Verbals
Requests are to THIS as Tacts are to Labels
Mands
Everything a person says, thinks, feels, or does.
Behavior
A high-probability sequence is an example of this behavioral term
Behavior Momentum
The occurrence of a response is immediately followed by the termination, reduction, postponement, or avoidance of a stimuli leading to an increase in the future occurrence of similar responses
Negative Reinforcement
How often a behavior occurs
Frequency
Answering a WH questions is an example of this verbal operant
Intraverbal
A stimulus change that follows a behavior of interest
Consequence
S.E.A.T is a Mnemonic for what
The 4 functions of behavior
Sensory
Escape
Attention
Tangile
A response followed immediately by the presentation of a stimulus change that results in an increase of the future frequency of the behavior
Positive Reinforcement
Measurement of elapsed time from onset of response to end point.
Duration
A repone is evoked by a non-verbal stimulus and followed by generalized conditioned reinforcement
TACT
An environmental condition or stimulus change existing or occurring prior to a behavior of interest
Antecedent
It evokes operant behavior because its presence signals the availability of reinforcement
Behavioral effect associated with an abrubt increase in ratio requirements when moving to thinner reinforcement schedules
Ratio Strain
An experimental condition in which the independent variable is not present
Baseline
A vocal response that is evoked by a vocal verbal Sd which has formal similarities between an auditory verbal stimulus and an auditory verbal response
The portion of an organism’s interactions with its environment that involves movement of some part of the organism
Behavior
The state of an organism with respect to how much time has elapsed since it has consumed or contacted a particular type of reinforcer
Deprivation
Making the opportunity to engage in a high-probability behavior contingent on the occurrence of a low-frequency behavior will function as reinforcement for the low-frequency behavior
Premack Principle
The physical form or shape of a behavior
Topography
A response of any form that is evoked by an MO and followed by specific reinforcement
MAND
Antecedent, Behavior, and Consequence Make up this dynamic trio
Three-Term Contingency
A specific change in the dependent variable can be produced my manipulating the independent variable and that same change is unlikely to occur as a result of other factors
Environmental variable that alters the effectiveness of some stimuli and the frequency of behaviors associated with that stimulus
Motivating Operations
A measure of temporal locus
Latency
