Q

What was Edward Thorndykes’s theory?

A

“law of effects”

21
Q

Noxious Stimulus/ Adersive stimulus

A

escape or avoid

22
Q

negative reinforcer

A

internal state where the organism feels releif from the stimulus

23
Q

negative reinforcement

A

increasing escape

24
Q

punishment

A

perception of a noxious stimulous constingent on a response

25
Q

Shaping

A
  1. choose target behavior that occurs too infrequently to reinforce
  2. choose behaviors that are close approximations to targeted behavior
  3. selectively reinforce closer and closer approximation of the target
  4. reinforce with a CRF (continuous rate of reinforcement) scheduled
26
Q

extinction

A

“not a reduction of behavior”

Withdrawl of a behavior

27
Q

explain and extinction burst

A

withdrawl behavior
ignore bad bahavior
behavior gets worse
behavior gets better

28
Q

what is the chartting factor?

A

someome keeps track/ record of what they are doing. Challenge is that they know they need to record, can influence results

29
Q

what is close temperal continuity?

A

reienforce as quickly/ as soon as possible

30
Q

what is a cummulative record?

A

number of behaviors, number of behaviors that occur over time

31
Q

what are the regular schedules of reinforcement?

A

continuous rate of reinforcement, fixed ratio, variable ratio,fixed interval, superstitious schedule, fixed interval with limited hold, variable interval schedule, variable interval limitied hold, fixed duration,variable duration, extinction

32
Q

define resistance to extinction

A

how strong the behavior is in the absence of the reinfircer

33
Q

define rate of response

A

how quick and how often

34
Q

CRF

A

continuous rate of rienforcement
FR=1
high rate, not resistant to extinction

35
Q

Fixed ratio

A

number of behaviors required in order to get a rienforcer stays the same. very predictable, higher ratio=lower rate, ratio too high=extinction could occur, not resistant to extinction

36
Q

VR

A

variable ratio, based of an average of time, no post reinforcer pause, not predictable, higher ratio=lower rate, very resistant to extinction

37
Q

Fixed Interval

A

period of time when a behavior is not followed by a reinforcer. scalloping effect

38
Q

Superstitious schedule

A

interval schedule where a correct response is not required

39
Q

FI(LH)

A

fixed interval with a limited hold; fixed interval but only a limited amount of time for the correct response to occur

40
Q

variable interval schedule

A

behavior gets response after interval, not predicatable, steady behavior, higher interval=lower rate, very resistant to extinction

41
Q

VI(LH)

A

variable interval limited hold. limited time allowed for reienforcer to occur after interval

42
Q

FD

A

fixed duration, set length of time in which the behavior must continuously occur, not very resistant to extinction.

43
Q

VD

A

variable duration, reinforced over an average amount of time

44
Q

extinction

A

not a reaction of behavior, withdrawl of a reinforcer. when reinforcement stops, behavior decreases

45
Q

What are the differental schedules of reinforcement

A

DRL, DR0, DRo, DRA,DRI, DRIncrease

46
Q

DRL

A

differental rate of reinforcement at low rates for behavior, decrease frequency of reineforcer

47
Q

DR0

A

differential rate of zero

48
Q

DRo

A

differential rate of other behavior

49
Q

DRA

A

differential rate of alternative behavior

increase another behavior to decrease the other behavior

50
Q

DRI

A

differential reinforcement of incompatible behavior, reinforcement of a behavior that eliminates or significantly reduces the target behavior

51
Q

DRIncrease

A

differential response of increase behavior if a DRL response.
