Occurs when a stimulus change immediately follows a response and increases the future frequency of that type of behavior in similar conditions
What is Reinforcement
100
A stimulus change that increases the future frequency of the behavior that immediately precedes it.
What is Reinforcer
100
When some instances of the behavior are reinforced
What is Intermittent
100
A preference assessment that presents the learner with two stimuli to select from
What is a paired stimuli/forced choice assessment
100
A procedure used to determine how effective a stimulus was at increasing the frequency of a target behavior
What is a reinforcer assessment
200
When a behavior is immediately followed by the presentation of a stimulus that increases the future frequency of the behavior
What is Positive Reinforcement
200
A stimulus change that functions as reinforcement, and the learner had no learning history with it
What is Unconditioned Reinforcer (Primary)
200
When all instances of the behavior are reinforced
What is Continuous
200
The category of preference assessments that measure duration of engagement with stimuli in the environment
What is a free operant assessment?
200
A schedule combining multiple schedules of reinforcement, either simultaneously or successively
What is a compound schedule of reinforcement?
300
Removing an event or stimulus immediately following a response that increases the future frequency of the behavior
What is Negative Reinforcement
300
a previously neutral stimulus that has been taught and paired to function as a reinforcer
What is a conditioned reinforcer (secondary)
300
Presence of high rates of responding, with a post-reinforcement pause
What is Fixed Ratio Schedule
300
A preference assessment involving many stimuli presented at the same time where each stimulus is put back into the array with the potential to be selected again
What is a MSWO (multiple stimulus without replacement)
300
The only measure that can distinguish a reinforcer from a preferred stimulus
What is the increase in rate of responding/behavior?
400
A parent is potty training their child. Each time the child produces in the toilet, the child will receive an m&m.
What is Positive Reinforcement
400
Food, Water, Oxygen
What is unconditioned reinforcers
400
Presence of low rates of responding, post reinforcement pause with accelerating rate of responding as interval progresses
What is Fixed Interval Schedule
400
An assessment performed in a sequential and trial by trial manner to determine a potential reinforcer
What is a formal preference assessment?
400
A schedule of reinforcement that can be used in assessing a reinforcer. This schedule changes systematically over time.
What is a progressive schedule of reinforcement?
500
Your morning alarm turns on and it is extremely loud, you turn it off, and the loud noise goes away.
What is Negative Reinforcement
500
Social praise, tangibles, activities, money,
What is Conditioned Reinforcers (Secondary)
500
What type of reinforcement schedule is used in maintenance and discrimination procedures
What is Variable Ratio Schedule
500
A best guess as to what might be a reinforcer for an individual
What is a preference assessment?
500
More than one schedule of reinforcement operating at the same time, which can be used as a reinforcer assessment
