Chapter 7 Flashcards
1
Q
Differential Reinforcement of Alternative Behavior
A
- stopping reinforcement for an inappropriate response
- while shifting that reinforcement to an appropriate response
2
Q
Task Analysis
A
- An analysis of complex behavior
- and sequence of behavior
- into their component response
3
Q
Process VS Product
A
- sometimes you need to
- make reinforcers and feedback contingent on
- the component responses of the process,
- not just the product
4
Q
Response topography
A
- The sequence
- form
- or location
- of components of a response
- relative to the rest of the body
5
Q
Latency
A
- the time between
- the signal or opportunity for a response
- and the beginning of that response
6
Q
Duration
A
- the time from
- the beginning
- to the end
- of a response
7
Q
Response dimensions
A
- the physical properties of a response
8
Q
Response class
A
- a set of responses that either
- a. Are similar on at least one response dimension, or
- b. Share the effects of reinforcement and punishment, or
- c. Serve the same function ( produce the same outcome).
9
Q
The differential-reinforcement procedure
A
- reinforcing one set of responses
- and not reinforcing another set of responses
10
Q
The differential-punishment procedure
A
- punishing one set of responses
- and not punishing another set of responses
11
Q
Single subject research design
A
- the entire experiment is conducted with a single subject
- it may be replicated with several other subjects
12
Q
Group research design
A
- the experiment is conducted with at least two groups of subjects
- and the data are usually presented in terms of the mean (average)
- of performance of all subjects
- combined in each group
13
Q
Experimental group
A
- a group of subjects
- exposes to the presumed crucial value of the independent variable
14
Q
Control group
A
- a group of subjects
- not exposed to the presumed crucial value of the independent variable
