Cog & Behav Theories
Covers cognitive and behavioral therapies terms as it relates to the LMSW Exam.
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Behavioral Therapy | This therapy's success is contingent upon the client's commitment to change and effective client/counselor interaction. |
| Classical Conditioning | This theory was created by Ivan Pavlov. |
| Applied Behavior Analysis Theory | This type of behavioral theory focuses on actual behavior rather than cognitive processes and sees behavior as a function of its consequences. (This term is 4 words long) |
| Neuro Behavioristic Stimulus Response Therapy | This type of behavioral therapy focuses on systematic desensitization and covert conditioning and is concerned with extinguishing causes of anxiety. (This term is 5 words long). |
| Social Learning Theory | This type of behavioral therapy views current behaviors, cognitive processes, and the environment as working together to influence behavior and stresses mediation, external stimuli, and external reinforcement. |
| Cognitive Behavior Modification Therapy | This type of behavioral therapy aims at cognitive restructuring and emphasizes altering irrational ideas, perceptions, and interpretations of experiences. |
| Biofeedback | A clinical technique used to help a person learn to relax by monitoring muscle tension, heart rate, brainwave activity, or other body activities. |
| Contingency Contracts | This is often presented in the form of a chart or table that lists desired behaviors and provides a space for noting whether the desired behaviors were achieved. It describes the conditions that must be met for the individual to be rewarded. |
| Extinction | In classical conditioning, the decrease in response resulting from repeated presentation of the conditioned stimulus without the presence of the unconditioned stimulus. |
| Positive Reinforcement | Increasing behaviors by presenting positive stimuli, such as candy, when the desired behavior is performed. |
| Premack Principle | Principle that a less frequently performed behavior can be increased in frequency by reinforcing it with a more frequent behavior |
| Token Economy | An operant conditioning procedure in which people earn a token of some sort for exhibiting a desired behavior and can later exchange the tokens for various privileges or treats. |
| Contiguity Theory | Guthrie's idea that learning depends on a stimulus and response occurring together in time rather than depending on reinforcement. |
| Classical Conditioning | This theory confirms the crucial part that antecedents play in learned behavior. |
| Classical Conditioning | This theory is commonly used to treat phobias, anxieties, and aberrant behavior. |
| Respondent Conditioning | B.F. Skinner later changed the name Classical Conditioning to....... |
| Stimulus Generalization | Process by which a conditioned response becomes associated with a stimulus that is similar but not identical to the original conditioned stimulus. |
| Counter Conditioning | A behavior therapy procedure that conditions new responses to stimuli that trigger unwanted behaviors; based on classical conditioning |
| Systemic Desensitization | A type of exposure therapy that associates a pleasant relaxed state with gradually increasing anxiety-triggering stimuli. Commonly used to treat phobias. |
| Reciprocal Inhibition | If a response inhibitory to anxiety occurs in the presence of anxiety-evoking stimuli, it weakens the connection between the stimuli and the anxiety. This is called: |
| Operant Conditioning | This theory was created by B.F Skinner. |
| Operant Conditioning | This theory uses consequences to alter the form and frequency of behavior, focusing on modifying voluntary behavior. |
| Negative Reinforcement | In Operant Condition, the increasing behaviors by removing a stimuli. (Note: This is not to be confused with punishment.) |
| Punishment | In Operant Condition, an event that decreases the behavior that it follows. |
| Positive Punishment | In Operant Condition, this term is used to explain how a behavior is followed immediately by the presentation of a stimulus that decreases the future frequency of the behavior works. (Adding a negative stimuli) |
| Negative Punishment | In Operant Condition, this term is used to explain how decreasing behavior by stopping or reducing positive stimuli works. (Subtracting a positive stimuli) |
| Fixed Interval | In Operant Conditioning , this is a type of partial reinforcement. Rewards are provided after a specified time interval has passed. |
| Variable Interval | In Operant Conditioning , this is a type of partial reinforcement. Rewards are provided after a unpredictable time interval has passed. |
| Fixed Ratio | In Operant Conditioning , this is a type of reward system in which rewards are delivered following a specific number of behaviors |
| Variable Ratio | In Operant Conditioning , this is a type of partial reinforcement. Rewards are provided after an unpredictable number of responses. |
| Satiation | In Operant Conditioning , this is a decrease in the frequency of operant behavior presumed to be the result of continued contact with a reinforcer that has followed that behavior. The client is no longer "hungry" for the stimuli. |
| Immediacy | In Operant Conditioning , this is a closeness in time that a feedback is given in response to a behavior. |
| Size | In Operant Conditioning , this is the determination the client makes about whether the behavior is worth the effort. It weighs positive and negative consequences. |
| Jacobson Method | In Operant Conditioning , this is a progressive relaxation therapy technique that focuses on tightening and relaxing certain muscles in a certain sequence |
| Law of Effect | Thorndike's principle that behaviors followed by favorable consequences become more likely, and that behaviors followed by unfavorable consequences become less likely. |
| Differential Reinforcement | In Operant Conditioning , this is a process that combines extinction of unwanted behavior and positive reinforcement for desirable behavior. |
| Vicarious Conditioning | In Operant Conditioning , this is a conditioning of a reflex response or emotion by watching the reaction of another person |
| Primary Vicarious Conditioning | In Operant Conditioning , this is when an observer sees the models behavior reinforced and then performs the same behavior, this is called..... |
| Secondary Vicarious Conditioning | In Operant Conditioning , this occurs when symbolic representations of behavior and it's consequences are absorbed through reading, looking at maps or other images or from a verbalized description. This is called...... |
| Avoidance Learning | In Operant Conditioning , this is a process by which one learns to perform a behavior in order to ensure that a negative or aversive stimulus will not be present. |
| Noncontingent Reinforcement | In Operant Conditioning , this is a procedure in which stimuli with known reinforcing properties are presented on a fixed-time (FT) or variable-time (VT) schedules completely independent of behavior; often used as an antecedent. |
| Maturation Theory | Not to be confused with Erikson's version of this theory, Arnold Gesell used this theory to explain that genetic inheritance is internally controlling human development against an environmental backdrop. |
| Brief Therapy | Seeing the past as less important and the present as the primary focus, this therapy focuses on specific problems within a limited time frame. |
| Cognitive Therapy | The primary target of this therapy is identification of negative or distorted automatic thoughts. |
| Schemas | In Cognitive Therapy, this term is coined to explain concepts or mental frameworks that organize and interpret information. |
