Schedules
A high rate with post reinforcement pause -- "All or nothing"
What is fixed ratio
Red card/green card procedure
What is multiple schedule
Type of measurement that captures all instances of the target behavior during observation
What is continuous recording
Uses more than one data path, comparison is made between data paths
What is between series design
An approach that combines both how to intervene, how to apply treatments and how to analyze data to know if what we are doing works
What is the Scientist Practitioner Model
Reinforcer delivered for first correct response after a set period of time
What is fixed interval
Stimulus change produced by each step in the chain functions as a reinforcer for that response requirement and an SD for the next step in the chain
What is chained schedule
Evokes behavior that has not been shaped by environmental contingencies
What is rule-governed behavior
Design typically used for acquisition
What is multiple baseline design
What is this equation...
Y' = b(X) + a
What is linear regression formula
Produces consistent and steady, very high rates
What is variable ratio
Response is reinforced if it differs from a specified number of previous responses
What is lag schedule
Signals punishment is available
What is SDP
Comparisons are made within a single data path as well as between data paths
What is combined series designs
The first test you run that tells you if there is a difference between one group and another group
What is Omnibus F
Cookies are in the oven and are unavailable for 10 minutes. If the kid asks for a cookie during that 10 minutes they will not get a cookie. Once the 10 minutes has passed the kid asks for a cookie and gets reinforced for asking.
What is fixed interval
Schedule used to study choice
What is concurrent schedule
Side effect of reinforcement, AND punishment
a) lying, conniving, cheating, stealing
b) escape and avoidance
c) ritualistic behavior
What is ritualistic behavior
Reversal design, withdrawal design, and changing criterion design are all examples of…
What is within series designs
Rejecting the null hypothesis when it is actually true (Stating there is a difference when there really is no difference)
What is type 1 error
Slot machines mimic this schedule of reinforcement
What is random ratio
Schedule that increases response requirement in the following pattern "2 → 4 → 8 → 16 → 32"
What is geometric progressive ratio schedule
Behavior approach that rejects the existence of private events
What is methodological behaviorism
Design typically used to decrease smoking habits
What is changing criterion design
Use when making all possible comparisons (including complex comparisons); this test sets the maximum value of alpha family wise at the alpha level you set for all comparisons
What is Scheffe Test
