| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Behavioral Contrast | The phenomenon in which a change in one component of a multiple schedule that increases or decreases the rate of responding on that component is accompanied by change in the response rate in the opposite direction on the other |
| Conditioned Punisher | A previously neutral stimulus change that functions as a punisher because of prior pairing with one or more other punishers; sometimes called secondary or learned punisher. (Compare with unconditioned punisher.) |
| Discriminative Stimulus For Punishment | Sdp. Stimulus condition in the presence of which a response has a lower probability of occurrence than it does in its absence as a result of response-contingent punishment delivery in the presence of the stimulus. |
| Generalized Conditioned Punisher | A stimulus change that |
| Negative Punishment | A response behavior is followed immediately by the removal of a stimulus (or a decrease in the intensity of the stimulus) that decreases the future frequency of similar responses under similar conditions; sometimes called Type II punishment. (Contrast with positive punishment). |
| Overcorrection | A behavior change tactic based on positive punishment in which |
| Positive Practice Overcorrection | A form of overcorrection in which |
| Positive Punishment | A behavior is followed immediately by the presentation of a stimulus that decreases the future frequency of the behavior; sometimes called Type I punishment. (Contrast with negative punishment) |
| Punisher | A stimulus change that decreases the future frequency of behavior that immediately precedes it. (See aversive stimulus |
| Response Blocking | A procedure in which the therapist physically intervenes as soon as the learner begins to emit a problem behavior to prevent completion of the targeted behavior. |
| Restitutional Overcorrection | A form of overcorrection in which |
| Unconditioned Punisher | A stimulus change that decreases the frequency of any behavior that immediately precedes it irrespective of the organisms learning history with the stimulus. Unconditioned punishers are products of the evolutionary development of the species (phylogeny) |
| Contingent Observation | A procedure for implementing timeout in which the person is repositioned within an existing setting such that observation of ongoing activities remains |
| Exclusion Time-Out | A procedure for implementing time-out in which |
| Hallway Time-Out | A procedure for implementing time-out in which |
| Nonexclusion Time-Out | A procedure for implementing time-out in which |
| Partition Time-Out | An exclusion procedure for implementing time-out in which |
| Planned Ignoring | A procedure for implementing time-out in which social reinforcers - usually attention |
| Response Cost | The contingent loss of reinforcers (e.g. |
| Time-Out From Positive Reinforcement | The contingent withdrawlf the opportunity to earn positive reinforcement or the loss of access to positive reinforcement or the loss of access to positive reinforcers for a specified time; a form of negative punishment (also called time-out). |
| Time-Out Ribbon | A procedure for implementing nonexclusive time-out in which a child wears a ribbon or wristband that becomes discriminative for receiving reinforcement. Contingent on misbehavior |
| Abolishing Operation (AO) | A motivating operation that decreases the reinforcing effectiveness of a stimulus |
| Behavior-Altering Effect | An alteration in the current frequency of behavior that has been reinforced by the stimulus that is altered in effectiveness by the same motivating operation. For example |
| Conditioned Motivating Operation (CMO) | A motivating operation whose value-altering effect depends on a learning history. For example |
| Disriminative Stimulus (SD) related to punishment | A stimulus in the presence of which responses of some type have been punished. |
| Establishing Operation (EO) | A motivating operation that establishes (increases) the effectiveness of some stimulus |
| Evocative Effect | An increase in the current frequency of behavior that has been reinforced by the stimulus that is increased in reinforcing effectiveness by the same motivating operations. For example |
| Function-Altering Effect | A relatively permanent change in an organism's repertoire of MO |
| Motivating Operation (MO) | An environmental variable that (a) alters (increases or decreases) the reinforcing or punishing effectiveness of some stimulus |
| Recovery From Punishment Procedure | The occurrence of a previously punished type of response without its punishing consequence. The procedure is analogous to the extinction of previously reinforced behavior and has the effect of undoing the effect of the punishment. |
| Reflexive Conditioned Motivating Operation (CMO-R) | A stimulus that acquires MO effectiveness by preceding some form of worsening or improvement. IT is exemplified by the warning stimulus in a typical escape-avoidance procedure |
| Repertoire-Altering Effect | An alteration in the future frequency of behavior that has been reinforced by the stimulus that is altered in effectiveness by the same motivating operations. |
| Reinforcer-Abolishing Effect | A decrease in the reinforcing effectiveness of a stimulus |
| Reinforcer-Establishing Effect | An increase in the reinforcing effectiveness of a stimulus |
| Surrogate Conditioned Motivating Operation (CMO-S) | A stimulus that acquires its MO effectiveness by being paired with another MO and has the same value-altering and behavior-altering effects as the MO with which it was paired. |
| Transitive Conditioned Motivating Operation (CMO-T) | An environmental variable that |
| Unconditioned Motivating Operation (UMO) | A motivating operation whose value-altering effect does not depend on a learning history. For example |
| Unpairing | Two kinds: (a) The occurrence alone of a stimulus that acquired its function by being paired with an already effective stimulus |
| Value-Altering Effect | An alteration in the reinforcing effectiveness of a stimulus |
