Q

fading

25
within-stimulus prompt
an alteration of the SD or the SΔ to make their characteristics more noticeable and therefore easier to discriminate
26
extra-stimulus prompt
something that is added to the environment to make a correct response more likely
27
shaping
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
target behavior
the final desired behavior
29
starting behavior
initial behavior that approximates the target behavior
30
behavioral chain/stimulus-response chain
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
total-task presentation
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
backward chaining
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
forward chaining
opposite of backwards chaining
34
task analysis
the process of breaking down a task into smaller steps or component responses to facilitate training
35
adventitious chain
a behavioral chain that has some components that are functional in producing the reinforcer and at least one component that is not
36
punisher
a stimulus whose presentation immediately after a behavior causes that behavior to decrease in frequency
37
principle of punishment
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
pain-inducing punisher
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
reprimand
a strong negative verbal stimulus immediately contingent on behavior
40
exclusionary timeout
removing an individual briefly from a reinforcing situation immediately following a behavior
41
nonexclusionary timeout
introducing into the situation, immediately following a behavior, a stimulus associated with less reinforcement
42
response cost
the removal of a specified amount of a reinforcer immediately following a behavior
43
direct-acting effect
the decreased frequency of a response because of its immediate punishing consequences
44
indirect-acting effect
the weakening of a response that is followed by a punisher even though the punisher is delayed
45
escape conditioning (negative reinforcement)
the removal of certain stimuli immediately after the occurrence of a behavior will increase the likelihood of that behavior
46
aversive stimuli
stimuli that, when removed, decreases the occurrence of a specific behavior
47
avoidance conditioning
a contingency in which a behavior presents an aversive stimulus from occurring thereby resulting in an increase in the frequency of that behavior.
48
warning stimulus
a stimulus that signals forthcoming aversive stimulus
49
operant conditioning
the process of strengthening a behavior by reinforcing it or weakening it by punishing it
50
operant behaviors
behaviors that operate on the environment to generate consequences and are in turn controlled by those consequences
51
respondent behaviors
behaviors elicited by prior stimuli and are not affected by their consequences
52
unconditioned reflex
a stimulus-response relationship in which a stimulus automatically elicits a response apart from any prior learning
53
unconditioned stimulus
a stimulus that elicits a response without prior learning or conditioning
54
unconditioned response
a response elicited by an unconditioned stimulus
55
respondent conditioning
if a stimulus that elicits a UR then the previously neutral stimulus will also tend to elicit that response in the future
56
conditioned reflex
a stimulus-response relationship in which a stimulus elicits a response because of prior respondent conditioning
57
conditioned stimulus
a stimulus that elicits a response because that stimulus has been paired with another stimulus that elicits that response
58
conditioned response
a response elicited by a conditioned stimulus
59
higher-order conditioning
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
respondent extinction
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
counterconditioning
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
operant responses
voluntary
63
respondent responses
involuntary
64
operant reinforcement
following a response
65
respondent reinforcement
before a response
66
operant extinction
withholding a reinforcer following a preciously reinforced response response decreases in frequency
67
respondent extinction
the presentation of a CS without further pairing with the US | CS loses the capability of eliciting the CR
