Verbal Behavior
This term describes behavior where reinforcement is mediated through a specifically trained listener.
What is verbal behavior?
This is the term for when behavior is under control of a description of a contingency, as opposed to the direct result of a behavior.
What is rule governance?
This schedule provides reinforcement for every response. It is commonly found in nature.
What is CR or FR1?
True or False: concurrent contingencies are in place most of the time.
What is true?
What is positive reinforcement
In VB, the individual who emits the verbal response and makes conditional discriminations based on audience characteristics.
Who is the speaker?
This term describes behavior that is directly controlled by direct experience with reinforcement and punishment.
What is direct-acting contingency?
This schedule results in a scallop pattern in rates of responding.
What is an FI/fixed interval schedule?
This type of concurrent contingency is when an organism can engage in multiple responses at once.
What are compatible responses?
Name the behavior analytic procedure: Billy has a history of throwing tantrums when told to clean up. I ensure that he cleans up when he throws a tantrum, but let him postpone cleaning up if he says "not yet please."
In VB, this individual mediates reinforcement and makes conditional discrimations based on another's verbal behavior.
Who is the listener?
This is the kind of contingency where the outcome of the response is not the maintaining consequence.
What is an indirect-acting contingency?
This schedule results in consistent responding with a pronounced post-reinforcement pause.
What is a fixed ratio/FR schedule?
This type of concurrent contingency occurs when a single response contacts multiple reinforcers.
What are compatible contingencies?
Name the behavior analytic procedure: Suzanne is learning to make mac & cheese. Her behavior analyst completes all of the steps until the last one, then has Suzanne perform that step. Once she can do the last step, the behavior analyst teaches her the next to last step.
What is backward chaning.
This type of verbal behavior is under stimulus control of a motivating operation and is maintained by delivery of a specific reinforcer.
What is a mand?
After a deadline has passed, an organism is no longer able to contact reinforcement for a response. The organism is then an _______ period.
What is s-delta?
This type of schedule occurs when reinforcement is available for the first response after a set amount of time has passed.
What is an FI/Fixed Interval schedule?
This type of concurrent contingency is when two responses cannot co-occur.
What are incompatible responses?
What is discrimination training?
This type of verbal behavior has formal similarity as well as point to point correspondence with the SD controlling the response, and is maintained by generalized conditioned reinforcement.
What is a duplic?
This kind of verbal behavior provides a rule for future performance.
What is feedback?
My dog receives a treat on average every third time he comes when called. Sometimes he receives treats after one or two correct responses, sometimes he receives them after four or five. "Coming when called" is on this kind of schedule of reinforcement.
What is a variable ratio schedule?
An example of this type of concurrent contingency is that a child will receive aversive stimulation in the form of a reprimand and appetitive stimulation in the form of peer attention for telling rude jokes in class.
What are incompatible contingencies.
Name the behavior analytic procedure: Jenny has been texting with a guy she thought she wanted to date. She typically responded to every message. She thinks about putting his messaging on extinction, but sometimes responds anyways despite her best intentions. (Hint: it's a schedule of reinforcement)
