| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| the reliable or predictable performance of a behavior when particular stimuli are present and the absence of that behavior when those stimuli are absent | stimulus control |
| How do we acquire stimulus control? | differential reinforcement |
| systematic and contingent presentation of a reinforcer follwoing a desired behavior and the withholding or providing less of a reinforcer when the behavior does not occur. Through repeated presentation, stimulus control is established | differential reinforcement |
| a stimulus in the presence of which some types of responses have been reinforced and in the absence of which the same types of responses have occured and not been reinforced; this history of differential reinforcement is the reason an S-Dee increases the | anteceedent stimulus (SD) |
| a stimulus in the prescence of which a given behavior has not produced reinforcement | S- Delta |
| an environmental variable that a) alters the reinforcing effectiveness of some stimulus, object, or event; and b) alters the current frequency of behavior that have been reinforced by that stimulus object or event | motivating operations |
| when different stimuli do not evoke the same response | stimulus discrimination |
| multiple stimulus evoke the same response | stimulus generalization |
| a group of stimulus that evoke the same response | stimulus class/ concept |
| all items in class have a similar feature i.e. different types of dogs | feature stimulus class |
| items that do not look topographically similar i.e . 2, two, .. | arbitrary stimulus class |
| group of responses that are considered equivalent i.e.2 quarters, 5 dimes, 10 nickels | response class |
| a set of stimuli that share relevent charachteristics; requires both stimulus generalization within a class of stimuli and discrimination between classes of stimuli; | concept |
