533 Concepts

Fluency-Based Instruction for EDSPE 533

DefinitionTerm
the science of how environment impacts behavior Behavior analysis
description, prediction, control Goals of behavior analysis
all events have a cause Determinism
knowledge comes from our senses Empiricism
using the simplest adequate explanation Parsimony
continually questioning what is considered fact Philosophic Doubt
Variation occurs and those that work best are kept while the others fade. Selectionism
value is judged by practical effects Pragmatism
the philosophy that behavior can be explained by environmental influences Behaviorism
the philosopy that the mind controls behavior Mentalism
attempts to understand all behavior including private events Radical Behaviorism
experimental research to discover basic principles of behavior Experimental Analysis of Behavior
research on applying principles of behavior to socially significant problems Applied Behavior Analysis
the use of behavioral principles to solve socially significant problems Professional practice guided by behavior analysis
effective improvements that enhance people's lives Applied
targets behavior that is observable and measurable Behavioral
experimentally able to control occurrence and nonoccurrence of behavior Analytic
describes procedures with sufficient clarity to allow replication Technological
based on the principles of behavior analysis Conceptually systematic
improves behavior to a practical degree Effective
over time, in new environments, in untrained behaviors Generality
the activity of living organisms Behavior
a specific instance of behavior Response
the physical shape or form of behavior Topography (response topography)
the effect of behavior on the environment Function (response function)
Group of responses that all produce the same effect on the environment Response class
all of the behaviors a person can do Repertoire
the full set of physical circumstances in which the organism exists Environment
an energy change that affects an organism through its receptor cells Stimulus
group of stimuli that all evoke the same response Stimulus class
behavior elicited by antecedent stimuli Respondent behavior
Pairing a neutral stimulus with an unconditioned stimulus causing it to elicit the conditioned response Respondent conditioning
a stimulus that elicits a response without previous pairing with another stimulus Unconditioned stimulus (US)
a response elicited by an unconditioned stimulus Unconditioned response (UR)
a stimulus that elicits a response because of previous pairing with another stimulus Conditioned stimulus (CS)
a response elicited by a conditioned stimulus Conditioned response (CR)
presenting the conditioned stimulus without pairing it (with the unconditioned stimulus or an already established conditioned) stimulus Respondent extinction
(establishing a conditioned stimulus by) pairing a neutral stimulus with an already-conditioned stimulus Higher order conditioning
a decrease in responseness to repeated presentations of a stimulus Habituation
relationship between an antecedent and the respondent behavior elicited Reflex
behavior determined primarily by its history of consequences Operant behavior
the process and selective effects of consequences on behavior Operant conditioning
when a behavior is followed immediately by a stimulus change that results in similar responses occurring more often Reinforcement
when a behavior is followed immediately by the presentation of a stimulus, resulting in an increase in the future frequency of the behavior Positive reinforcement
a behavior is followed immediately by the reduction or removal of an aversive stimulus, resulting in an increase in the future frequency of the behavior Negative reinforcement
a response is followed immediately by a stimulus change that results in similar responses occurring less often Punishment
when a response is followed immediately by the presentation of an aversive stimulus, resulting in a decrease in the future frequency of the behavior Positive punishment
when a response is followed immediately by the reduction or removal of a stimulus, resulting in a decrease in the future frequency of the behavior. Negative punishment
an if/then relationship between the environment and behavior Contingency
the response itself automatically produces the consequence. Automatic contingency
another person provides the consequence Socially-mediated
Discontinuation of reinforcement for a previously reinforced behavior (reduces its future occurrence) Extinction
when the occurrence of a behavior is altered by the presence or absence of an antecedent stimulus Stimulus control
Stimulus in the presence of which a particular response has been differentially reinforced Discriminative Stimulus
behavior and consequence Two term contingency
antecedent, behavior and consequence Three term contingency
motivating operation, antecedent, behavior and consequence Four term contingency
Environmental variable that alters the effectiveness of a reinforcer and the frequency of behavior that has been reinforced by it (that reinforcer). Motivating operation
an MO that increases the current effectiveness of a reinforcer Establishing operation
an MO that decreases the current effectiveness of a reinforcer Abolishing operation
a reinforcer that doesn't require prior pairing with another form of reinforcement Unconditioned reinforcer
a reinforcer that requires prior pairing with another form of reinforcement Conditioned reinforcer
doesn't depend on a current EO Generalized conditioned reinforcer
any high-probability activity may serve as a reinforcer for any low-probability activity Premack principle
identifies preferred stimuli Preference assessment
tests whether a stimulus functions as a reinforcer Reinforcer assessment
a response terminates an ongoing stimulus Escape contingency
a response prevents or postpones the presentation of a stimulus Avoidance contingency
responses at any time delay the presentation of a stimulus Free operant avoidance
responding in the presense of a signal prevents the presentation of a stimulus Discriminated avoidance
a stimulus that precedes a negative reinforcer Warning stimulus
a change in the reinforcing effectiveness of a stimulus Value-altering effect
a change in the current frequency of behavior that has been reinforced by a specific stimulus Behavior-altering effect
a increase in the current frequency of behavior that has been reinforced by a specific stimulus Evocative effect
a decrease in the current frequency of behavior that has been reinforced by a specific stimulus Abative effect
an MO whose value-altering effect does not depend on a learning history Unconditioned Motivating Operation
an MO whose value-altering effect depends on a learning history Conditioned Motivating Operation
a stimulus that acquires its MO effectiveness by being paired with another MO Surrogate CMO
a stimulus that acquires MO effectiveness by preceding some form of worsening Reflexive CMO
a stimulus that establishes the effectiveness of another stimulus as a reinforcer Transitive CMO
(Schedule of reinforcement in which) every occurrence of a target behavior is reinforced Continuous reinforcement
(Schedule of reinforcement in which) only some occurrences of a behavior are reinforced Intermittent reinforcement
fixed interval, fixed ratio, variable interval, variable ratio Basic schedules
Reinforcement delivered following a constant number of specified responses. Fixed ratio
Reinforcement delivered following an average number of specified responses. Variable ratio
Reinforcement is delivered following the first specified response after a constant amount of time. Fixed interval
Reinforcement is delivered following the first specified response after an average amount of time. Variable interval
high rate of responding followed by a noticeable pause after reinforcement Effects of a fixed ratio
low rate of responding that gradually increases before reinforcement Effects of a fixed interval
high and steady rate of responding with few pauses Effects of a variable ratio
moderate and consistent rate of responding Effects of a variable interval
changing a contingency of reinforcement by gradually increasing required number of responses or length of the interval Schedule thinning
abrupt increases in requirements for reinforcement results in cessation of responding Ratio strain
a reinforcer is delivered after a passage of time regardless of responses Fixed time schedule
reinforcement of responses higher than a predetermined criterion Differential reinforcement of high rates
reinforcement of responses lower than a predetermined criterion Differential reinforcement of low rates
a schedule of reinforcement consisting of two or more elements Compound schedules
(A schedule of reinforcement in which) two or more contingencies of reinforcement operate independently and simultaneously for two or more behaviors Concurrent schedules
(A schedule of reinforcement in which) two or more contingencies of reinforcement, each with an SD, for the same behavior operate successively Multiple schedules
(A schedule of reinforcement in which) two or more basic schedules, each with an SD, operate in a specified sequence Chained schedules
(A schedule of reinforcement in which) two or more contingencies of reinforcement, each with no SD, for the same behavior operate successively Mixed schedule
