A

when a behaviors is influenced by its consequences regardless of whether or not you are aware of a relationship between your behavior and the consequence.

behavior

A

is everything a living organism can think, say, do, and feel. this includes movements in the body that cannot be seen by others.

Q

deprivation

A

Withholding a reinforcer or stimulus in order to make it more valuable. creates an establishing motivating operation (increases the value) and has an evocative (behavior altering) effect on behavior.

Q

negative reinforcement

A

consequence following a behavior that involves removing someone or one’s self from an aversive situation. By removing an aversive, it increases the future frequency of behavior. The two types of negative reinforcement are escape and avoidance

Q

A

A neutral stimulus does not affect behavior reliably in a particular context until it has been paired.

21
Q

operant conditioning

A

consequences shape our behavior through reinforcement and punishment.

22
Q

phylogeny

A

The evolution of a genetically acquired by the species during the course of its evolution as a means for survival

23
Q

positive punishment

A

adding something to the environment that would decrease the likely hood of the behavior over time

24
Q

positive reinforcement

A

adding something to the environment that would increase the likely hood of the behavior over time

25
Q

principle of behavior

A

Lawful relations between behavior and the variables that control it, may help to explain prior and present performance and to predict future behavior

26
Q

punishment

A

This is a consequence following a response that immediately proceeds it. future frequency of the behavior decreases or is eliminated.

27
Q

reflex

A

an unconditioned stimulus that creates a unconditioned response

28
Q

reinforcement

A

Any consequence that increases the probability of a specific behavior occurring again in the future.

29
Q

reinforcer

A

Reinforcers are stimuli (or stimulus changes) that, when delivered as a consequence for a specific response, have the ability to increase the likelihood of the Behavior happening again

30
Q

repertoire

A

(1) all the behavior a person can do, (2) all the stuff a person knows relevant to a specific thing.

31
Q

respondent behavior

A

an action that an organism produces in response to the antecedent stimuli in the environment alone and is typically essential for the organism’s survival.

32
Q

respondent conditioning

A

pairing a stimulus that naturally elicits a reflexive response with other stimuli repeatedly until the previously neutral (other) stimuli can elicit the reflexive response independently. (drooling at he sound of a bell)

33
Q

respondent extinction

A

after respondent conditioning has been established, if the conditioned stimulus is presented without the unconditioned stimulus, then eventually the the conditioned response no longer happen

34
Q

response

A

a single instance of a behavior

35
Q

response class

A

a group of responses with the same function, event if they look different (different topography)

36
Q

rule-governed behavior

A

When you do not engage in a certain behavior not because you have come into contact with the contingencies before, but because of a rule you have been told about what could happen if you do engage in that behavior.

37
Q

socially mediated contingency

A

requires interaction with another person to access the reinforcer

38
Q

stimulus

A

a change in the receptor cells that can be perceived

39
Q

stimulus class

A

a group of stimuli that share common elements (peonies, sunflower, roses are all flowers)

40
Q

stimulus control

A

occurs when a learned behavior is emitted in the presence of certain appropriate antecedent stimuli and is not emitted when these stimuli are missing or other inappropriate stimuli are present.

41
Q

stimulus-stimulus pairing

A

The process of presenting two stimuli at the same time repeatedly until either stimulus elicits the response regardless of whether both or one are present.

42
Q

three-term contingency

A

the antecedent, behavior, and the consequence. This is also known as the S-R-S (Stimulus-Response-Stimulus).

43
Q

unconditioned punisher

A

a consequnece to a behavior that decrease the behavior occuring again in the future

44
Q

unconditioned reinforcer

A

a consequnece to a behavior that increases the behavior occuring again in the future

45
Q

unconditioned stimulus

A

A stimulus that produces the unconditioned response without previous pairing with another stimulus

46
Q

automatic reinforcement

A

a person’s behavior creates a favorable outcome without the involvement of another person

47
Q

behavior change tactic

A

a strategy that helps an individual change their behavior based on ABA principles

48
Q

conditioned reflex

A

learned through classical Conditioning, a learned stimulus elects a conditional response

49
Q

contingent

A

the relationship between two events

50
Q

Joint control

A

When two discriminative stimuli combine to evoke a common response class

51
Q

motivating operation

A

‘motivations’ behind a certain behavior; encourage or discourage certain behaviors.

52
Q

selectionism

A

behavior are are selected by consequence
