Unit 2 Flashcards
2 or more simultaneous, but independent schedules for different responses
Concurrent schedules
Distribution of bxon concurrent schedules of SR+to predict response allocation
The matching law
Response effort
Reinforcer quality
Reinforcer delay
Reinforcer magnitude/duration
4 other variables influencing response allocation (choice)
Amount of effort to complete a response
Response effort
Time it takes to deliver a reinforcer
Reinforcer delay
Overall value of a reinforcer
Reinforcer quality
Amount of a reinforcer provided
Reinforcer magnitude
Length of access to a reinforcer
Reinforcer duration
A previously reinforced bx no longer produces reinforcement
Operant extinction(EXT)
Contingency between the response and reinforcer is broken
Underlying mechanism of extinction
Withhold all attention following the response
Extinction procedure for bx maintained by attention
Deny access to item following the response
Extinction procedure for bx maintained by access to tangibles
Mask the sensory consequences of the response
Extinction procedure for bx maintained by sensory effects (automatic)
Continue the demand following the response until task is completed
Extinction procedures for bx maintained by escape
Extinction burst
Extinction-induced aggression
Behavioral contrast
Spontaneous recovery
Unwanted effects of extinction
Brief increase in response variability following extinction
Extinction burst
Violent acts directed at the previous source of reinforcement
Extinction-induced aggression
