exam 2 Flashcards
what aspects does reinforcement have an emphasis on?
emphasis on interactions bw environment and response
reinforcement
a stimulus change that is contingent on some aspect of a response that increases the future probability of the response
contingent
dependent on or conditioned by something else
is reinforcement static or plastic ?
plastic – events are dependent on the differnece between pre-change and post-change
what are aspects that reinforcement is contingent upon?
- occurrence of the target response
- nonoccurance of the target repsosne
- occurrence of the alternative response
does positive or negative reinforcement strengthen behavior ?
both, bitch
positive rein
stimulus presntation
negative rein
stimulus removal
escape
removal or reduction of ongoing stimulation
Avoidance
prevention of stimulation
example of?
taking a rain jacket when i know it’ll rain, preventing my hair from getting wet.
avoidance
Primary rein
Sr effects are not dependent on prior learning
example of?
when youre hungry, you seek out food
primary rein
Secondary rein
rein Sr whose effects are acquired through pairing w other rein
money is an example of a
secondary rein
mediated
rein is delivered by a person
automatic
rein is directly produced by a response
example of automatic rein
eating
physical characteristics of rein
social, material, activity
generalized
subs for other other rein; therefore, supports numerous behaviors
Premack peak:
access to a high-probability response serves as reinforcement for a low prob response
example of?
you do homework (low prob), and then you can go outside (high prob)
premack peak
Antecedent events
alters the effectiveness of given reinforcement and increases behavior that was produced from rein in the past (events prior to stim will impact resposne)
Deprivation
Typical antecedent for behavior maintained by positive rein
