Experimental Analysis of Behavior Module 2 Vocabulary and Definitions
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Motivating Operation (MO) | environmental variable that changes the value of a given reinforcer and alters the current frequency of behavior that would access that reinforcer, value or behavior altering effect |
| Establishing Operation (EO) | factor that makes a reinforcer more valuable and increase behavior that accesses it |
| Abolishing Operation (AO) | factor that makes a reinforcer less valuable and decrease behavior that accesses it |
| Multiple Schedule | type of compound schedule where same behavior is targeted with different stimuli |
| Mixed Schedule | type of compound schedule where the same behavior is targeted with the same stimuli |
| Chained Schedule | type of compound schedule where each step has its own SD signaling progress towards reinforcement and each needs to be completed prior to reinforcement |
| Tandem Schedule | type of compound schedule where the same chains are joined without any distinct stimuli to indicate which schedule is in effect |
| Alternative Schedule | type of compound schedule where schedules are in place at the same time and either schedule is met first prior to reinforcement |
| Conjunctive Schedule | type of compound schedule where schedules are in place at the same time both schedules must be met to gain reinforcement |
| Concurrent Schedule | type of compound schedule where different responses/ behaviors are targeted at the same time on two different schedules, one response at a time/reinforcer can be different |
| Concurrent-Chains Schedule | involves two or more concurrent chained schedules (at the same time) each chain has different SDs and schedules, reinforcement after the "chosen" schedule is completed, choice/delayed effects |
| Conditioned Reinforcer | these reinforcers get their reinforcing power through pairing with other both unconditioned and conditioned reinforcers |
| Generalized Conditioned Reinforcer | paired with various reinforcers these are effective across people, settings/environments and situations |
| Token Reinforcement | within a contingency system arbitrary but impactful tokens are given for targeted behaviors, the tokens don't have innate value, rather, they are powerful conditioned reinforcers due to pairing with preferred reinforcers and exchangeability |
| Resistance to Extinction (RTE) | after reinforcement of a targeted behavior ceases a behavior shows resistance to the procedure for extended or shorter times, reinforcement schedules have a significant impact |
| Partial Reinforcement Effect | when the reinforcement isn't predictable it can lead to behaviors being fortified against extinction procedures, intermittent schedules known to result in >RTE |
| Behavioral Momentum | likelihood that behavior response will stay momentous and appropriate with ongoing reinforcement starting with high probability then low probability behaviors |
| Spontaneous Recovery (Operant) | after the reinforcer is withheld the behavior may return even if the reinforcer isn't reinstated, *unlike in respondent conditioning the CS-US pairing with return of CR (reflex) |
| Resurgence | when a previously reinforced behavior reappears after a newer reinforced behavior is placed on extinction |
| Reinstatement | when a previously extinguished behavior reappears due to the previous reinforcers availability after extinction, if the environment cues that the old reinforcer is available the behavior returns |
