QuestionAnswer
Applied Behavior Analysis Uses behavior principles to SOLVE PRACTICAL PROBLEMS such as the treatment of autism or improved teaching methods. Aka: behavioral engineering.
Behavior Everything organism does including covert actions like thinking
Behavioral neuroscience Scientific area that INTEGRATES the science of behavior (BEHAVIOR ANALYSIS) with the science of the brain (NEUROSCIENCE). Interested in: effects of drugs on behavior, and choice and neural activity
Behaviorism The scientific philosophy of behavior analysis
Conditioned reflex Naturally occurring reflexive response previously in an organism's repertoire that comes under the control of a stimulus
Culture Behavior analysts Define culture as ALL the CONDITIONS, EVENTS and STIMULI arranged BY other PEOPLE that REGULATE human ACTION.
Experimental analysis of behavior METHOD designed to DISCOVER the functional RELATION between BEHAVIOR and the VARIABLES that control it. Involves the breaking down of complex environment-behaviour relations into component principles of behavior.
Immediate causation An event (X) immediately preceding some occurrence (Y) is said to cause it if the event produces the results in the occurrence.
Law of effect Thorndike, refers to stamping in or out some response. Currently the law is stated as the principles of reinforcement: operants may be followed by consequences that increase or decrease the probability or write a response.
Learning Aquisition, maintenance, and change of an organism's behavior as a result of lifetime of events. Used to refer to transitional changes in behavior but conditions that maintain behavior and a steady state are also part of it.
Operant Behavior that operates on the environment to produce a change, effect, or consequence. That is, particular responses increase or decrease in a situation as a function of the consequences they produced in the past.
Operant conditioning An increase or decrease in operant response of the function of the consequences that have followed the response.
Private Behavior Behavior that is only accessible to the person who emits it
Reflex The relationship when an unconditioned stimulus elicits an unconditioned response
Remote causation Current status of some system is brought about or caused by the long-term interactions between the system in the universe of which it is a part.
Respondent Behavior that increases or decreases by the presentation of a conditioned stimulus (CS) that precedes a conditioned response (CR). Presence of CS regulates or controls CR. CR reliably occurs when the CS is present.
Respondent conditioning When organism responds to a new event based on the history of pairing with a biologically important stimulus. Pavlov and dogs. If a conditioned stimulus comes to regulate the occurrence of a conditioned response comma then RC has occurred.
Science of behavior -experimental approach to the study of behavior -primary objectives: discovery of principles and laws that govern Behavior, the extension of these principles over species, and the development of an applied technology
Selection by consequences Extension on principle reinforcement. An organism's repertoire of operant behaviour is altered by its environmental rating. The principle of causation for biology, behavior, and culture (natural selection is a form of this).
Trial-and-error learning A term coined by Thorndike, which housed to describe the results of his puzzle-box and maze-learning experiments. Animals were said to make fewer and fewer errors over repeated trials
