Definition
Term
a response which is reinforced in the presence of a particular discriminative stimulus occurs in the presence of a different discriminative stimulus   stimulus generalization  
🗑
the horizontal (X) axis of a graph on which the units of time are usually indicated   abscissa  
🗑
a sequence of responses in which the completion of each response acts as 1) a discriminative stimulus for the next response int he sequence and 2) a conditioned reinforcer for the preceding response in the sequence   stimulus-response chain  
🗑
each occurence of a response is reinforced   Continuous Reinforcement Schedule (CRF=FR-1)  
🗑
reinforcer is presented contingent upon the occurence of a fixed (or specific) number of responses   fixed ratio  
🗑
a stimulus that follows a response   consequence  
🗑
the effect of 1) increasing the probability of a response through the presentation of an Sd or 2) decreasing the probability of a response through the presentation of an S-delta (both effects are the result of discrimination training)   stimulus control  
🗑
a stimulus that has no effect on responding   neutral stimulus (NS)  
🗑
behavior which is controlled by stimuli which precede the behavior (anteceedents) and which follow the behavior (consequences)   operant behavior  
🗑
immediately following (as a result of something prior)   contingent  
🗑
reinforcement of a higher rate of a behavior in order to increase the probability of the response   Differential Reinforcement of High Rate Behavior (DRH)  
🗑
reinforcement of a lower rate of behavior in order to decrease the probability of the response   Differential Reinforcement of Low Rate Behavior (DRL)  
🗑
not every occurence of a response is reinforced   Intermittent Reinforcement Schedule  
🗑
the vertical (Y) axis of a graph on which responses are usually indicated   ordinate  
🗑
the first response to occur after a variable (or average) ammount of time is reinforced   Variable Interval (VI)  
🗑
A stimulus which inherently elicits an unconditioned response   Unconditioned Stimulus (US)  
🗑
a set of responses with at least one thing in common (topographically similar or have similar effects on the environment)   response class  
🗑
an observeable behavior which can be detected through one or more of the senses: sight, hearing, taste, smell, or touch   response  
🗑
reinforcement of any behavior except the behavior one is trying to decrease   Differential Reinforcement of Other Behavior (DRO)  
🗑
the breaking down of a complex skill into its component observeable response. In addition, a task analysis should include a clear behavioral objective and assumed prerequisite skills   Task Analysis  
🗑
any object of event which can be percieved through one's senses (sight, hearing, smell, taste, or touch)   Stimulus  
🗑
a stimulus change (the presentation or removal of a stimulus) contingent upon a response which increases the future probability of the respnse   reinforcement  
🗑
a response occurs after it is first established   maintenance (retention or generalization across time)  
🗑
a stimulus which preceeds a response   antecedent  
🗑
reinforcement of one or more behaviors which are physically incompatible with the behavior one is trying to decrease   Differential Reinforcement of Incompatible Behavior (DRI)  
🗑
The response pattern and movement through space   topography  
🗑
successive approximations to a terminal (goal) behavior   shaping  
🗑
a stimulus that gains its reinforcing effect by being paired with one or more reinforcers   conditioned or secondary reinforcer  
🗑
the pairing of a neutral stimulus with an unconditioned stimulus until the neutral stimulus becomes a conditioned stimulus eliciting a conditioned response   respondent conditioning  
🗑
a decrease in reinforcer strength as a result of the reinforcer being presented frequently in a relatively short period of time   satiation  
🗑
reinforcing a particular response results in other responses (in the same response class) occuring more frequently   response generalization  
🗑
a stimulus is presented contingent upon response which increases the future probability of the response   positive reinforcement  
🗑
a stimulus which elicits a conditioned response through having been paired with an unconditioned simulus   Conditioned Stimulus (CS)  
🗑
a stimulus is removed contingent upon a response which increases the future probability of the response   negative reinforcement  
🗑
engaging in response which prevents or postpones the onset of an aversive stimulus   avoidance  
🗑
engaging in a response which terminates an aversive stimulus   escape  
🗑
a set of stimuli with at least one common characteristic (also known as a concept)   stimulus class  
🗑
probable reinforcers are removed contingent upon a response   response cost procedure  
🗑
stimulus that gains its reinforcing effect by being paired with several reinforcers   generalized conditioned reinforcer  
🗑
reinforcer is presented contingent upon the occurence of a variable (or average) number of responses   variable ratio  
🗑
the first response to occur after a fixed (or specific) ammount of time is reinforced   fixed interval (FI)  
🗑
any supplemental stimulus, such as physical assistance, verbal cue, or model, used to evoke a respose   prompt  
🗑
gradual removal of prompts such that the behavior becomes under the control of the original discriminative stimulus alone   fading  
🗑
a stimulus change (the presentation or removal of a stimulus) contingent upon a response which decreases the future probability of the response   punishment  
🗑
if engaging in a high rate behavior is contingent upon engaging in a low rate behavior, then the low rate behavior will be reinforced (increased in rate)   Premack Principle  
🗑
a stimulus that is inherently reinforcing   unconditioned (primary/ unlearned) reinforcer  
🗑
withholding of reinforcement for a previously reinforced response which decreases the future probability of the response   extinction  
🗑
engaging in a behavior which changes the probability of another one's own behavior   self-control  
🗑
a stimulus which is unpleasant or painful   aversive stimulus  
🗑
a response which is elicited (without previous conditioning history) by an unconditioned stimulus   Unconditioned Response (UR)  
🗑
reinforcing a particular response and witholding reinforcement for (extinguishing) all other responses   Differential Reinforcement  
🗑
the behavior elicited by an unconditioned stimulus or conditioned stimulus   respondent behavior  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
