Study stuff Flashcards
Pivotal Behavior
“PIVOT!!” knowing how to carry a couch up the stairs helps you know how to carry a bed up the stairs.
Wood–>Chicken
learn one thing here and it has an effect somewhere else.
learning to cut wood with the grain translates knowing to cut chicken with the grain.
Behavior Cusp
opens door to new type of reinforcement.
learning to crawl–>you can access new things that you couldn’t before.
event recording
every measurement of behavior, continuous recording. ABC narrative, frequency
discontinuous recording
partial, whole, for continuous behaviors
FR FI
post reinforcement pause
levels of scientific understanding
description, prediction, control
operant

stimulus generalization
multiple stimuli evoke one response (pens/pencils–> can write name)

partial interval
POD Overestimates rate of bx Decreases behaviors
whole interval
hole is under your butt
increase behaviors underestimates rate of behaviors
compound schedules of reinforcement
CMMCTAC
concurrent
2+ bx
possible sd
choice/matching law
multiple and mixed
one or more behavior
multiple yes sd
mixed no sd
chained and tandem
one ore more behavior
chained yes sd
tandem no sd
alternative and conjunctive
one behavior
possible sd
alternative either/or
conjunctive BOTH
establishing/abolishing
effect on bx
evocative/abative
effect on reinforcer
fixed interval
scalloped
negative behavior contrast
goes up in one setting and down in the second
positive behavior contrast
goes down in one setting and up in the other
multiple response generalization
multiple responses to one stimuli (hi, hey to one person)
general case analysis
go out into environment and see what they are going to use in the natural environment
radical behaviorism
covert/overt behaviors SKINNER
methodological behaviorism
extremely rigid ONLY OVERT events
overt
inside the person, can’t see
covert
can see
codic
transcript, textual
duplic
point to point/formal similiarity
echoic-verbal sd vocal R
copy text written sd written R
mimic signed sd signed R
type 1 error
false positive telling man he is pregnant
type 2 error
false negative telling pregnant woman she is not pregnant
7 steps for programming for generalization
CLEMING
Habituation
Respondent
When eliciting stimulus is presented over a short period of time the strength of the respondent bx diminishes.
Popping balloon in face
Adaption
Operant
reductions in responding evoke antecedent stimulus over repeated prolonged presentations
inappropriate songs eventually you don’t react to dirty words
