Unit 7 Flashcards
Presentation evokes behavior that terminates it (CMO-R)
Offset strengthens behavior that precedes its offset. (Negative Reinforcer)
Onset weakens behavior that precedes its onset. (Positive Punisher)
It may Elicit smooth muscle and gland responses. (US or CS)
aversive stimulus
Onset strengthens behavior that precedes its onset (positive reinforcer)
Offset weakens behavior that precedes its offset (Negative Punisher)
Abates behavior that removes it
It may Elicit smooth muscle and gland responses (US or CS)
Appetitive Stimulus
Which of the following is an aversive stimulus?
A)Establishing operation for negative punishment
B)Negative punisher
C)Positive reinforcer
D)Positive punisher
D)Positive punisher
An appetitive stimulus can evoke behavior that terminates it.
T or F
False
Its removal weakens behavior that removes it:
Appetitive Stimulus
Its offset strengthens behavior that precedes its offset:
Aversive Stimulus
Its offset strengthens behavior that precedes its offset, therefore it’s:
A)EO for negative reinforcement
B)SP+ or Sp+
C)SR- or Sr-
D)UE or CE
C)SR- or Sr-
Shock is an omnibus term.
T or F
false
Cheesecake elicits salivation, reinforces behavior that precedes its onset, its offset punishes behavior that precedes its offset, and it can establish its own removal as a form of punishment. Due to these different effects, cheesecake is:
A)A positive reinforcer
B)An appetitive stimulus
C)An aversive stimulus
D) An evocative stimulus
B)An appetitive stimulus
An unconditioned stimulus:
A) Elicits a conditioned response
B) Doesn’t have an effect on behavior
C) Is the stimulus part of an unconditioned reflex
D) Is a conditioned conditioner
C) Is the stimulus part of an unconditioned reflex
Complex behavior consisting of two or more discrete response components that occur in a definite order.
A specific sequence of responses, each associated with a particular stimulus condition.
The stimuli that occur between two responses in a chain are called links.
Behavior Chain
Any of the response CAN occur independently of the previous response
Any response may produce the terminal reinforcer
Any response may produce unconditioned reinforcers
Response Hierarchy
In a response class hierarchy, which response can result in the terminal reinforcer?
Any
In a behavior chain, which response can result in the terminal reinforcer?
Only the final
When my puppy needs to go outside, first he stands by the door. If I don’t open it, he then begins to scratch the door. If I still don’t open it, he begins to whimper and whine. This is an example of:
Response class hierarchy
In a behavior chain, the stimulus change produced by the first response functions as a(n)_________ for the second response.
SD
Which of the following is an example of a complex behavior which is completed by a behavior chain?
Sneezing
Hugging
Making a sandwich
Turning on the TV
Making a sandwich
Same as response generalization!
Induction
Differential reinforcement of successive approximations to a target topography
shaping
I’m teaching a child to say, “apple” when he wants an apple. At first, I gave him an apple when he said, “Ah.” Then I would give him an apple if he said, “Apa” (I no longer reinforced “Ah”). Finally, I stopped reinforcing “Apa,” and gave him an apple only when he said, “Apple.” This change in behavior is an example of
A)Discrimination training
B)Shaping across topographies
C)Shaping within topographies
D)Stimulus generalization
B)Shaping across topographies
Parameters of Reinforcement
Magnitude
Quantity
Duration
FR 1
Each and every single response that is emitted is reinforced
Reinforcement occurs each and every single time the behavior occurs.
CRF
A schedule of non-reinforcement
Specifies that no occurrence of the behavior is ever reinforced.
Extinction
generally used to establish or strengthen behavior
Continuous reinforcement
used to maintain already established behavior.
Intermittent reinforcement
continuous reinforcement is _______ resistant to extinction
least
intermittent reinforcement is _______ resistant to extinction
most
The two schedules of reinforcement that serve as boundaries for all other schedules are:
CRF and Extinction
a rule that describes which responses will be followed by a reinforcer and which will not
A schedule of reinforcement
Reinforcement is delivered after a certain number of responses
ratio
Reinforcement is delivered for the FIRST response after a certain amount of time since the previous reinforcement
interval
