The science of human behavior where tactics derived from principles of behavior are applied to improve socially significant behavior and experimentation is used to identify the variables responsible for its improvement
What is ABA
100
The presence or absence of stimuli that alters behavior
What is stimulus control
100
The total extent of time that a behavior has occurred
What is duration
100
A neutral stimulus paired with an unconditioned stimulus
What is a conditioned stimulus
100
A situation that differs in some way from the instructional setting and in which performance of the target behavior is desired
What is generalization setting
200
Philosophical position that views behavioral events that can't be publicly observed outside the realm of science
What is Methodological Behaviorism
200
An example which watering plants without a speed schedule so that they don't die
What is Free Operant Avoidance
200
A ratio of count per observation time
What is rate/frequency
200
Does not have to the relation between behavior and reinforcing consequences; does not know that a consequence has occurred
What is Automaticity
200
The instruction that allows the learner to practice in various stimulus conditions
What is multiple exemplar training?
300
View that explains behavior where an "inner" dimension exists
What is Mentalism
300
The motivating operation sets the occasion for the antecedent
What is MO-A-B-C (4 Term Contingency)
300
The method that measures behavior after it has occurred by recording effects produced in the environment by the behavior of interest
What are permanent products
300
A procedure that increases the effectiveness of a reinforcer
What is Deprivation
300
A measurement of performance of a behavior of interest where direct training has not been provided
What is a generalization probe?
400
Summary that describes the occurrence of the phenomena under study as a function of the operation of one or more specified and controlled variables can be produced by manipulating another event
What is a Functional Relation
400
The reinforcement for every correct response
What is continuous reinforcement
400
Recording if the behavior has occurred at any time during each time interval
What is partial-interval recording
400
The discontinuing of a reinforcement of a previously reinforced behavior
What is Extinction?
400
Ability to achieve the acquisition, maintenance, and/or generalization of a targeted behavior change
What is contrived contingency?
500
Behaviorism form that attempts to understand all human behavior, including private events, in terms of its controlling variables
What is Radical Behaviorism
500
The primary reinforcer(s)
What are unconditioned reinforcers
500
A variation of momentary time sampling; measure of group behavior
What is a planned activity check
500
Altering the effectiveness of a reinforcer by increasing or decreasing an environmental variable
What is Motivating Operation
500
An interrelated community of contingencies producing long lasting behavior changes
