ABA SAFMEDS
Applied Behavior Analysis SAFMEDS terms
| 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 |
