Acronyms
DRI
What is differential reinforcement of incompatible behavior?
The amount of time between the delivery of the discriminative stimuli and the start of the behavior.
What is latency?
A child cleans up toys to avoid hearing a loud timer sound. This is an example of this procedure.
What is negative reinforcement?
When teaching a chain of behaviors, this method teachers the last step first.
What is backward chaining?
A behavior occurring more often in the presence of one stimulus condition than another
What is stimulus control?
DTT
What is Discrete Trial Training?
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)?
This principle refers to behaviors increasing because they contacted reinforcement in the past.
What is reinforcement history?
VI2
What is a variable interval schedule of two minutes?
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?
LR
What is listener responding?
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 effect may occur when reinforcement is delivered regardless of behavior, resulting in reduced motivation to respond.
What is satiation?
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?
