MORE HARD STUFF (Part 2) Flashcards
A stimulus change that can increase the future frequency of behavior without prior pairing with any other form of reinforcement.
No learning history required.
Unconditioned Reinforcer/Reinforcement
A type of conditioned reinforcer that has been paired with many unconditioned and conditioned reinforcers.
Does not depend on MOs for its effectiveness and are likely to be reinforcing at any time.
Less susceptible to satiation.
Generalized Conditioned Reinforcer
AKA: UCR, Primary Reinforcer, Unlearned Reinforcer
Are products of phylogeny.
Example: Food, water, warmth
Unconditioned Reinforcer
When a previously neutral stimulus acquires the ability to function as a reinforcer through stimulus-stimulus pairing with one or more unconditioned or conditioned reinforcers.
Conditioned Reinforcer/Reinforcement
AKA: GCSR, Generalized Reinforcer
Example: Money, Token systems, Social attention and praise
Generalized Conditioned Reinforcer
AKA: CR, Secondary Reinforcer, Learned Reinforcer
Learning history required.
Are products of ontogeny.
Conditioned Reinforcer/Reinforcement
When a response is followed immediately by a stimulus that decreases the FUTURE frequency of similar responses.
AKA: Sd-, Sdp, Sp, Punishment-based Sd
Punishment
When punishment occurs only in some conditions and not in others.
Discriminative Effects of Punishment
Threats are not:
Punishment
Unpleasant stimulus
Aversive Stimulus
- Behavioral contrast
- Requires lots of supervision, time and resources
- Imitation by individuals of the punishing agent’s behavior.
- Escape and avoid from people implementing the procedure or from the setting un which procedure is implemented.
- Emotional and aggressive reactions may be produced in the client.
- Does not address the cause of the behavior.
People who are enacting the procedures may be negatively reinforced by their behavior. - Reinforcement should be recommended over punishment.
Possible unwanted effects of Punishment
A stimulus change that decreases the future frequency of the behavior that immediately precedes it.
Punisher (Sp)
Type 1 Punishment
Positive Punishment
A process that occurs when the addition of a stimulus immediately following a behavior results in a decrease in the FUTURE frequency of the behavior.
Positive Punishment
5 types of postive punishment interventions
Hint: ROSER
- Reprimands
- Overcorrection
- Shock/ Contingent Electrical Stimulation (ECT)
- Exercise/ Contingent Exercise
- Response Blocking
An individual is required to engage in effortful behavior that is directly related to the challenging behavior.
Restitutional and Postive Practice are two types of:
Overcorrection
An individual is required to perform a response not topographically related to the behavior.
Contingent Exercise
Repair environment to it’s original state before the behavior and make it a lot better on top of that.
Restitutional Overcorrection
Physically intervening as soon as the individual begins to emit the challenging behavior to “block” the completion of the response.
Response blocking
Replacement behavior. The individual is required to repeatedly perform a correct form of the behavior for a certain amount of time or a certain number of times. Educative.
Positive Practice Overcorrection
A process that occurs when a response is followed immediately by the removal of a stimulus ( or a decrease in the intensity of a stimulus) that decreases the future frequency of similar responses under similar conditions.
Negative Punishment
AKA: Type 2 Punishment; Penalty Principle; Penalty Contingency
Negative Punishment
