SAFMEDS Flashcards
A relationship between
1) a stimulus that evokes a response and 2) the response-product of that response in which the STIMULUS and the RESPONSE-PRODUCT are both in the SAME modality and their physical patterns or sequences RESEMBLE ONE ANOTHER
Formal Similarity
An INCREASE in the REINFORCING EFFECTIVENESS of a stimulus, object or event caused by a MOTIVATING OPERATION
Reinforcer Establishing Effect
When a CONTROLLING VARIABLE evokes a response and there is POINT-TO-POINT correspondence between the controlling variable and the RESPONSE
Formal Control
A relatively PERMANENT CHANGE in an organism’s repertoire of MO, stimulus, and response relations caused by REINFORCEMENT, PUNISHMENT an EXTINCTION procedure, or a RECOVERY from punishment procedure
Function-Altering Effect
Behavior REINFORCED THROUGH THE MEDIATION of another person who has been specifically trained to provide such reinforcement
Verbal Behavior
The FUNCTIONS A STIMULUS has for a person can be CHANGED on the basis of how it is related to other stimuli
Transformation of Stimulus Functions
A GENERALIZED pattern of RELATIONAL RESPONDING that is arbitrarily applicable and has the properties of MUTUAL ENTAILMENT, COMBINATORIAL ENTAILMENT, and TRANSFORMATION of stimulus function
Relational Frame
a MOTIVATING OPERATION that DECREASES the reinforcing effectiveness of a stimulus, object, or event
Abolishing Operation
a DECREASE in the current frequency of BEHAVIOR that has been reinforced by the stimulus that is increased in reinforcing effectiveness by the same MOTIVATING OPERATION
Abative Effect
a stimulus change that occurs AFTER a response has been emitted, INCREASES the future probability of that response, and results from the action of ANOTHER INDIVIDUAL
Mediated Reinforcement
An environmental change or event that precedes the response to which it is functionally related and INCREASES the EFFECTIVENESS of a particular STIMULUS change as REINFORCEMENT
Establishing Operation
RESPONDING to one stimulus based on its RELATION to another stimulus or stimuli
Relational Responding
a DECREASE in the REINFORCING EFFECTIVENESS of a stimulus, object or event, caused by a MOTIVATING OPERATION
Reinforcer-Abolishing Effect
The occurrence of a previously punished type of response without its PUNISHING consequence. This procedure is analogous to the EXTINCTION of previously reinforced behavior and has the effect of undoing the effect of the punishment
Recovery from Punishment Procedure
TWO or more STIMULUS RELATIONS can mutually Combine
Combinatorial Entailment
A stimulus that acquires its MO EFFECTIVENESS by being PAIRED with another MO and has the SAME value-altering and behavior-altering EFFECTS as the MO with which it was paired
Surrogate Conditioned Motivating Operation
a MOTIVATING OPERATION whose value-altering effect depends on the LEARNING HISTORY
Conditioned Motivating Operation
A form of verbal behavior in which the RESPONSE IS WRITING, the controlling variable is a response-product of someone’s PRIOR VOCAL BEHAVIOR, and their is POINT-TO POINT correspondence between the stimulus and the response
