Section 2 Foundational Knowledge Flashcards
Response
Single Instance of Behavior
Behavior VS Response
Large Set/Class of responses that share physical dimensions or functions
Response- Single instance of behavior
Repertoire
- All behaviors that an individual can do
2. Collection of knowledge and skills an individual has learned that are relevant to a particular task
Environment
Complex, Dynamic universe of events that differs from instance to instance
Stimuli
Physical events that affect the behavior of an individual
Internal/External to the individual
Prior,During or After a Behavior.
“Temporal Locus” of a stimuli
3 types of a nervous system
- Proprioceptive
- Interoceptive
- Exteroceptive
Proprioceptive
Stimulation from joints, tendons, muscles, balance and movement
Interoceptive
Internal Events
Headaches
Hunger Pains
Exteroceptive
5 Senses
Stimulus Class
Group of antecedent stimuli has a common effect on an operant class
3 types of stimulus class
Formal
Temporal
Functional
Formal Class
Physical Features of Stimuli
“Size,Color, Intensity, and Weight”
Temporal Class
Time
Functional Class
Stimulus Changes are understood best though a functional analysis of their effects on behavior
Feature Stimulus Class
Common Topographies
Relative Relations
Concept of a dog, horse, tree, onion bigger or smaller
“Stimulus Generalization”
Arbitrary Stimulus Class
Class evoke same response but they do not share common features
Apple,Banana,Kiwi=Fruit
Consequences
Affect FUTURE behavior
Automaticy
person does not have to know what a consequence means for it to work
Automatic Reinforcement
Occurs independent of social mediation of others. Other people DO NOT deliver the consequence
Negative Automatic Reinforcement
Putting lotion on dry skin relieves dryness
Positive Automatic Reinforcement
you taste salty caramel brownies for the first time and now you bake them all the time
Automatic Punishment
Occurs independent of the social mediation of others.
2 Types of Automatic Punishment
Negative and Positive Automatic Punishments
Reinforcement
Duration
Latency
Magnitude
Topography
Possible Unwanted Effects of Reinforcement
Positive Reinforcement
Rule Governed Behaviors
Contingency Shaped Behaviors
Behavior Contrast
Positive Behavior Contrast
Negative Behavior Contrast
Positive Behavior Contrast
behavior increases for more favorable reinforcers after being exposed to a reinforcer that has become less favorable
Negative behavior contrast
Behavior decreases for less favorable reinforcer after being exposed to a reinforcer that is more favorable
Positive Reinforcement
SR+ Process occurs when behavior is followed immediately by presentation of stimulus that increases future frequency of the behavior
5 Types of Positive Reinforcers
Edibles Activity Tangibles Sensory Social
Negative Reinforcement
Process occurs when a behavior is followed immediately by a reduction or removal of a stimulus that increases the future frequency of behavior in similar conditions
2 types of negative reinforcement
Escape
Avoidance
ESCAPE
Stops an ongoing stimulus from an unpleasant situation
Avoidance
prevents or postpones presentation of a stimulus
