Terms 1-30/45
| Definition | Term |
|---|---|
| A verbal operant evoked by a verbal stimulus and that does not have point-to-point correspondence with that verbal stimulus | Intraverbal |
| Specified dependency between a behavior and its antecedents and consequences | Contingency |
| Schedule of reinforcement in which only some occurrences of a behavior are reinforced | Intermittent Reinforcement |
| Behavior controlled by a verbally described contingency | Rule Governed Behavior |
| Behavior learned and controlled through direct contact with consequences | Contingency Shaped Behavior |
| Withholding reinforcement for a previously reinforced behavior to reduce its occurrence | Extinction |
| Differentially reinforcing successive approximations to a terminal behavior | Shaping |
| Any high-probability activity may serve as a reinforcer for any low-probability activity | Premack Principle |
| Reinforcement occurring independent of the social mediation of others | Automatic Reinforcement |
| An individual responds one way in the presence of a given stimulus and another way in its absence | Stimulus Control |
| Additional stimuli that increases the probability that the SD will trigger a specific response | Prompt |
| Stimulus in the presence of which a particular response will be reinforced | Discriminative Stimulus |
| Responding to a series of high probability behaviors increases the likelihood of responding to a low probability behavior | Behavioral Momentum |
| When a response conditioned to one stimulus is evoked by novel stimuli not used during conditioning | Stimulus Generalization |
| When an individual emits untrained responses that are functionally equivalent to the trained response | Response Generalization |
| Measurable actions or physical functions, including both saying and doing | Behavior |
| Count per unit of time | Rate |
| Number of times a behavior occurs | Count |
| Total extent of time a behavior occurs | Duration |
| Time between onset of a stimulus and initiation of response | Latency |
| 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 |
| When a behavior is followed immediately by the reduction or removal of a stimulus, resulting in an increase in the future frequency of the behavior | Negative Reinforcement |
| When a behavior 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 behavior is followed immediately by the reduction or removal of a stimulus, resulting in a decrease in the future frequency of the behavior | Negative Punishment |
| Group of stimuli that all evoke the same response | Stimulus Class |
| Group of responses that all produce the same effect on the environment | Response Class |
| Behavior reinforced through social mediation of others | Verbal Behavior |
| A verbal operant involving a vocal response evoked by a vocal stimulus that has point-to-point correspondence | Echoic |
| A verbal operant evoked by an MO and followed by specific reinforcement | Mand |
| A verbal operant evoked by a nonverbal stimulus and followed by generalized conditioned reinforcement | Tact |
