| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Shaping | Developmet of a new behavior by the reinforcement of succussive approximations of that behavior and the extinction of earlier approximations of that behavior until new behavior occurs |
| Fading | gradual change over successive trials of an antecedent stimulus that controls a response so that the response eventually occures to a partially changed or new stimulus |
| Topography | spicific movements involved |
| Frequency | number of instances that occur in given period of time |
| Duration | length of time a response lasts |
| Latency | time between occurrence of a stimulus and response evoked by that stimulus |
| Intensity | force of a response; physical effect the response has on teh environment |
| Prompt | A supplemental antecedent stimulus provided to increase the likelihood that a desired behavior will occur, but that is not the final desired stimulus to control that behavior |
| Forward chaining method | teached the initial step of the sequences first, then teaches and links together the first and second steps, then the first three steps and so on until the entire chain is acquired |
| Backward chaining method | the last step is taught first, then the next-to-last step is taught and linked to the last step, and so on, progressing backward toward the beigining of the chain |
| Total-task Presentation Method | individual attempts all of the steps from beggining to the end of chain on each trial until that person learns the chain. |
| Behavioral Chain (stimulus response chain) | Consistent sequence of stimuli and responses that occure closely to each other in time and in which the last reponse is typically followed by reinforcement. |
| Task Analysis | Process of breaking down a task into smaller steps or component responses of facilitate training |
| Extra-stimulus prompts | Something is added to environment to make a correct response more likely. |
| Within-Stimulus prompts | an alteration of the S^D or the S^square to make their characteristics more noticeable and therefore earier to discriminate. |
