| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| 2 Variable attributes of antecedents | Can be either outside or within the skin of the organism, can be social or non-social |
| 2 Basic types of antecedents | Discriminative Stimuli (SD) and Motivating Operations (MOs) |
| Unconditioned motivating operation | A motivating operation whose value-altering effect does not depend on a learning history |
| Conditioned motivating operation | A motivating operation whose value-altering effect depends on a learning history |
| 2 Types of effects antecedents have on behavior | Evocative (evoke behavior) or Abative (abate behavior) |
| Operant conditioning | The basic process by which operant learning occurs |
| Evocative Effect | n increase in the momentary frequency of a response class now, under the current conditions |
| Abative Effect | A decrease in the momentary frequency of a response class now, under the current conditions |
| Differential reinforcement | Reinforcing only those responses within a response class that meet a specific criterion along some dimension(s) and placing all other responses in the class on extinction |
| Differentiation | When differential reinforcement consists of reinforcing some responses and not reinforcing other responses |
| Discrimination | When differential reinforcement consists of reinforcing a response when certain stimuli are present and not reinforcing the same response when those stimuli are not present. |
| Stimulus Control (Discriminative Control) | The tendency of behavior to occur more frequently in the presence of a particular stimulus because the behavior has been reinforced only or mostly in the presence of that stimulus |
| Discriminated Operant | An operant class that is established through the process of differential reinforcement with respect to the presence or absence of antecedent stimuli |
| Discriminative stimulus (S D ) | An antecedent stimulus that evokes or abates a specific behavior, due to a past history of differential availability of reinforcement or punishment for that behavior, dependent on their presence versus their absence |
| 4 Basic types of Discriminative Stimuli | S D for reinforcement S D for extinction S D for punishment S D for withholding punishment |
| SD for SR | Discriminative stimulus for reinforcement; Evokes behavior because in the past that behavior has been reinforced in its presence. |
| SΔ for 🚫SR | Discriminative stimulus for extinction; Abates behavior because in the past that behavior has NOT been reinforced in its presence. |
| SDP for SP | Discriminative stimulus for punishment; Abates behavior because in the past that behavior has been punished in its presence. |
| SΔP for 🚫SP | Discriminative stimulus for withholding punishment; Evokes behavior because in the past that behavior has NOT been punished in its presence. |
| SDR+ | Discriminative Stimulus for Positive Reinforcement |
| SDR- | Discriminative Stimulus for Negative Reinforcement |
| SΔR+ | Discriminative Stimulus for extinction of behavior maintained by positive reinforcement |
| SΔR- | Discriminative Stimulus for extinction of behavior maintained by negative reinforcement |
| SDP+ | Discriminative Stimulus for Positive Punishment |
| SDP- | Discriminative Stimulus for Negative Punishment |
| SΔP+ | Discriminative Stimulus for Unavailability of Positive Punishment |
| SΔP- | Discriminative Stimulus for Unavailability of Negative Punishment |
| Conditional Discrimination | A discrimination in which reinforcing a response is contingent (conditional) on another stimulus. |
| Stimulus Generalization | The tendency of a learned response to occur in the presence of stimuli which were not present during training but either have some similar physical properties to the S D or have been associated with the S D |
