Q

A

Punishment

39
Q

A process that occurs when the addition of a stimulus immediately following a behavior results in a decrease in the future frequency of the behavior

40
Q

SORRER

A 
Shock
Overcorrection
Reprimands 
Response Blocking 
Exercise
Response interruption
41
Q

client is required to engage in effortful behavior that’s directly related to the challenging behavior

A

Overcorrection

42
Q

Negative or corrective feedback. Most common for of punishment.

A

Reprimand

43
Q

physically intervene/block the response

A

Exercise/Contingent Exercise

45
Q

Interrupt a stereotypic behavior as it starts and redirect your client to a high-probability behavior

A

Response Interruption and Redirection

46
Q

Loss of specific amount of reinforcer contingent on challenging behavior

A

Response Cost

47
Q

3 Response Cost Methods

BFE

Q

Procedure in which, contingent on a target behavior, access to a specific reinforcers is prohibited for a period of time

Time-Out

49
Q

A stimulus change that decreases the frequency of any behavior that immediately precedes it irrespective of the organism’s learning history with the stimulus

A

Unconditioned Punisher/punishment

50
Q

A previously neutral stimulus that now functions as a punisher because of prior pairing with 1 or more other punishers

A

Conditioned Punisher/punishment

51
Q

A type of conditioned punisher that’s been paired with many unconditioned and conditioned punishers

A

Generalized conditioned punishers

52
Q

A

Extinction

53
Q

3 types of extinction

PAN

Positive reinforcement extinction
Automatic reinforcement extinction
Negative reinforcement extinction

54
Q

An immediate increase in the rate of responding when an EXT procedures is 1st implemented

A

Extinction Burst

55
Q

A typical short pattern in which the behavior that diminished during the EXT process reoccurs even though the behavior hasn’t been reinforced.

A

Spontaneous recovery

56
Q

Acquired when a discriminated operant (learned behavior) occurs in the presence of the SD and doesn’t occur in its absence or in the presence of other stimuli

A

Stimulus Control

57
Q

A signal that tells you reinforcement is available

A

Discriminative stimulus (SD)

58
Q

A stimulus in the presence of which a given behavior has not produced reinforcement in the past

A

Stimulus Delta

59
Q

An environmental variable which: alters (increases or decreases) the reinforcing effectiveness of a stimulus and b. alters (increases or decreases) the current frequency of all behavior that has been reinforced by that stimulus

A

Motivating operation (MO)

60
Q

A type of MO that increases the effectiveness of a stimulus as a reinforcer in the moment and the current frequency of any behavior to contact that reinforcer

A

Establishing Operation (EO)

61
Q

A type of MO that decreases the effectiveness of stimulus as a reinforcer in the moment and the current frequency of any behavior to contact that reinforcer, makes something less desirable

A

Abolishing Operations (AO)

62
Q

What is the difference between the behavior altering and function altering effects of an MO?

A

Behavior altering effects are in the moment effects and function altering effects are future effects.

64
Q

MO’s that change the value of other stimuli, objects, or events due to conditioning

A

Conditioned Motivating Operations

65
Q

Alters the value of consequences that are under the control of an MO with which it has been paired

A

Surrogate MO (CMO-S)

66
Q

The signal that aversive events may be coming, results in avoidance behavior

67
Q

A

Transitive MO (CMO-T)

68
Q

2 Types of generalization

A

Stimulus Generalization

Response Generalization

69
Q

Responding to antecedent stimuli sharing certain aspects of the original SD; a broadening of the spectrum of stimuli that occasion a response

A

Stimulus Generalization

70
Q

The extent to which your client exhibits novel behaviors that are functionally-equivalent to the trained target response

A

Response Generalization

71
Q

A fixed number of responses have to occur before a response produces reinforcement

A

Fixed Ratio (FR)

72
Q

The strongest basic schedule of INT reinforcement

A

Variable ratio (VR)

73
Q

A fixed amount of time must elapse before a single correct response produces SR

A

Fixed Interval (FI)

74
Q

A specific amount of variable time elapses before a single correct response produces reinforcement

A

Variable Interval (VI)

75
Q

2 or more schedules of reinforcement are in effect separately and at the same time for 2 or more behaviors

A

Concurrent schedules of reinforcement

76
Q

given 2 choices; you will choose to engage in the behavior that has the highest rate of SR in that moment

A
