Q

Define stimulus

A
  • Any event or object in the environment that can be detected by the senses and has the potential to influence behavior. EX: loud noise, the smell of food.

Q

What is a Conditioned Reinforcement?

A
  • Previously Neutral Stimulus becomes reinforcing through its association with a primary reinforcer. EX: Money

Q

What is an Unconditioned Reinforcement?

A
  • involves stimuli that is naturally reinforcing because it satisfies a basic biological needs. EX: Food

Q

What is Positive Punishment?

A
  • behavior is followed by the presentation of an aversive stimulus, while decreasing the likelihood of the behavior occurring again in the future.

Q

What is Negative Punishment?

A
  • B.F. Skinner - Operant conditioning - it involves removing a desired stimulus, to decrease the likelihood of a behavior re-occurring. EX: taking away a toy

Q

What is the Motivating operation? (reinforcer)

A
  • environmental event or condition that temporarily alters the effectiveness of a reinforcer, and the frequency of the behavior associated with the reinforcer.
    –EO –> the effectiveness of a reinforcer
    –AO –> After eating, the food becomes less effective as a reinforcer.

Q

What does ABC represent?

A

Q

What are the stages of Respondent Conditioning?

A

A, E, C.S.

17
Q

What is Aquisition?

A

the phase where the Neutral Stimulus is repeatedly paired with the Unconditioned Stimulus until it becomes a conditioned stimulus.

18
Q

What is Extinction?

A

the gradual weakening and eventual disappearance of the conditioned response when the conditioned stimulus is no longer paired with the unconditioned stimulus.

19
Q

What is a spontaneous recovery?

A

the reappearance of the conditioned response after a period of rest and with no further conditioning.

20
Q

What is an example of the respondent conditioning paradigm?

A

BC –> Food (US) –> Salivation (UR); Bell (NS) –> No Response.
DC –> Bell (NS) + Food (US) –> Salivation (UR).
AC –>Bell (CS) –> Salivation (CR)

21
Q

What is Operant Conditioning?

A

also known as instrumental conditioning; is a learning process where behaviors are influenced by their consequences.

22
Q

Describe the operant conditioning paradigm.

A

PR –> NR –> P (PP or NP) –> Ext.

23
Q

Provide examples of the operant conditioning paradigm.

A

BCR
Behavior - a student raises their hand in class.
Consequence - the teacher praises the student (positive reinforcement)
Result - the student is more likely to raise their hand in the future.

24
Q

What are the 7 dimensions of ABA?

A

ABAT,C.S,EG

  1. Applied - focuses on behaviors that are socially significant
  2. Behavioral - emphasizes the need for precise measurement of the actual behavior in need of improvement and documents that it was the subject’s behavior that changed.
  3. Analytic - demonstrates a functional relationship between the manipulated events and the behavior of interest, showing control over the behavior.
  4. Technological - procedures are described clearly and concisely so that others can replicate the intervention.
  5. Conceptually Systematic - interventions are consistent with principles demonstrated in the literature and are described in terms of these principles.
  6. Effective - interventions produce significant behavior changes that are socially important.
  7. Generality - behaviors changes achieved should maintain overtime, appear in other environments, or spread to other behaviors.
