Schedules of Reinforcement
This is a schedule of reinforcement in which a predetermined number of responses are required before a reward is given
What is a fixed ratio schedule of reinforcement
An event that occurs directly before a behavior
What an antecedent
This occurs when something is added to the environment following a behavior that increases the likelihood that behavior will happen again under similar circumstances
What is positive reinforcement
This procedure minimizes errors during the learning process by providing immediate guidance to ensure correct responses
What is errorless learning
This is best classified as a request
What is a mand
This is a schedule of reinforcement in which a reward is given after the first correct response following a predetermined amount of time.
What is a fixed interval schedule of reinforcement
What is a consequence
This occurs when something is removed from the environment following a behavior that increases the likelihood that behavior will happen again under similar circumstances
What is negative reinforcement
This procedure is implemented after an incorrect response by providing prompts, reinforcing correct responses, and fading prompts to promote independent responses.
What is error correction
Teacher: "Twinkle twinkle little" Child: "star" This is an example of
What is an intraverbal
This is a schedule of reinforcement in which a reward is given after the first correct response following an unpredictable amount of time
What is a variable interval schedule of reinforcement
What is behavior
This occurs when something is added to the environment following a behavior that decreases the likelihood that behavior will happen again under similar circumstances
What is positive punishment
This strategy involves using the most intrusive prompts initially and then gradually reducing the level of intrusiveness
What is most to least prompting (alt answer prompt fading)
This is a labeling or naming of things in the environment
What is a tact
This is a schedule of reinforcement in which an unpredictable number of responses are required before receiving a reward
What is a variable ratio schedule of reinforcement
This is an increase in the frequency/magnitude of responding when an extinction procedure is initially implemented
What is an extinction burst
This occurs when something is removed from the environment following a behavior that decreases the likelihood that behavior will happen again under similar circumstances
What is negative punishment
This strategy involves using the least intrusive prompts initially and then gradually increasing the level of intrusiveness if the learner does not respond correctly
What is least to most prompting
This occurs when a person repeats a word spoken by another person
What is an echoic (1/2 point - vocal imitation)
This is a schedule of reinforcement in which a reward is given after a set amount of time has passed regardless of whether a particular behavior has occurred
What is a fixed time schedule of reinforcement (1/2 point - Non-contingent reinforcement)
These are the four functions of behavior
What is access to tangibles, escape/avoidance, attention, and automatic/sensory
This occurs when a behavior that has previously been reinforced no longer receives reinforcement, thus decreasing the likelihood of that behavior in the future
What is extinction
This strategy reinforces some behaviors while withholding reinforcement for other behaviors
What is differential reinforcement
