las que no me se Flashcards
A set of stimuli that share a common relationship. evoke the same operant behavior, or elicit the same respondent behavior.
antecedent stimulus class
A contingency in which an antecedent stimulus and the consequence for the behavior is presented by another person
socially mediated contingencies
Any stimulus made functional for the target behavior in the instructional setting that later prompts or aids the learner in performing the target behavior in a generalization setting.
CONTRIVED MEDIATING STIMULUS
A procedure for transferring stimulus control for contrived response prompts to naturally existing stimuli by increasing the duration of a delay from the initial SF to response prompts
Constant time delay
the condition in which two or more related stimuli elicit the same response. Stimuli meet the mathematical definition of equivalence if they can be shown to exhibit reflexivity, symmetry, and transitivity.
Stimulus equivalence
A reduction in the rate of a target behavior and an increase in emotional behavior resulting from an increase in the ratio of behavior to reinforcement.
ratio strain
is a rule stating which instances of behavior, if any, will be reinforced. … Combinations of these four descriptors yield four kinds of partial reinforcement schedules: fixed-ratio, fixed-interval, variable-ratio and variable-interval.
schedule of reinforcement
refers to the amount of responding by an individual after reinforcement has been removed.
Resistance to extinction
a graph marking the similarity or difference between two stimuli versus the similarity or difference in their elicited responses. In general, the more similar two stimuli, the more similar the responses
Stimulus generalization Gradient
a schedule of reinforcement in which reinforcement is contingent on a response being different in some specified way from the previous response or a specified number of previous responses
Lag schedule
Any contingency of reinforcement (or punishment) designed and implemented by a behavior analyst or practitioner to achieve the acquisition, maintenance, and/or generalization of a targeted behavior change.
contrived contingency
A situation in which the frequency, latency, duration, or amplitude of a behavior is altered by the presence or absence of an antecedent stimulus.
Stimulus control
Any contingency of reinforcement (or punishment) that operates independent of the behavior analyst’s or practitioner’s efforts; includes socially mediated contingencies contrived by other people and already in effect
Natural existing contingency
A contingency in which responses at any time during an interval prior to the scheduled onset of an aversive stimulus delays the presentation of the aversive stimulus
Free Operant Avoidance
A condition in which the range of discriminative stimuli, or stimulus features controlling behavior, is extremely limited; often interferes with learning.
overselective stimulus control
Performance in a match-to-sample procedure in which discrimination between the comparison stimuli is conditional on, or depends on, the sample stimulus present on each trial.
conditional discrimination
a match-to-sample procedure in which not only is the correct comparison choice conditional on the sample stimulus, but the type of consequence delivered is too
class-specific reinforcement
responding indicating a relation (same, opposite, different, better, etc.) between 2 or more stimuli that emerges as an indirect function of related instruction or experience
derived stimulus relations
stimulus relations that are not taught directly but emerge as an indirect function of related instruction or experience
emergent stimulus relations
an arrangement in which types of stimulus equivalence probes are introduced sequentially, beginning with symmetry, followed by transivity (if relevant), and then combined tests for equivalence
simple-to-complex testing protocol
dimensions of procedural arrangements when teaching multiple conditional discriminations
training structure
The allocation of responses to choices available on concurrent schedules of reinforcement; rates of responding are distributed in proportions that match the rates of reinforcement for each choice alternative
Matching Law
A schedule that systematically thins each successive reinforcement opportunity independent of the individual’s behavior
Progressive Schedule
Changing a contingency of reinforcement by gradually increasing the response ratio or the extent of the time interval; results in a lower rate of reinforcement per responses and/or time
Schedule thinning
