The science that applies tactics, from behaviorism, to improve socially significant behaviors, experimentation in this science is used to identify variables that improve behavior.

Empiricism

Answer 5

Looking at the behavior objectively

automatic reinforcement

Answer 6

Reinforcement that occurs in the absence of social mediation. Reinforcement delivered by one’s self.

Question 7

Continuous reinforcement

Answer 7

Reinforcement that occurs after every response of a target behavior

Question 8

Aversive stimulus

Answer 8

Evokes a behavior that has been terminated in the past it is a punisher when presented following behavior and can act as reinforcement when removed.

Question 9

Conditioned Stimulus

Answer 9

Results in a response that is a result of previous respondent conditioning

Question 10

Avoidance Behavior

Answer 10

Prevents an aversive event

Question 11

Escape behavior

Answer 11

Terminates an active adverse event

Question 12

Avoidance Contingency

Answer 12

A response contingency that prevents or postpones a stimulus

Question 13

Escape Contingency

Answer 13

A response contingency that terminates or removes a stimulus

Question 14

Behavior Change Tactic

Answer 14

A behaivor modification method that posesses generality, across subjects settings and or behavior so it is codified and deceminated.

Question 15

determinism

Answer 15

The universe is orderly and things happen for a reason

Question 16

Respondent Extinction

Answer 16

When a conditioned stimulus is no longer paired with an unconditioned stimulus

like the bell and the puff of air

Question 16

Ontogeny

Answer 16

Changes that occur in an individual’s lifetime do to learning history.

Question 16

Behaviorism

Answer 16

The philosophy and science of behavior

Question 17

phylogeny

Answer 17

Behaviors that are part of the natural evolution of a species, behavior change across generations and not across people.

Question 17

Consequence

Answer 17

Stimulus change that happens after the behavior

Question 18

Antecedent

Answer 18

Becomes immediately before the behavior

Question 19

Contingency

Answer 19

Relationship between stimuli and or events, related to the consequence

Question 20

Conditioned response

Answer 20

A response elicited after respondent conditioning

Question 21

Continuous reinforcement

Answer 21

Each instance of a response is followed by reinforcement FR1

Question 22

Differential reinforcement

Answer 22

Reinforcing one response class and not others

Question 23

Sensory reinforcers

Answer 23

sensory stimulation

Question 24

Social reinforcer

Answer 24

access to reinforcement through others example: attention, praise

Question 25

Edible reinforcement

Answer 25

access to food or drink

Question 26

Escape behavior

Answer 26

results in the termination of aversive stimulus

Question 27

Avoidance behavior

Answer 27

A behavior that results in avoidance of adversive stimuli but there is a threat of its occurrence.

Question 28

Experimental Analysis of Behavior

Answer 28

A natural science approach to the study of behavior as a subject matter in its own right founded by B.F. Skinner. Its methodological features include rate of response as a basic dependent variable, repeated or continuous measurement of clearly defined response classes, within-subject experimental comparisons instead of group design, visual analysis of graphed data instead of statistical inference, and an emphasis on describing functional relations between behavior and controlling variables in the environment over formal theory testing.

Question 29

Conditioned reinforcer

Answer 29

Gain reinforcing effects by beginning as neutral stimuli and being paired with unconditioned reinforcers

Question 30

Unconditioned reinforcement

Answer 30

A stimulus change that can increase a behavior with no prior pairing with other reinforcers like food and water

Question 31

Generalized conditioned reinforcer

Answer 31

A conditioned reinforcer that - as a result of having been paired with many other reinforcers - does not depend on an establishing operation or any particular form of reinforcement for its effectiveness.

Question 32

Negative reinforcement

Answer 32

occurrence of behavior is followed by the removal or avoidance of adverse stimuli

Question 33

Positive reinforcement

Answer 33

occurrence of behavior is followed by the presentation of preferred stimuli

Question 34

Negative reinforcer

Answer 34

A stimulus whose termination or reduction acts as reinforcement.

Question 35

Positive reinforcement

Answer 35

A type of reinforcement in which, contingent on the behavior, a stimulus or event is presented and the probability of the behavior increases in the future.

Question 36

Positive reinforcer

Answer 36

a stimulus that follows behaivor that makes it more likely the behavior will happen again in the future

Question 37

Principal of behavior

Answer 37

A statement describing the functional relation between a behavior and its controlling variables with generality across organisms' species settings behavior and time

Question 38

reflex

Answer 38

an automatic response without prior conditioning

Question 39

reinforcement

Answer 39

a stimulus change that follows a response that increases the likelihood of that response in the future

Question 40

response

Answer 40

a single occurrence of a behavior

Question 41

reinforcer

Answer 41

A stimulus that follows a behavior that increases the likelihood of that behavior occurring in the future

Question 42

response class

Answer 42

A group of responses of varying topography, that produce the same effect on the environment ex: bye, see ya later ex: hi, sup, hello

Question 43

tangible reinforcers

Answer 43

reinforcers relating to physical items eg: toys, games,

Question 44

Stimulus

Answer 44

An environmental event that can be detected by one of the senses

Question 45

Stimulus Class

Answer 45

Group of events or stimuli that has the same functional effect on a behavior

Question 46

Behavior

Answer 46

The activity of an organism, stimuli in the environment evoke and elicit these responses.

Question 47

Three-term contingency

Answer 47

The antecedent that is present when the behavior occurs, the behavior, and the reinforcing consequence.

Question 48

Token

Answer 48

Object rewards contingent on desired behaviors that are then exchanged for backup reinforcers.
