Reinforcement
The presentation of a stimulus after a behavior to increase its future occurrence is called?
Positive Reinforcement
Taking away a toy after a child hits a peer is an example of what type of punishment? (This decreases hitting in the future)
Negative punishment
Reinforcing an alternative behavior while withholding reinforcement for problem behavior is what type of differential reinforcement schedule?
DRA
This learning process occurs when a previously neutral stimulus becomes capable of eliciting a response after being paired with an unconditioned stimulus.
Respondent Conditioning
A stimulus that signals reinforcement is available is called?
This reinforcement schedule presents a reinforcer after every correct response.
Continuous reinforcement (FR1)
Delivering a reprimand after yelling is what kind of punishment? (This decreases yelling in the future)
Positive punishment
This differential reinforcement strategy involves delivering reinforcement only when the target behavior does not occur during a specified interval of time.
What are the four primary functions of behavior?
Attention, tangible, automatic, escape
A stimulus that signals reinforcement is not available is called?
Sdelta
This type of reinforcement occurs when a behavior produces a reinforcing consequence without the involvement of another person.
automatic reinforcement
This process reduces behavior by no longer providing the reinforcing consequence.
Extinction
Teaching a behavior in small steps by reinforcing successive approximations and placing previously responses on extinction is known as?
Shaping
A child greets all adults by saying “Hi!” even if they haven’t met them. What kind of generalization is this?
Stimulus generalization
Behavior that occurs more often in the presence of a specific stimulus is under what kind of control?
Stimulus Control
A child stops cleaning when their parent nags them. Nagging stops. Cleaning increases. What type of reinforcement?
What do we call it when behavior temporarily increases after extinction begins?
Extinction burst
Teaching a complex skill by breaking it into components and teaching them in order is called?
Chaining
This concept refers to the gradual change in behavior across different situations, settings, or people after initial training, without additional teaching or reinforcement.
Generalization
A state of deprivation that increases the effectiveness of a reinforcer is what kind of operation?
Establishing Operation
This foundational concept in operant conditioning describes how a specific antecedent signals the opportunity for a behavior, which is then followed by a consequence that influences future behavior.
three-term contingency (Antecedent–Behavior–Consequence)?
This type of punishment procedure involves the removal of a preferred stimulus following a behavior, leading to a decrease in the likelihood of that behavior occurring again.
Response cost
This self-management technique involves an individual recording their own behavior and using that data to prompt self-reinforcement or self-punishment, typically with the aim of altering behavior in the absence of a therapist.
Self-monitoring
What are the three primary characteristics of visual analysis?
Level, trend, variability
A motivating operation that decreases the effectiveness of a reinforcer is called?
Abolishing operation
