TermDefinition
Aversive Stimuli Escaping the stimulus
Aversive control reinforcement and punishment
Negative reinforcement Stimulus removed means there is an increase to repeat the behavior
Negative reinforcement order behavior contingency, effect on behavior, process jec
Two types of negative reinforcement escape and avoidance
Escape a response is removed or reduces an adverse stimulus
EO establishing operation
escape extinction preventing the subject from escaping the stimulus
Avoidance behavior occurs prior to an aversive stimulus and prevents or cancels the presentation of the stimulus
Shuttle box avoidance two compartments
CAS conditioned aversive stimulus
WS warning stimulus
Limitations of two-factor theory fear is a reified hypothetical construct
One factory theory operant conditioning
Two-factor theory respondent and operant conditioning
Opernant conditioning Voluntary
Respondent conditioning Involuntary
Defining features of punishment decrease in subsequent probability of behavior as a result of experiencing operant contingency
Contingency can or cannot happen
Contingency Positive behavior results in presentation/added stimulus
Contingency negative behavior results in termination/subtraction of stimulus
Effect of punishment decreased probability of behavior
Process effect occurs because of the contingency
Reinforcement ___ the behavior strengthens
Punishment ___ behavior weakens
Positive punishment aversive stimulus present probability of behavior decreases
Negative reinforcement aversive stimulus is removed and probablity of behavior increases
Variables affecting punishment strength of contingency, schedule of punishment, continuity, intensity
Punishment involves ___ between the reinforcement and punishment conflict
Reinforcement Variables affecting punishment Establishing MO, reinforcement schedules and alternative sources of reinforcement
Higher reinforcement rate punishment is less effective harder to punish
Lower reinforcement rate punishment is more effective easier to punish
Punishment is most effective when presented immediately, contingently and frequently
Punishment is weakened when established operation, infrequently reinforced
Response-cost (penalty) response contingent removal of earned reinforcers (fines or late fees equal loss of money)
Time-out removal of access to reinforcers
Exclusionary removed from the situation
Non-exclusionary staying in location but losing access to reinforcement
DRO differential reinforcement of other behavior
Differential reinforcement of Other behavior reinforce doing anything other than the target behavior
Differential reinforcement of alternative behavior DRA
DRA a different behavior is specified and only that alternative behavior is reinforced
DRI Differential reinforcements of incompatible behavior
Differential reinforcements of incompatible behavior two behaviors that cannot occur at the same time
Examples of compatible behavior walking and talking
Example of incompatible behavior sitting and standing
Concurrent schedules of reinforcement able to switch back and forth
Principle of least effort always picking the less work one
Variable-interval schedules frequency influencing choice
Behavior that is reinforced twice as often.... should be twice as strong
Matching law the percentage or proportion of behavior given to an option is equal of the reinforcers obtained via that option
delay the time between receiving the reinforcer not receiving instant gratification
conflict not receiving instant gratification
immediate instant gratification
SSR small reinforcer
small reinforcer impulsive
LLR large reinforcer
larger reinforcer self-control
delay discounting delay discounts value of reinforcer
indifference point the point in which your delay changes
shallow discounting smaller effect of delay "less impulsive"
steeper discounting bigger effect delay "more impulse"

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.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
