the victim of the problem is the cause of the problem.
Natural Contingency
A contingency that occurs in nature
without being designed by a performance manager
to control behavior.
Immediate Reinforcement and Punishment
Delivery of a reinforcer or aversive condition
no more than one second after the response.
Front End Analysis
A determination of instructional objectives
based on the performance of experts
where the learned repertoire is to be used.
Reinforcement Contingency
The response-contingent
presentation of a reinforcer
resulting in an increased frequency of that response.
Escape Contingency
The response-contingent
removal of an aversive condition
resulting in an increased frequency of that response.
Two Crucial Process Measures
ENGAGEMENT- amount or percentage of time on task.
SAFETY- freedom from danger or risks.
Theoretical Contingency
An inferred,
direct-acting contingency
that explains the effectiveness
of the indirect-acting performance-management contingency.
Performance Management
The addition,
removal,
or changing of a behavioral contingency
with the intent to change or maintain performance.
Contingency Control
Direct control of behavior by a contingency,
without the involvement of rules.
The Real Cause of Poor Self-Management (True Principle)
Poor self-management results from
poor control by rules describing outcomes
that are either too small (though often of cumulative significance)
or too improvable.
The delay isn’t crucial.
The Four Main Outcome Measures
Quantity
Quality
Timeliness
Cost
Rules that are Easy to Follow
Describe contingencies with outcomes that are
both sizable
and probable.
The delay isn’t crucial.
Performance Contract (Behavioral Contract or Contingency Contract)
A written rule statement describing
the desired or undesired behavior,
the occasion when that behavior should or should not occur,
and the added outcome for that behavior.
Cultural Change Model
Client Supervisor Administrator Legislator Public Lobby (special interest) group
Rules that are Hard to Follow
Describe contingencies with outcomes that are
either too small (though often of cumulative significance)
or too improvable.
The delay isn’t crucial.
Performance Management Contingency
A contingency that does not occur in nature
and is designed by a performance manager
to control behavior.
