Q

FK-02 Selectionism: phylogenic, ontogenic, and cultural

A

Phylogenic: behavior acquired by the species throughout the course of their evolutionary history (reflexive behavior is elicited)
Ontogenic: behavior acquired due to an individual organism’s developmental history (operant behavior is emitted)
Cultural: Corresponding to the selection of behavior as it passes from one individual to another

Q

FK-08 Radical vs. Methodological behaviorism

A

Radical behaviorism: takes private events (e.g. Thoughts) that occur “within the skin” into account as explanations for behavior
Methodological: do not consider private events as behavior, rejects anything that is not observable as an explanation for behavior

Q

FK-20 Conditioned punishment

A

Punishment that depends on learning history (secondary punisher)

21
Q

FK-21 Schedules of reinforcement and punishment

A

Tell you how and when to reinforce or punish a behavior (Fixed interval, fixed ratio, variable interval, variable ratio)

22
Q

FK-22 Extinction

A

No longer reinforcing a previously reinforced behavior in order to decrease the frequency of behavior until it ceases to occur

23
Q

FK-23 Automatic reinforcement and punishment

A

Reinforcement or punishment that occurs independent of the social mediation of others

24
Q

FK-24 Stimulus control

A

Responding is modified by the presence or absence or a specific antecedent stimulus

25
Q

FK-25 Multiple functions of a single stimulus

A

A single stimulus that serves multiple functions

26
Q

FK-26 Unconditioned motivating operations

A

Motivating operation (MO) who’s value altering effects do not depend on learning history

27
Q

FK-27 Conditioned motivating operations

A

Motivating operation (MO) who’s value altering effects depend on learning history

28
Q

FK-28 Define transitive, reflexive, and surrogate conditioned motivating operations:

A

Transitive (CMO-T): stimulus that changes the effectiveness of something else as a reinforcer
Reflexive (CMO-R): stimulus that has been paired with a worsening or bettering of a condition
Surrogate (CMO-S): stimulus that is paired with another MO that has the same value-altering and behavior-altering effect as the MO it was paired with

29
Q

FK-29 Distinguish between a discriminative stimulus and a motivating operation

A

Discriminative stimulus: a stimulus in the presence of which a particular response will be reinforced
Motivating operation: environmental variables that
alter the effectiveness of some stimulus, object, or event as a reinforcer, and alter the current frequency of all behavior that has been reinforced by that stimulus, object, or event

30
Q

FK-30 Distinguish between motivating operations and reinforcement effects

A

Motivating operation: Increases the value of the reinforcer in that moment
Reinforcement effects: Deprivation or satiation changes the value of a specific reinforcer

31
Q

FK-31 Behavioral contingencies

A

Behavior must be emitted for a consequence to occur

32
Q

FK-32 Contiguity

A

When two or more events occur simultaneously or very close together

33
Q

FK-33 Functional relation

A

Specific change in one event that can be produced by manipulating another event

34
Q

FK-34 Conditional discriminations

A

A discrimination in which reinforcement of a response to a stimulus is conditional on the presence of one or more additional discriminative stimuli

35
Q

FK-35 Stimulus discrimination

A

Responses are reinforced in the presence of the SD and not reinforced in the presence of the S∆

36
Q

A

The extent to which a learner emits an untrained response that are functionally equivalent to the trained response

37
Q

FK-37 Stimulus generalization

A

The occurrence of an established behavior under novel stimulus condition

38

A

47
Q

FK-47 Identify the measurable dimensions of behavior (frequency, rate, duration, magnitude, IRT, latency, trials to criterion, & percent of occurrence)

A

Frequency: simple tally of the number of occurrences of a behavior
Rate: number of responses per unit of time
Duration: amount of time a behavior occurs for
Magnitude: the force or intensity with which a response is emitted
Interresponse time: the time between the onset of behavior 1 and the onset of behavior 2
Latency: The time between the onset of a stimulus and the response
Trials to criterion: the number of opportunities needed to achieve a predetermined criterion
Percent of occurrence: number of responses/number of opportunities X 100

48
Q

FK-48 State the advantages and disadvantages of using continuous measurement procedures and discontinuous measurement procedures

A 
Continuous measurement (WI recording): records every instance of a behavior providing a more accurate picture but requires a lot of resources
Discontinuous measurement (PI recording and Momentary time sampling): records a sample of occurrences during an observation, useful when resources aren't available for continuous measurement, but doesn't capture every instances of a behavior and poses a threat to validity
