| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Positive Reinforcement | __________ occurs when a behavior is followed immediately by the presentation of a stimulus that increases the future frequency of the behavior in similar conditions |
| Positive Reinforcer | A stimulus whose presentation or onset functions as reinforcement |
| Automatic Reinforcement | reinforcement that occurs independent of social mediation of others |
| Unconditioned Reinforcer | A stimulus change that increases the frequency of any behavior that immediately precedes it irrespective of the organism’s learning history with the stimulus; a product of the evolutionary development of the species (phylogeny) |
| Conditioned Reinforcer | A stimulus change that functions as a reinforcer because of prior pairing with one or more other reinforcers |
| Generalized Conditioned Reinforcer | A conditioned reinforcer that as a result of having been paired with many other reinforcers does not depend on an EO for any particular form of reinforcement for its effectiveness |
| Premack Principle | A principle that states that making the opportunity to engage in a high-probability behavior contingent on the occurrence of a low-frequency behavior will function as reinforcement for the low-frequency behavior |
| Response-Deprivation Hypothesis | A model for predicting whether contingent access to one bx will function as reinforcement for engaging in another bx based on whether access to the contingent behavior represents a restriction of the activity compared to the BL level of engagement |
| Stimulus Preference Assessment | A variety of procedures used to determine the stimuli that a person prefers, the relative preferences values of those stimuli, the conditions under which those preference values remain in effect, and their presumed value as reinforcers |
| Reinforcer Assessment | __________ refers to a variety of direct, empirical methods for presenting one or more stimuli contingent on a target response and measuring their effectiveness as reinforcers |
| Paired stimuli presentation method aka Forced choice method | Involves presenting 1 stimulus and recording which one they choose, trials are repeated until each stimulus is compared to each of the other stimuli |
| Free-operant assessment | Stimuli are available without restrictions or prompts and total duration of engagement with each stimulus is recorded |
| Single stimulus presentation method | Involves presenting one stimulus at a time to an individual and recording the frequency with which the individual approaches or rejects the stimulus or the duration with which they interact with it |
| Multiple stimuli presentation method | Groups of stimuli are presented simultaneously and may or may not be replaced in subsequent trials |
| Progressive-ratio schedule of reinforcement | Different stimuli are delivered contingent on a progressive, or increasing number, of responses. Thus, the more potent reinforcer is the one that produces the highest number of responses before reaching the breaking point |
| Multiple schedule of reinforcement | Consists of 2 or more component schedules of Sr+ for a single R with only one component in effect at any given time. A SD signals the presence of each schedule. The more powerful Sr+ is the one assoc with the session with the highest rate of the target bx |
| Concurrent schedule of reinforcement | Delivers different reinforcers for different bxs. All contingencies are available at the same time and the more potent reinforcer is the one whose associated behavior occurs at the highest rate |
