What is Antecedent Behavior Consequence?
That portion of an organism's interaction with its environment that involves movement of some part of the organism
What is behavior?/What is Skinner's definition of behavior?
Positive punishment occurs when a behavior is followed immediately by the _________ of a stimulus that ______the future frequency of the behavior in similar conditions
What is presentation, decreases
This strategy involves differential reinforcements of successive approximations to a terminal behavior.
What is shaping?
Reinforcement is given after the following amount of responses: 2, 3, 7, 4, 6, 2
What is a VR4 schedule?
FBA
What is a Functional Behavior Assessment?
This is when the child is still learning a certain response. The response is being reinforced, and prompted if necessary but is not yet mastered.
What are acquisition trials?
Negative reinforcement occurs when a behavior is followed immediately by the _________ of a stimulus that ______the future frequency of the behavior in similar conditions
What is removal, increases
This strategy involves reinforcing all other behaviors within a time interval besides the target behavior.
What is differential reinforcement of other behaviors (DRO)?
Used to decrease the rate of behaviors that occur too frequently but should be maintained in the learner's repertoire
What is differential reinforcement of low rates (DRL)?
SD
What is discriminative stimulus?
This is the process of breaking a complex skill or series of behaviors into smaller, teachable units; also refers to the result of this process.
What is task analysis?
This is only reinforcing those responses within a response class that meet a specific criterion along some dimension and placing all other responses in the class of extinction
What is differential reinforcement?
This strategy involves withholding reinforcement for a previously reinforced behavior.
What is extinction?
A behavioral effect associated with extinction in which the behavior suddenly begins to occur after its frequency has decreased to its pre-reinforcement level or stopped entirely.
What is an spontaneous recovery?
R+
What is positive reinforcement?
The sequence of new response classes that emerge during the shaping process as the result of differential reinforcement; each response class is closer in form to the terminal behavior than the response class it replaces.
What is successive approximations?
___________ must always be paired with a punishment protocol for effectiveness to be enhanced
What is a reinforcement strategy?
This strategy involves a cycle of instruction that may be repeated several times until a skill is mastered: 1) initial instruction/SD, 2) a prompt or cue, 3) a response, 4) an appropriate consequence, 5) a pause between consecutive trials
What is discrete trial training (DTT)?
_________ is a schedule of reinforcement that provides reinforcement for the first correct response following the elapse of a variable duration of time occurring in a random or unpredictable order
What is variable interval?
S-R-C
What is stimulus--response--consequence?
These are the verbal operants
What are mands, tacts, intraverbals and echoics?
This phenomenon is when punishment's suppressive effects on behavior are not permanent and is especially likely when the behavior being punished also obtains reinforcement
What is recovery from punishment?
This procedure is used for transferring stimulus control in which features of an antecedent stimulus controlling a behavior are gradually changed to a new stimulus while maintaining the current behavior?
What is fading?
Behavior acquired by direct experience with contingencies
What is contingency-shaped behavior?
