Operant Conditioning Flashcards
Increasing a behavior by decreasing negative stimuli
Negative Reinforcement
Increasing a behavior by increasing stimuli
Positive Reinforcement
Decreasing a behavior by increasing an aversive stimuli
Positive Punishment
Decreasing a behavior by decreasing a positive stimuli
Negative Punishment
The fading of a reinforced behavior in periods of inactive reinforcing
Extinction
Negative reinforcement inducing behavior that involves termination of aversive stimuli
Avoidance
Reinforcement schedule involving reinforcement being provided following the first response after a specified time period
Fixed Interval
Reinforcement schedule involving reinforcement being provided following the first response after a variable time period
Variable Interval
Reinforcement schedule involving reinforcement after a set amount of responses to behavior
Fixed Ratio
Reinforcement scheduling involving reinforcement after a variable amount of responses to behavior
Variable Ratio
Describe the response, acquisition, and extinction rate respectively of the CRF schedule:
High, Fastest, Highest
Describe the response, acquisition, and extinction rate respectively of the FR schedule:
High, Fast, Moderate
Describe the response, acquisition, and extinction rate respectively of the VR schedule:
High, Medium, Lowest
Describe the response, acquisition, and extinction rate respectively of the FI schedule:
Low, sub-Medium, sub-High
Describe the response, acquisition, and extinction rate respectively of the FIR schedule:
Moderate, Slow, Low
Reinforcement scheduling involving reinforcement after every response
