24
Q

environmental change which follows a response and increases or maintains the future frequency of that behavior

A

reinforcement

25
Q

consequence reinforces responses NOT organisms

A

reinforcement

26
Q

a stimulus that initially has no innate reinforcing properties, but acquires reinforcing properties through pairing with unconditioned reinforcers or strongly conditioned reinforcers

A

conditioned reinforcer

Sr+ or Sr-

27
Q

a conditioned reinforcer that has been paired with a variety of other reinforcers and which is effective for a wide range of behaviors

A

generalized conditioned reinforcers

28
Q

less susceptible to the effects of deprivation and satiation. EX: praise, money, tokens

A

generalized conditioned reinforcers

29
Q

an environmental change in which a stimulus is subtracted (removed/attenuated following a response, which increases or maintains future frequency of that behavior

An irritant/aversive antecedent condition must exist!!

A

Negative Reinforcement

30
Q

a bx that terminates an aversive stimulus; thus it is maintained by negative reinforcement

A

escape

31
Q

terminates or delays a warning stimulus (a conditioned aversive stimulus whose presence is correlate with the upcoming onset of an unconditioned aversive stimulus)

A

avoidance

32
Q

attn, edibles given by someone else, tangibles given by someone else, given access to a preferred activity

A

socially-mediated positive reinforcement

33
Q

escape from task, having to comply with request, setting, people

A

socially-mediated negative reinforcement

34
Q

self access to edibles, tangibles, access to preferred activity, proprioceptive feedback

A

automatic positive reinforcement

35
Q

escape from pain/discomfort, escape from task, having to comply with request, setting, people

A

automatic negative reinforcement

36
Q

the process by which a previously reinforced behavior is weakened by withholding reinforcement

A

operant extinction

37
Q

an environmental change in which a stimulus is added (presented) or magnified following a response, which decreases the future frequency of that bx

A

positive punishment

38
Q

a stimulus that when presented following a response decreases the future frequency of that behavior

A

positive punisher

39
Q

a stimulus that usually is punishing without any prior learning; that is, due to phylogenic provenance

A

unconditioned punisher

40
Q

a stimulus that initially has no punishing properties, but acquires them through pairing with unconditioned punishers; that is due to ontongenic provenance

A

Conditioned punisher

41
Q

an environmental change in which a stimulus is subtracted (withdrawn, removed) or attenuated following a response, which decreases the future frequency of that behavior (appetitive condition whose removal would be punishing has to exist)

A

negative punishment

42
Q

a type of negative punishment procedure in which a response starts a timer; while the time is running; the organism cannot access reinforcers

A

time-out form positive reinforcement

43
Q

the process by which a previously punished behavior is strengthened by withholding punishment

A

recovery from punishment

44
Q

consists of two operations: reinforcement and extinction (not reinforcing)

A

differential reinforcement

45
Q

reinforce some responses and not reinforcing and other responses. leads to differentiation.

A

differential reinforcement

46
Q

consists of reinforcing a response when certain stimuli are present and not reinforcing the the same response wen those stimuli are not present

A

discrimination

47
Q

S-R-S contingency that leads to differentiation (different stimuli)

A

discrimination

48
Q

the differential reinforcement of successive approximation to a target behavior

A

shaping

49
Q

leads to differentiation and is used to establish a novel topography or dimension fo a behavior

A

shaping

50
Q

when a behavior is no longer reinforced, it will immediately and temporarily increase in frequency, duration, and intensity before it decreases

A

extinction burst

51
Q

the reinforcer is withheld (not presented)

A

extinction of behavior maintained through positive reinforcement

52
Q

the aversive antecedent stimulus is NOT withdrawn (not terminated or removed)

A

extinction of behavior maintained through negative reinforcement

53
Q

masking the sensory consequences of the bx (padding the table for head banging)

A

sensory extinction

54
Q

the procedure of non-reinforcement of a previously reinforced behavior

A

extinction

55
Q

the process in which, when an operant behavior has ceased following extinction, the behavior may reoccur at a later time in the same circumstance in which it was previously reinforced

A

spontaneous recovery

56
Q

reinforcement works without any need for verbal-mediation

A

automaticity of reinforcement

57
Q

we cannot refer to hypothetical constructs such as expectancy, understanding, knowing, and awareness

A

automaticity or reinforcement

58
Q

an environmental change that follows a response which decreases the future frequency of that bx

A

punishment
