Week 2 Flashcards
Stimulus change that follows a behavior of interest and changes the probability of its future occurrence.
Consequence
Response is followed by removal, postponement or decrease in intensity of an aversive stimulus that results in similar responses occurring more
Negative reinforcement
Response is followed by presentation or increase in intensity of a stimulus that results in similar responses occurring more
Positive reinforcement
Behavior - stimulus change relation that occurs without the presentation of consequences by other people
Automatic reinforcement
A stimulus change that functions as a reinforcer because of prior pairing with one other reinforcer
Conditioned reinforcer
A stimulus change that functions as a reinforcer because of prior pairing with two or more reinforcers
Generalized conditioned reinforcers
Someone or something that behaves
Behaver
A stimulus in the presence of which a particular behavior has been differentials reinforced
SD for reinforcement
SD for a given behavior is correlated with
Differential availability of the consequence that maintains the behavior
Group of topographically different responses that generate the same consequence.
Response class
Response is followed by presentation or increase in intensity of stimulus by others that increases the probability of occurrence of that response.
Social positive reinforcement
Pairing NS with unconditioned or conditioned reinforcer will establish the NS as a
Conditioned reinforcer
Any behavior that generates consequences
Operant
What the behavior looks like
Topography
A stimulus change that increases future probability of similar responses it follows
Reinforcer
Accidentally reinforcing a behavior could result in
Superstitious behavior
The activity of an organism
Behavior
Behavior is a
Movement
Stimulus condition whose termination functions as a reinforcer for the given behavior
Aversive stimulus
A response prevents or postpones the presentation of aversive stimuli
Avoidance contingency
A response terminates an ongoing aversive stimulus
Escape contingency
Escape and avoidance contingencies are maintained by
Negative reinforcement
A stimulus in the presence of which a reinforcer for a particular behavior has been withheld
S-delta for reinforcement
Reinforcer without learning history
Unconditioned reinforcer
Positive and negative reinforcement result in ______ in probability of occurrence of the behavior that is being reinforced
Increase
Effects of consequences on the behavior
Operant learning
Operant behavior is
Voluntary
Deliver the reinforcer, following the target response within
30 seconds
SD has _______ effect on a particular behavior
Evocative
Specific instance of a behavior
Response
Automatic reinforcement occurs independent of
Social mediation of other
Automatic reinforcers are naturally produced sensory consequences that
Sound good, taste good, smells good, look good, and feel good
Behavior-stimulus casual relationship
Contingency
Stimulus change that occurs prior to a response
Antecedent
Procedure of reinforcing a behavior
