27
Q

shaping

A

the development of a new behavior by the reinforcement of successive approximations of that behavior and the extinction of earlier approximations of that behavior until the new behavior occurs

28
Q

target behavior

A

the final desired behavior

29
Q

starting behavior

A

initial behavior that approximates the target behavior

30
Q

behavioral chain/stimulus-response chain

A

a consistent sequence of stimuli and responses that occur closely to each other in time and which the last response is typically followed by reinforcement

31
Q

total-task presentation

A

an individual attempts al of the steps from the beginning to the end of the chain on each trial and continues with total task trials until that person learns the chain

32
Q

backward chaining

A

the last step is taught first, then the next to last step, is taught and linked to the last step then the third from last step and so on.

33
Q

forward chaining

A

opposite of backwards chaining

34
Q

task analysis

A

the process of breaking down a task into smaller steps or component responses to facilitate training

35
Q

adventitious chain

A

a behavioral chain that has some components that are functional in producing the reinforcer and at least one component that is not

36
Q

punisher

A

a stimulus whose presentation immediately after a behavior causes that behavior to decrease in frequency

37
Q

principle of punishment

A

if in a given situation someone does something that is immediately followed by a punisher then that person is less likely to do the same thing again when she or he next encounters a similar situation

38
Q

pain-inducing punisher

A

a “physical punisher” or a stimulus immediately following a behavior that activates pain receptors or other sense receptors that typically evoke feelings of discomfort

39
Q

reprimand

A

a strong negative verbal stimulus immediately contingent on behavior

40
Q

exclusionary timeout

A

removing an individual briefly from a reinforcing situation immediately following a behavior

41
Q

nonexclusionary timeout

A

introducing into the situation, immediately following a behavior, a stimulus associated with less reinforcement

42
Q

response cost

A

the removal of a specified amount of a reinforcer immediately following a behavior

43
Q

direct-acting effect

A

the decreased frequency of a response because of its immediate punishing consequences

44
Q

indirect-acting effect

A

the weakening of a response that is followed by a punisher even though the punisher is delayed

45
Q

escape conditioning (negative reinforcement)

A

the removal of certain stimuli immediately after the occurrence of a behavior will increase the likelihood of that behavior

46
Q

aversive stimuli

A

stimuli that, when removed, decreases the occurrence of a specific behavior

47
Q

avoidance conditioning

A

a contingency in which a behavior presents an aversive stimulus from occurring thereby resulting in an increase in the frequency of that behavior.

48
Q

warning stimulus

A

a stimulus that signals forthcoming aversive stimulus

49
Q

operant conditioning

A

the process of strengthening a behavior by reinforcing it or weakening it by punishing it

50
Q

operant behaviors

A

behaviors that operate on the environment to generate consequences and are in turn controlled by those consequences

51
Q

respondent behaviors

A

behaviors elicited by prior stimuli and are not affected by their consequences

52
Q

unconditioned reflex

A

a stimulus-response relationship in which a stimulus automatically elicits a response apart from any prior learning

53
Q

unconditioned stimulus

A

a stimulus that elicits a response without prior learning or conditioning

54
Q

unconditioned response

A

a response elicited by an unconditioned stimulus

55
Q

respondent conditioning

A

if a stimulus that elicits a UR then the previously neutral stimulus will also tend to elicit that response in the future

56
Q

conditioned reflex

A

a stimulus-response relationship in which a stimulus elicits a response because of prior respondent conditioning

57
Q

conditioned stimulus

A

a stimulus that elicits a response because that stimulus has been paired with another stimulus that elicits that response

58
Q

conditioned response

A

a response elicited by a conditioned stimulus

59
Q

higher-order conditioning

A

the procedure in which a neutral stimulus becomes a conditioned stimulus by being paired with another conditioned stimulus instead of with an unconditioned stimulus

60
Q

respondent extinction

A

the procedure of presenting a CS while withholding the US with the result that the CS gradually loses its capability of eliciting the CR

61
Q

counterconditioning

A

a new response that is incompatible with the conditioned response is conditioned to the conditioned stimulus at the same time that the former conditioned response is being extinguish.

62
Q

operant responses

A

voluntary

63
Q

respondent responses

A

involuntary

64
Q

operant reinforcement

A

following a response

65
Q

respondent reinforcement

A

before a response

66
Q

operant extinction

A

withholding a reinforcer following a preciously reinforced response
response decreases in frequency

67
Q

respondent extinction

A

the presentation of a CS without further pairing with the US

CS loses the capability of eliciting the CR
