JKP Unit 3
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Automaticity | Reinforcement works without the need for verbal mediation |
| Automatic | Direct action on the environment of the response |
| Socially mediated | Consequence delivered by responding of another organism |
| Positive reinforcement | stimulus presented or magnified following response,increases or maintains future frequency |
| Premack Principle | high probability behavior reinforce low probability behavior and low probability behavior punish high probability behavior |
| Unconditioned reinforcer | Stimulus usually reinforcing without prior learning |
| Conditioned reinforcer | Stimulus initially has no reinforcing properties;acquires through pairing unconditioned reinforcer |
| Generalized conditioned reinforcers | Conditioned reinforcer paired with variety other reinforcers, effective for wide range of behaviors |
| Avoidance | Behavior terminates warning stimulus |
| Negative reinforcement | stimulus removed following response,increases or maintains future frequency of behavior. |
| Escape | Behavior terminates aversive stimulus |
| warning stimulus | Conditioned aversive stimulus whose presence is correlated with upcoming onset of unconditioned aversive stimulus |
| Operant Extinction | previously reinforced behavior weakened by withholding reinforcement |
| Extinction Burst | Short term effect of extinction: increase in frequency or magnitude,topography change and emotional responding |
| Extinction is NOT (name 3) | 1) decrease in rate regardless of procedure 2) Due to lack of opportunity respond 3) Passage of time |
| Sensory Extinction | Masking sensory consequences of behavior |
| Spontaneous recovery | Sudden temporary reappearance of behavior following extinction. |
| Recovery from punishment | previously punished behavior strengthened by withholding punishment |
| Negative Punishment | stimulus is withdrawn, removed or attenuated following response, decreases future frequency of behavior. |
| Positive Punishment | stimulus presented or magnified following response, decreases future frequency of behavior. |
| Punishment | stimulus change follows response, decreases future frequency of behavior. |
| consequential operations | Presenting; withdrawing; withholding stimulus after response. |
| Thorndike’s main contribution | Law of Effect |
| BF Skinner’s contributions (name 3) | EAB; Operant chamber; Cumulative Record;Radical Behaviorism |
| Operant Behavior | Acts on environment results from movement of skeletal frames |
| Reinforcement | environmental change following response increases/maintains future frequency of behavior. |
| Reinforcement is descriptive | not explanatory term! |
