Q

Differential reinforcement

A

Reinforcing only those responses within a response class that meet a specific criterion along some dimension(s) and placing all other responses in the class on extinction

Q

Stimulus Control(Discriminative Control)

A

The tendency of behavior to occur more frequently in the presence of a particular stimulus because the behavior has been reinforced only or mostly in the presence of that stimulus

Q

Discriminative stimulus (SD)

A

An antecedent stimulus thatevokes or abates a specific behavior, due to a past history of differential availability of reinforcement or punishment for that behavior, dependent on their presence versus their absence

16
Q

SD for SR

A

Discriminative stimulus for reinforcement; Evokes behavior because in the past that behavior has been reinforced in its presence.

17
Q

SΔ for SR(circle with a cross)

A

Discriminative stimulus for extinction; Abates behavior because in the past that behavior has NOT been reinforced in its presence.

18
Q

SDP for SP

A

Discriminative stimulus for punishment; Abates behavior because in the past that behavior has been punished in its presence.

19
Q

SΔP for SP(circle with a cross)

A

Discriminative stimulus for withholding punishment; Evokes behavior because in the past that behavior has NOT been punished in its presence.

20
Q

SDR+

A

Discriminative Stimulus for Positive Reinforcement

21
Q

SDR-

A

Discriminative Stimulus for Negative Reinforcement

22
Q

SΔR+

A

Discriminative Stimulus for extinction of behavior maintained by positive reinforcement

23
Q

SΔR-

A

Discriminative Stimulus for extinction of behavior maintained by negative reinforcement

24
Q

SDP+

A

Discriminative Stimulus for Positive Punishment

25
Q

SDP-

A

Discriminative Stimulus for Negative Punishment

26
Q

SΔP+

A

Discriminative Stimulus for Unavailability of Positive Punishment

27
Q

SΔP-

A

Discriminative Stimulus for Unavailability of Negative Punishment

28
Q

Conditional Discrimination

A

A discrimination in which reinforcing a response is contingent (conditional) on another stimulus.

29
Q

Stimulus Generalization

A

The tendency of a learned response to occur in the presence of stimuli which were not present during training buteither have some similar physical properties to the SDor have been associated with the SD
