100

A reinforcement that requires a learning history.

Conditioned/ Secondary Reinforcer

100

A discriminative stimulus is

A signal that reinforcement is available and something in the environment that can evoke a behavior.

200

The time from the SD to the beginning of the response. 

Latency 

200

Variability 

300

Occurs when a behavior is followed immediately by presenting a stimulus the increases the future frequency of the behavior occurring again. 

Positive Reinforcement 

300

A one time trial to correctly perform a task or answer a question before inter-trial interval and before the beginning of a new trial. 

Discrete Trial Training 

400

The time between the end of a response or behavior to the start of the next behavior.

1. Deprivation 2.Contingency 3. Immediacy 4. Size

400

The process of visually inspecting graphed data to understand how treatment is affecting the target behavior.

Visual Analysis 

400

Occurs when a behavior is followed by the immediate removal of a stimulus to decrease the future frequency of the behavior occurring again.
