Wk 5 SR+ SR- stimulus and response Flashcards
Three Term Contingency
Antecedent— Behavior—- Consequence
Stimulus to Stimulus Pairing
Use of respondent conditioning to expand one’s conditioned stimuli,
Activity Reinforcer
Access to preferred activities
Applied Behavioral Analysis
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
Looking at the behavior objectively
automatic reinforcement
Reinforcement that occurs in the absence of social mediation. Reinforcement delivered by one’s self.
Continuous reinforcement
Reinforcement that occurs after every response of a target behavior
Aversive stimulus
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.
Conditioned Stimulus
Results in a response that is a result of previous respondent conditioning
Avoidance Behavior
Prevents an aversive event
Escape behavior
Terminates an active adverse event
Avoidance Contingency
A response contingency that prevents or postpones a stimulus
Escape Contingency
A response contingency that terminates or removes a stimulus
Behavior Change Tactic
A behaivor modification method that posesses generality, across subjects settings and or behavior so it is codified and deceminated.
determinism
The universe is orderly and things happen for a reason
Respondent Extinction
When a conditioned stimulus is no longer paired with an unconditioned stimulus
like the bell and the puff of air
Ontogeny
Changes that occur in an individual’s lifetime do to learning history.
Behaviorism
The philosophy and science of behavior
phylogeny
Behaviors that are part of the natural evolution of a species, behavior change across generations and not across people.
Consequence
Stimulus change that happens after the behavior
