Involves the manipulation of consequences

Answer 24

Operant Conditioning

Question 25

Behavior elicited by an antecedent stimuli

Answer 25

Respondent Behaviors

Question 26

Involves the manipulation of antecedent stimuli

Answer 26

Respondent Conditioning

Question 27

The occurrence of a particular behavior is followed by an immediate consequence that results in the strengthening of a behavior.

Answer 27

Reinforcement

Question 28

The consequence that strengthens an operant behavior

Answer 28

Reinforcer

Question 29

The occurrence of a behavior is followed by the addition of a stimulus which results in the strengthening of the behavior

Answer 29

Positive reinforcement

Question 30

The occurrence of a behavior is followed by the removal of a stimulus which results in the strengthening of the behavior

Answer 30

Negative reinforcement

Question 31

object or an event that can be detected by one of the senses.

Answer 31

Stimuli

Question 32

An unpleasant stimuli

Answer 32

Aversive stimuli

Question 33

The time between the behavior and the reinforcing consequence.

Answer 33

Immediacy

Question 34

When the response produces the consequence and the consequence does not occur unless the the response occurs first.

Answer 34

Contingency

Question 35

Makes the reinforcer more potent

Answer 35

Establishing Operation

Question 36

Makes the reinforcer less potent

Answer 36

Abolishing Operation

Question 37

The other characteristic that is related to its power as a reinforcer

Answer 37

Magnitude

Question 38

When reinforcement is delivered after every single target behavior

Answer 38

Continuous reinforcement schedule

Question 39

When reinforcement is delivered after only some target behaviors

Answer 39

Intermittent reinforcement schedule

Question 40

Where a specific or fixed number of responses must occur before the reinforcer is delivered. Time is not recorded

Answer 40

Fixed Ratio

Question 41

Where the number of responses that occur varies each time, around an average number.

Answer 41

Variable Ratio

Question 42

When the reinforcer is delivered only after a fixed amount of time, disregards how many times a behavior occurs.

Answer 42

Fixed interval

Question 43

The reinforcer is delivered for the first response that occurs after an interval of time. The response is rewarded after an unpredictable amount of time has passed.

Answer 43

Variable Interval

Question 44

A behavior that has been previously been reinforced no longer results in the reinforcing consequences and, therefore, the behavior stops occurring in the future.

Answer 44

Extinction

Question 45

A particular behavior occurs. A consequence immediately follows the behavior. As a result, the behavior is less likely to occur again.

Answer 45

Punishment

Question 46

An aversive stimulus that makes a behavior less likely to occur.

Answer 46

Punisher

Question 47

Adding an aversive stimulus after a behavior to make the behavior less likely to occur
