operant

Question 1

operant conditioning

Answer 1

is a learning process in which the likelihood of a behaviou being repeated is determined by the consequences of that behaviour

Question 2

antecedent

Answer 2

stimulus

Question 3

consequqence

Answer 3

consequence to the behaviour

Question 4

behaviour

Answer 4

bheaviour that occurs in response to the antecedent

Question 5

postivie reinforcemt

Answer 5

a stimulus that strengthens or increases the frequency or likelihood
of a desired response by providing a satisfying consequence (reward).

Question 6

negative reinforcement

Answer 6

The removal or avoidance of an unpleasant stimulus. It increases the
likelihood of a response being repeated and thereby strengthening the response.

Question 7

negative punishment

Answer 7

Positive punishment: involves the presentation or introduction of a stimulus that decreases
the likelihood of a response occurring again (giving something).

Question 8

postivie punishment

Answer 8

involves the presentation or introduction of a stimulus that decreases
the likelihood of a response occurring again (giving something).

Question 9

reinforcement

Answer 9

occurs when a stimulus strengthen the likelihood of a response that it follows

Question 10

punishment

Answer 10

the delivery of an unpleasant consequence following a response or the removal of a pleasant consequence following a response

Question 11

punishment

Answer 11

the delivery of an unpleasant consequence following a response or the removal of a pleasant consequence following a response

Question 12

operant conditioning

Answer 12

is a learning process in which the likelihood of a behaviour being repeated is determined by the consequences of that behaviour

Question 13

response cost

Answer 13

described as involving any valued stimulus being removed whether it causes the behaviour or not

Question 14

appropriate

Answer 14

reinforcer, it must provide a pleasing or satisfying consequence
punisher, it must provide a consequence that is unpleasant and therefore likely to decrease the likelihood of the undesirable behaviour

Question 15

timing vs order of presentation

Answer 15

To use a reinforcer and punisher effectively it is essential that either be presented after a desired response, never before
Use of either reinforcement or punishment is most effective when given immediately after the response has occurred.
