Unit 4 Flashcards
operant bx
mostly under the control of consequences
antecedent research
not conceptually systematic
kantor’s conceptualization
structure-bound, not functionally related
setting events
stimulus events or contexts that exert general control over antecedent-bx relationships
contextual variables
sd, sdelta, sdp
motivating operation
antecedent condition that has either value altering or behavior altering effect
role of antecedents in treatment
operant antecedents do not function independently of consequences
time based schedules (best term for…)
non-contingent stimulus presentation
negative punishment
for negative punishment to occur an antecedent appetitive condition must exist whose removal would be punishing
time out
time out from positive reinforcement: withdrawl of reinforcement or loss of access to reinforcement for period of time contingent on inappropriate bx.
time out
contraindicated for bx maintained by social negative reinforcement; inappropriate for escape-avoidance bx
types of time out
planned ignoring, ribbon, contingent observation or from specific reinforcement, exclusion
overcorrection
reductive procedure where person is required
restitutional overcorrection
restore and overcorrect environment
simple overcorrection
restore environment to original state
positive practice
practice the appropriate behavior many times
aversive stimuli
water mist, bad taste liquids, sounds, smells, electro-faradic
contingent observation
removing a person from a reinforcing activity or thing while they watch others engage with the items/activities for brief period of time
response cost
contingent on inappropriate bx person has item taken away permanently
behavioral momentum
tendency for pattern of bx to persist despite from opposition to the response reinforcer relationship
high-p requests
easy tasks with a history of compliance
low-p request
target task without history of regular compliance
high-p intervention
establishes a momentum of compliance that will be resistant to change when a low-p instruction is presented
high-p intervention -procedure
antecedent intervention with 2-5 high-p tasks presented in quick succession before requesting the low-p task
