| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Antecedent | The stimuli, events, situations, or circumstances that are present when it occurs or were present immediately before the behavior. |
| Discriminative stimulus | The antecedent stimulus that is present when a behavior is reinforced |
| Generalization | Takes place when a behavior occurs in the presence of stimuli that are similar in some ways to the SD that was present during stimulus discrimination training |
| S-Delta | Any antecedent stimulus that is present when the behavior is not reinforced |
| Stimulus Class | A group of stimuli that share specified common elements along formal, temporal, and/or functional dimensions. |
| Stimulus control | When an operant behavior is controlled by a stimulus that precedes it. |
| Stimulus discrimination training | The process of reinforcing a behavior only when a specific antecedent stimulus (SD) is present |
| Three-term contingency | The basic unit of analysis in the analysis of operant behavior: (A): Antecedent (B): Behavior (C): Consequence |
| Stimulus generalization | Occurrence of a response in the presence of stimuli that are different from those originally paired with reinforcement (original SD). Effects of training “generalize” across stimuli. |
| Response generalization | Occurrence of responses that are different than those originally paired with reinforcement (original target R). Effects of training “generalize” across responses |
| Respondent conditioning | Pairing of antecedent stimuli (NS —>US), one of which (US) already elicits a response, which produces: CS —> CR |
