EAP Mod 1 Vocabulary
Experimental Analysis of Behavior Module 1 Vocabulary and Definitions
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Respondent Conditioning | involuntary response, NS paired with unconditioned stimulus produces unconditioned response and as pairings continue the formerly NS acquires eliciting properties of the UR-eventually US becomes a conditioned stimulus that can elicit CR like the UR |
| Unconditioned Stimulus (US) | something, rather a stimulus, in the immediate environment that elicits a response without any prior learning or associated conditioning |
| Unconditioned Response (UR) | an automatic behavioral response that occurs following some US stimulus/antecedent that happens without any prior learning or associated conditioning |
| Conditioned Stimulus (CS) | a stimulus having otherwise been neutral in the immediate environment that once paired with an unconditioned stimulus, becomes a learned stimulus for responding |
| Conditioned Response (CR) | behavioral response that becomes learned through ongoing pairing of a previously NS with and an US |
| Neutral Stimulus (NS) | stimulus that does not automatically produce a response or target behavior and does not innately have the ability to evoke the response of interest |
| Extinction (Respondent) | during respondent conditioning when pairing between CS and US ceases and the CR weakens, becomes suppressed |
| Spontaneous Recovery | following extinction, the conditioned response emerges when the CS presents again |
| Generalization (Respondent) | when a CR results from both the first CS and another closely related stimulus |
| Discrimination (Respondent) | when the learned response to a CS applies only to that particular CS and responding does not occur with other stimuli, even if it's similar to the CS |
| Trace Conditioning | time-based condition wherein NS is presented then removed prior to presentation of US |
| Delay Conditioning | most effective time-based respondent conditioning wherein NS presents prior to US |
| Simultaneous Conditioning | less effective time-based respondent conditioning wherein NS and US are presented at the same time |
| Backward Conditioning | the least effective time-based respondent conditioning wherein the unconditioned stimulus is presented before neutral stimulus |
| Conditioned Suppression | when a CS decreases respondent behavior if that CS predicts an unwanted consequence |
| Rescorla-Wagner Model | predictive and quantitative-based learning model that posits that learning depends on the US' magnitude of spontaneity, that stronger conditioning occurs when the US is unexpected, and that learning ceases if the CS can fully predict the US |
| Overshadowing | when two CS are presented together, the most salient CS of the two is more readily conditioned and learned while the less salient CS is ignored, may interfere with learning |
| Blocking | within learning repertoire, a previously associated CS with a US effectively limiting the ability to learn another CS, may interfere with learning |
| Operant Conditioning Chamber | most widely used learning tool, experimentally controlled and isolated environment in EAB that controls the environmental variability by determining importance of factors in the environment. It's a mechanism for precise control of consequence delivery. |
| Cumulative Recorder | vital automatic data collection system tool/equipment with a pen affixed to a paper roller that marks when responding/reinforcement delivery occurs, ultimately creating a visual representation that relays real-time responding patterns |
