Rule governed behavior
When there is a time delay between the response and the SR+
When there is a time delay between the response and the SR+
Rule governed behavior
Contingency shaped behaviors
When a behavior immediately has a consequence following the behavior
When a behavior immediately has a consequence following the behavior
Contingency shaped behavior
What are the two effects of MOs
Value altering
- Eo
- AO
Behavior altering
- evocative
- abative
Value Altering
- EO: An increase in the reinforcing effectiveness of some stimulus, object, or event
- AO: Decrease in reinforcing effectiveness
Behavior altering
- An increase in the current frequency of behavior that has been reinforced by some stimulus, object, or event, called an evocative effect
- A decrease in the current frequency of behavior that has been reinforced by some stimulus, object, or event, called an abative effect
Value- and Behavior- Altering effects of an MO occur ___________ but are considered ___________ in the sense that one does not derive from the other
Simultaneously, independent
Effectiveness of MOs _______ _____ depend on the person being able to describe the effects of MOs on their behavior
Does not
In the absence of the MO that establishes the value of the consequence as a reinforcer:
- Discrimination learning is unlikely to occur
2. A previously effective SD would also not evoke behavior
Antecedents can _______ or ________ responses, but their occurrence does not alter the organism’s functional behavioral repertoire
Evoke, abate
As antecedent variables, MOs alter the current ___________ of all behaviors relevant to that MO
Frequency
Reducing or eliminating the MO for a specific problem behavior is a _________ rather than permanent solution
Temporary
Consequences have ______________ effects
Function-altering
Consequences effects:
Reinforcers
Punishers
The occurrence of a response without its reinforcer (extinction procedure), or without its punisher (recovery from punishment procedure)
