Chapter 12 Flashcards
Antecedent stimulus
an observable stimulus that is present before the behavior occurs
Discriminated operant behavior
operant behavior that is systematically influenced by antecedent stimuli
Discriminative stimulus (S^D)
an antecedent stimulus that can evoke a specific operant response because the individual has learned that when the S^D is present, that response will be reinforced
SΔ
an antecedent stimulus that decreases a specific operant response because the individual has learned that when the SΔ is present, that response will not be reinforced (extinction).
SDp
an antecedent stimulus that decreases a specific operant response because the individual has learned that when the SDp is present, that response will be punished
the functional relation between antecedent, behavior, and consequence
three-term contingency
A-B-C contingency
A(n) ________________________ stimulus is an observable stimulus that is present before the behavior occurs.
Antecedent
A(n) ________________________ is an observable stimulus change that happens after behavior occurs
Consequence
The antecedent stimulus that controls (elicits) phylogenetic behavior is the ________________________ stimulus.
Unconditioned stimulus (US)
After Pavlovian learning is complete, the antecedent stimulus that controls (evokes) the conditioned response is the ________________________ stimulus.
Conditioned stimulus (CS)
Operant behavior that is systematically influenced (controlled) by antecedent stimuli is referred to as ________________________ operant behavior.
Discriminated
A(n) ________________________ is an antecedent stimulus that decreases a specific operant response because the individual has learned that when that stimulus is present, that response is likely to be punished.
SDp
A(n) ________________________ is an antecedent stimulus that evokes a specific operant response because the individual has learned that when this stimulus is present, that response is likely to be reinforced.
SD
A(n) ________________________ is an antecedent stimulus that decreases a specific operant response because the individual has learned that when this stimulus is present, that response will not be reinforced (extinction).
SΔ
The relation between antecedent, behavior, and consequence is referred to as the ____________-____________ contingency.
