Q

Premack Principle

A

If the opportunity to engage in a preferred or high probability behavior is made contingent on engaging in a less preferred behavior the future duration or frequency of the less preferred behavior will increase

Q

Unconditioned Punisher

21
Q

Positive Punishment

A

An environmental change in which a stimulus is added (presented) or magnified following a response that decreases the future frequency of that response

22
Q

Negative Punishment

A

An environmental change in which a stimulus is subtracted (withdrawn, removed) or attenuated following a response, which decrease the future frequency of that behavior

23
Q

Time-out from positive reinforcement

A

A procedure based on the principle of negative punishment; the orgranism cannot access (generally specified) reinforcers

24
Q

Recovery from Punishment

A

The process by which a previously punished behavior is strengthened by withholding punishment

25
Q

Stimulus control

A

A group of stimuli in which the frequency, latency, duration, or amplitude of a behavior is altered by the presence or absence of an antecedent stimulus

26
Q

Uncondtioned motivating operations

A

A motivating operation whose value altering effect does not depend on learning history

27
Q

Condtioned motivating operations

A

A motivating operation whose value altering effect depends on a learning history

28
Q

Discriminative stimulus

A

An antecedent stimulus which evokes or abates a specific behavior, due to a past history of differential availability of reinforcement or punishment for that behavior, dependent on their presence versus their absence

29
Q

Motivating operation

A

An environmental variable that alters the reinforcing or punishing effectiveness of some stimulus, object, or event; and alters the current frequency of all behavior that has been reinforced or punished by that stimulus, object, or event

30
Q

Operant Conditioning

A

The basic process by which operant learning occurs

31
Q

Evoke

A

Behavior is likely to occur now, under the current condtions

32
Q

Abate

A

Behavior is NOT likely to occur under the current condtions

33
Q

Differential Reinforcement

A

Reinforcing only those responses within response class that meet a specific criterion along some dimensions and placing all other responses in the class on extinction

34
Q

Differentiation

A

When differential reinforcement consists of reinforcing some responses and not reinforcing other responses

35
Q

Discrimination

A

When differential reinforcement consists of reinforcing a response when certain stimuli are present and not reinforcing the same response when those stimuli are not present

36
Q

Discriminative Control

A

The tendency of behavior to occur more frequently in the presence of a particular stimulus because that behavior has been reinforced only or mostly in the presence of that stimulus

37
Q

Discriminated Operant

A

A operant class that is established through the process of differential reinforcement with respect to the presence or absence of antecedent stimuli

38
Q

SD for SR

A

Discriminative stimulus for reinforcement; Evokes behavior because in the past that behavior has been reinforced in its presence

39
Q

S^ for SR

A

Discriminative stimulus for extinction; Abates behavior because in the past that behavior has NOT been reinforced in its presence

40
Q

SDP for SP

A

Discriminative stimulus for punishment; Abates behavior because in the past that behavior has been punished in its presence

41
Q

S^P for SP

A

Discriminative stimulus for withholding punishment; Evokes behavior because in the past that behavior has NOT been punished in its presence

42
Q

SDR+

A

Discriminative Stimulus for Positive Reinforcement

43
Q

SDR-

A

Discriminative Stimulus for Negative Reinforcement

44
Q

S^R+

A

Discriminative Stimulus for Extinction of Behavior Maintained by Positive Reinforcement

45
Q

S^R-

A

Discriminative Stimulus for Extinction of Behavior Maintained by Negative Reinforcement

46
Q

SDP+

A

Discriminative Stimulus for Positive Punishment

47
Q

SDP-

A

Discriminative Stimulus for Negative Punishment

48
Q

S^P+

A

Discriminative Stimulus for Unavailability of Positive Punishment

49
Q

S^P-

A

Discriminative Stimulus for Unavailability of Negative Punishment

50
Q

Conditional Discrimination

A

A discrimination in which reinforcing a response is contingent (conditional) on another stimulus

51
Q

Stimulus Generalization

A

The tendency of a learned response to occur in the presence of stimuli which were not present during training but which either have some similar physical properties to the SD or have been associated with the SD
