QuestionAnswer
anticipatory contrast The process whereby the rate of response varies inversely with an upcoming ("anticipated") change in the rate of reinforcement.
behavioral contrast A change in the rate of _reinforcement_ on one component of a multiple schedule produces an opposite change in the rate of _response_ on another component.
delayed matching-to-sample An experimental procedure in which the animal is first shown a sample stimulus and then, following some delay, is required to select that stimulus out of a group of alternative stimuli.
differential reinforcement of incompatible behavior (DRI) The behavior being reinforced is incompatible with the behavior being extinguished.
differential reinforcement of other behavior (DRO) Reinforcement of any behavior other than a target behavior that is being extinguished.
discrimination training As applied to operant conditioning, the differential reinforcement of responding in the presence of one stimulus (the SD) and not another.
discriminative stimulus for extinction (S∆) A stimulus that signals the absence of reinforcement.
errorless discrimination training A discrimination training procedure that minimizes the number of errors (i.e., nonreinforced responses to the S∆) and reduces many of the adverse effects associated with discrimination training.
extinction The nonreinforcement of a previously reinforced response, the result of which is a decrease in the strength of that response.
extinction burst A temporary increase in the frequency and intensity of responding when extinction is first implemented.
extinction burst, increase in variability, emotional behavior, aggression, resurgence, depression Side effects of extinction. (6)
fading The process of gradually altering the intensity of a stimulus.
functional communication training Training to communicate one's desires clearly and appropriately.
generalization gradient A graphic description of the strength of responding in the presence of stimuli that are similar to the SD and vary along a continuum.
multiple schedule A complex schedule consisting of two or more independent schedules presented in sequence, each resulting in reinforcement and each having a distinctive SD.
negative behavioral contrast The process whereby an increase in the rate of reinforcement on one component of a multiple schedule produces a decrease in the rate of response on the other component.
partial reinforcement effect The process whereby behavior that has been maintained on an intermittent (partial) schedule of reinforcement extinguishes more slowly than behavior that has been maintained on a continuous schedule.
peak shift effect Following discrimination training, the peak of a generalization gradient will shift from the SD to a stimulus that is further removed from the S∆.
positive behavioral contrast The process whereby a decrease in rate of reinforcement on one component of a multiple schedule produces an increase in the rate of response on the other component.
regression The reappearance of immature behavior in reaction to frustration or conflict.
resistance to extinction The extent to which responding persists after an extinction procedure has been implemented.
resurgence The reappearance during extinction of other behaviors that had once been effective in obtaining reinforcement.
schedule of reinforcement (partial, VR), history, magnitude, degree of deprivation, previous experience with extinction, distinctive signal for extinction Factors affecting resistance to extinction. (6)
spontaneous recovery The reappearance of an extinguished response following a rest period after extinction.
stimulus control A situation in which the presence of a discriminative stimulus reliably affects the probability of a behavior.
stimulus discrimination In operant conditioning, the tendency for an operant response to be emitted more in the presence of one stimulus than another.
stimulus generalization In operant conditioning, the tendency for an operant response to be emitted in the presence of a stimulus that is similar to an SD.

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
