Q

Skip scratches his arm until it bleeds. His treatment team puts a soft pad on his arm to protect his skin. Now he scratches the pad, w/o injuring himself. Is this an example of extinction?

A

Yes, it’s called sensory extinction

prevents the feeling of the scratching that was maintaining the behavior

A

Q

Punishment and the RBT (4)

A
  • punishment ONLY decreases behavior, that is its primary effect
  • punishment has side effects
  • must be used with caution
  • requires significant prior approval and close oversight

22
Q

points to remember with antecedents (2)

A
  • the behaver experiences OTHER ppls behavior as stimuli

- thus a response done by someone else can be an antecedent

26
Q

antecedents and effects (2)

A
  • antecedents have an immediate effect

- make a behavior more (or less) likely to occur now

27
Q

consequences and effects (2)

A
  • have a delayed effect

- they make the behavior more or less likely to occur in the future

28
Q

stimulus control

A

when an antecedent reliably exerts control over a response

29
Q

stimulus control and antecedents

A

antecedent stimulus develops this effect when a target response is reinforced more often when that stimulus is present than when it is NOT present

30
Q

discriminative stimulus

A

a specific stimulus, which exerts stimulus control over a particular behavior

31
Q

symbol that represents discriminative stimulus

A

S^D

32
Q

S^D signals

A

the availability of reinforcement

-which is ALWAYS due to a PAST HISTORY of delivery of reinforcement for that behavior in the presence of the S^D

33
Q

S^D’s effect on responding

A

evokes responding

34
Q

SD’s are…(3)

A
  • antecedents
  • signal availability of a consequence
  • make behavior more likely now
35
Q

motivating operation

A

an environmental event/condition that alters the value of some stimulus as a consequence

36
Q

2 types of motivating operations

A

establishing operations

abolishing operations

37
Q

an Establishing Operation (EO) establishes…(2)

A
  • the value of a consequence

- the EO increases the effectiveness of that consequence

38
Q

EO’s relation to reinforcement

A

makes reinforcement more effective

39
Q

an Abolishing Operation (AO) abolishes…(2)

A
  • abolishes the value of a consequence \

- AO decreases the effectiveness of that consequence

40
Q

AO’s relation to reinforcement

A

makes reinforcement less effective

41
Q

MOs effect on behavior (2)

A

more likely to happen now (evoke

less likely to happen now (abate)

42
Q

EO and behavior (3)

A
  • has an immediate effect
  • is a temporary effect (only lasts while the EO is in play)
    • when EO goes away, the value of the reinforcer goes away and behavior is no longer evoked
43
Q

MO’s, behaviors and momentary frequencys (2)

A
  • (evokes)increases momentary frequency

- abates (decreases the momentary frequency)

44
Q

discriminative stimuli signal…

A

signals the availability of consequences due to past history

45
Q

MO’s either make…(2)

A

the consequence either more or less valuable

-changes the value of consequences

46
Q

the antecedent condition that is most likely to evoke behavior occuring is…

A

when the reinforcer is available (S^D present) and when the reinforcer is valuable (EO)

47
Q

antecedents and effect

A
  • can make behavior more likely to occur immediately - now (evoke)
  • can make bheavior less likely to occur immediately - now (abate)
48
Q

two types of antecedents

A
  • discriminative stimuli

- motivating operations

49
Q

to suppress

A

abate

50
Q

an environmental event/condition that abolishes the value of a consequence

A

abolishing operation

51
Q

general term in ABA for a stimulus or condition that is prleasant or preferred

A

appetitive

52
Q

if this type of stimulus or stimulus conditions follows a response it may strengthen that response (function as reinforcement)

A

appetitive

53
Q

if this type of stimulus or stimulus condition is removed following a response it may weaken that response (function as punishment)

A

appetitive

54
Q

due to a past history of reinforcement in its presence, it ‘signals’ the availability of reinforcement for a specific response

A

discriminative stimulus

55
Q

an environmental event/conditio that establishes the value of a consequence

A

establishng operation

56
Q

to bring forth

A

evoke

57
Q

the process by which a previously reinforced behavior is weakened by withholding reinforcement

A

extinction

58
Q

an environmental event/condition that alters the value of some stimulus as a consequence

A

motivating operations

59
Q

removal of a stimulus following a response that results in a weakening (decreased likelihood) of that response in the future)

A

negative punishment

60
Q

an appetitive (or enjoyable) situation/condition

A

time-in

61
Q

a consequence in which a specific stimulus is presented (added) or magnified (increased) and results in a decreased likelihood of that response in the future

A

positive punishment

62
Q

An Sdelta is correlated with

A

NO reinforcement

63
Q

all of the following are true statements of _____

1) may make behavior more or less likely to occur in the present
2) alter the value of stimuli

A

Motivating Operations (MO’s)
