A

Conditioned Positive Punishment

25
Q

Two other types of consequences that consist of withholding previous consequences

A

Extinction (from reinforcement) and Recovery (from punishment)

26
Q

Discontinuing reinforcement of a previously reinforced behavior

A

Extinction

27
Q

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

A

Reinforcement

28
Q

Environmental change must occur after the response, must occur immediately after the response, contingent upon the response, must increase or maintain future responding, automaticity

A

5 Critical attributes of reinforcement

29
Q

Behavior is modified by its consequences irrespective of the person’s awareness; works without any need for verbal-mediation

A

Automaticity

30
Q

If the opportunity to engage in a “preferred” or “high-probability” behavior is made contingent on engaging in a “less preferred” behavior, the future duration or frequency of the “less preferred” behavior will increase

A

The Premack Principle

31
Q

A stimulus that, when presented following a response, increases or maintains the future frequency of that response

A

Reinforcer

32
Q

Conditioned or unconditioned, positive or negative, automatic or socially mediated, variety of schedules, natural or planned, reinforcing under some conditions but not others

A

6 Variable attributes of reinforcement

33
Q

A stimulus that, usually, is reinforcing without any prior learning; that is, its effect is due to phylogenic provenance(genetics

A

Unconditioned Reinforcer

34
Q

A stimulus that initially has no innate reinforcing properties, but acquires reinforcing properties through pairing with unconditioned reinforcers or powerful conditioned reinforcers; effect is due to ontogenic provenance (experiences)

A

Conditioned Reinforcer

35
Q

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

A

Generalized Conditioned Reinforcer

36
Q

An environmental change in which a stimulus is added (presented) or magnified following a response, that increases or maintains the future frequency of that response

A

Positive Reinforcement

37
Q

An environmental change in which a stimulus is subtracted (withdrawn or removed) or attenuated following a response, and increases or maintains the future frequency of that behavior

A

Negative Reinforcement
