Deck 2 Flashcards
An unconditioned reinforcer is a reinforcing stimulus that has acquired its properties as a function of species ____
History
A generalized conditioned reinforcer does not depend on a(n) ____ ______ for its effectiveness
Establishing operation
Nia bangs her hands at similar rates in all conditions. This is possible _____ reinforcement.
Automatic
Praise that has been paired with access to a known reinforcer and now is a reinforcer is a(n) ____ _____
Conditioned Reinforcer
In automatic reinforcement, _______ is inherent in the response itself
Reinforcement
A conditioned reinforcer is a neutral stimulus turned reinforcer due to pairing with other ____
Reinforcers
A teacher who gives candy for in seat behavior is out, the substitute has no candy. The teacher is a(n) ____ _____
Discriminative stimulus
A discriminative stimulus signals that reinforcement is ___ for a specific behavioral response
Available
A conditioned reinforcer is an event or stimulus that acquires its reinforcing function over the ____ of the organism
Lifetime
Reinforcement that occurs independent of social mediation of others
Automatic reinforcement
Deprivation or satiation can change ____ increasing or decreasing the effectiveness of known reinforcers
MOs ( motivating operations)
When a discriminative stimulus reliably occasions a response, this is an example of ____ _____
Stimulus control
Stimulus control describes a situation in which a behavior is altered by the presence or _____ of an antecedent stimulus
Absence
Food and water are examples of unconditioned _____
Reinforcers
A stimulus turned reinforcer due to pairing with other reinforcers
Conditioned reinforcer
Hearing “yay!” Is an example of a(n) ____ _____ reinforcer for some people
Generalized conditioned
Nia gets access to a preferred item if her rate of hand raising is above two per period. This is a(n) _____ procedure.
DRH ( differential reinforcement of high rates)
Stimulus control is the discriminative control of ____
Behavior
Nia’s hand raising behavior is much more frequent in the presence of the math teacher who praises her. Hand raising is under ____ _____
Stimulus control
Signals availability of reinforcement for a specific response
Discriminative stimulus
Motivating operations have a(n) ___ effect and a behavior altering effect
Value- altering
Motivating operations can change whether something functions as reinforcement while a discriminative stimulus is a signal that ____ is available
Reinforcement
A conditioned reinforcer that has been paired with many other reinforcers over time
Generalized conditioned reinforcer
Automatic reinforcement is usually produced automatically by the _____
Response
A(n) ____ ____ is a reinforcer without any pairing with other reinforcers
Unconditioned reinforcer
The ____ reinforcers a generalized conditioned reinforcer has been paired with, the greater the likelihood it will be effective
More
An unconditioned reinforcer’s effectiveness ____ ____ depend on its contingent relation to another reinforcer
Does not
Motivating operations include both establishing operations and ____ operations
Abolishing
A change in operant behavior that occurs when an SD or S-delta is presented
Stimulus control
In a DRH, reinforcement is contingent on the number of responses in a period of time___ a criterion
Exceeding
Alters effectiveness of a stimulus, object, or event as a reinforcer and alters the frequency of all associated behavior
