UNIT 1-9 Flashcards
(239 cards)
An increase in the current frequency of a behavior that is reinforced by the stimulus that is increased in reinforcing effectiveness by the same motivating operation
Evocative Effect
An alteration in the reinforcing effectiveness of a stimulus, object or event as a result of a motivating operation
Value-Altering Effect
A decrease in the current frequency of a behavior that is reinforced by the stimulus that is decreased in reinforcing effectiveness by the same motivating operation
Abative Effect
An alteration in the current frequency of behavior that has been reinforced by the stimulus that is altered in effectiveness by the same motivating operation
Behavior Altering Effect
A motivating operation that establishes the effectiveness of a stimulus, object or event as a reinforcer
Establishing Operation
A motivating operation that decreases the reinforcing effectiveness of a stimulus object or event
Abolishing Operation
A group of stimuli in which the frequency, duration, latency or amplitude of a behavior is altered by the presence or absence of an antecedent stimulus
Stimulus Control
Motivating operations whose value altering effect does not come from a history of learning
Unconditioned Motivating Operations (UMO)
Motivating operations whose value altering effect depend on a learning history
Conditioned Motivating Operations (CMO)
An antecedent stimulus that evokes or abates a specific behavior, due to a past history of differential availability of reinforcement or punishment for that behavior that is dependent on their presence versus their absence
Discriminative Stimulus
An environmental variable that alters the reinforcing or punishing effectiveness of a stimulus, object or event; and that alters the current frequency of behavior that is reinforced or punished by that stimulus, object or event
Motivating Operations
The basic process by which operant learning occurs
Operant Conditioning
Behavior is likely to occur under the current conditions
Evoke
Behavior is Not likely to occur under the current conditions
Abate
Reinforcing only responses within a specific response class that meet specific criterion along a dimension and placing all other responses in that class on extinction
Differential Reinforcement
When differential reinforcement consists of reinforcing some responses and not reinforcing other responses
Differentiation
When differential reinforcement consists of reinforcing a response when certain stimuli are present and not reinforcing the same response when those stimuli are not present
Discrimination
The tendency of behavior to occur more frequently in the presence of a particular stimulus because behavior has been reinforced only or mostly in the presence of that stimulus
Discriminative Control
An operant class that is established through the process of differential reinforcement with respect to the presence or absence of antecedent stimuli
Discriminated Operant
Discriminative Stimulus for reinforcement. Evokes behavior because in the past that behavior has been reinforced in its presence
SD for SR
Discriminative stimulus for extinction. Abates behavior because in the past that behavior has not been reinforced in its presence
S delta for SR
Discriminative stimulus for punishment. Abates behavior because in the past that behavior has been punished in its presence
SDP for SP
Discriminative stimulus for withholding punishment. Evokes behavior because in the past that behavior has not been punished in its presence
S delta P for withholding punishment (xSp)
Discriminative stimulus for positive reinforcement
