Q

Stimulus Control

A

Different rates of responses happening in the presence or absence of a stimulus
Due to pairings in the past
Antecedents acquire the ability to control operant behavior

Q

Discrimination Training

A

TWO antecedents (one SD and the other S-delta) for ONE response, the response only should happen with the SD not the S-delta

Used to strengthen behavior
Primarily the initial stages of learning a new behavior

Q

Intermittent Reinforcement

A
  • Some but not all of occurrences of the behavior are reinforced
  • Used to maintain an established behavior
  • Maintenance stages of learning
    It is usually necessary for the progression to naturally occurring reinforcement

Q

Completion of a fixed number of responses for a reinforcer

A

Fixed Ratio

  • Graph: Like steps with an obtuse angle
17
Q

What schedules of reinforcement have a post reinforcement pause?

A

Fixed Ratio and Fixed Interval

18
Q

Variable Ratio

A

Requires the completion of a variable number of responses to produce a reinforcer

  • Graph: best one, steep straight line up
19
Q

Requires the completion of a variable number of responses to produce a reinforcer

A

Variable Ratio

  • Graph: best one, steep straight line up
20
Q

Fixed Interval

A

First response after a designated and constant amount of time produces the reinforcer.

  • Graph: scallop
21
Q

First response after a designated and constant amount of time produces the reinforcer.

A

Fixed Interval

  • Graph: scallop
22
Q

Variable Interval

A

The first response following varying intervals of time produces the reinforcer.

  • Graph: not steep, constant upward, straight line
23
Q

The first response following varying intervals of time produces the reinforcer.

A

Variable Interval

  • Graph: not steep, constant upward, straight line
24
Q

Limited Hold

A
  • Reinforcement remains available for a limited time following the passing of the FI or VI interval
  • The person will miss the opportunity to receive reinforcement if a targeted response does not occur within the time limit
  • It usually does not change the overall response characteristics of FI and VI schedules beyond a possible increase in rate of response

A

Limited Hold

  • The person will miss the opportunity to receive reinforcement if a targeted response does not occur within the time limit
  • It usually does not change the overall response characteristics of FI and VI schedules beyond a possible increase in rate of response
26
Q

Thinning Intermittent Reinforcement

A
  1. Gradually increasing the response ratio or the duration of the time interval
  2. Use instructions to communicate the change
27
Q

Ratio Strain

A

When the ratio becomes so large that the reinforcement cannot maintain the response level
The response requirement exceeds the participants physiological capabilities

Q

A

Ratio Strain

29
Q

Differential Reinforcement

A

Delivery of the reinforcer is contingent on response occurring at a rate higher than or lower than some predetermined criterion

30
Q

Delivery of the reinforcer is contingent on response occurring at a rate higher than or lower than some predetermined criterion

A

Differential Reinforcement

31
Q

DRH (high rates)

A
  • Reinforcement of responses higher than a predetermined criterion
  • Produce a higher rate of responding
32
Q

Reinforcement of responses higher than a predetermined criterion

A

DRH (high rates)

-Produce a higher rate of responding

33
Q

DRL (low rate)

A
  • Responses are reinforced only when they are lower than the criterion
  • Produce a lower rate of responding
34
Q

Responses are reinforced only when they are lower than the criterion

A

DRL (low rate)

-Produce a lower rate of responding

35
Q

Three definition of DRH and DRL schedules

A

Spaced-responding
Full-session
Interval
