Question
Answer
Schedule of Reinforcement   rule specifying which occurrences of a given behavior, if any, will be reinforced  
🗑
Continuous Reinforcement (CRF)   every correct response is reinforced; fast learning & fast extinction  
🗑
Intermittent Reinforcement   Only some correct responses are reinforced; slow learning & slow extinction  
🗑
Aquisition Phase   Behavior is being conditioned or learned  
🗑
Maintence Phase   Behaivor has become well-learned  
🗑
Free-Operant Procedure (2)   Individual is "free" to respond repeatedly  
🗑
Fixed-ratio (FR)   Reinforcement occurs with a fixed number of responses, high response followed by a pause, initially high rate of responding during extinction, high resistance to extinction  
🗑
Advantages of Intermittent Reinforcement (4)   1. Reinforcer remains effective longer 2. take longer to extinguish 3. work more consistently 4. likely to persist in natural environment  
🗑
Ratio Strain   deterioration of responding from increasing an FR schedule too rapidly  
🗑
Variable-ratio (VR)   # of responses unpredictable from one to next, high steady response, little post-reinforcement phase,  
🗑
Fixed - Ratio (FR) schedule   Reinforcement occurs each time a set number of responses of a particular type is emitted  
🗑
Differences between FR and VR   VR increase faster the FR w/o ratio strain, VR lasts longer, VR has a higher resistance to extinction and FR  
🗑
FI & VI are based on   TIME  
🗑
VR & FR are based on   # of responses  
🗑
Fixed Interval (FI)   The first response after a fixed amount of time following the previous reinforcement is reinforced, no limit on how long after the end of the interval a response can occur in orderto be reinforced  
🗑
FI Schedules produce:   Behavior increases near the end of time until a reinforcement is given; Post-reinforcement pause  
🗑
Post Reinforcement Pause   The higher the value of reinforcer the longer the pause  
🗑
Variable-Interval (VI)   The length of the interval changes unpredictably  
🗑
Length of VI schedule   vary around some mean value  
🗑
Why aren't simple interval schedules used often?   FI produces long post-reinforcement pauses, VI generates lower response rates than ratio schedules, requires continuous monitoring of B after each interval  
🗑
Fixed Duration (FD)   the period is fixed  
🗑
Variable Duration (VD)   interval changes unpredictably  
🗑
Duration Schedule of reinforcement   reinforcement after behavior for a continuous period of time  
🗑
When can you use Duration Schedule?   only when target behavior can be measured continuously  
🗑
Concurrent Schedule of reinforcement   Schedule of reinforcement that are in effect at any time  
🗑
Pitfalls of Intermittent Reinforcement   doing it wrong, introducing intermittent schedule too quickly, schedule is too hard to follow  
🗑
Herrnsteing's (1961) matching law   The response rate or the time devoted to an activity in a concurrent schedule is propotional to the rate of reinforcement of that activity rather than the rates o other concurrent activites  
🗑
Differential Reinforcment of Low Rates (DRL)   Reinforcing only low rates of responding  
🗑
Limited Responding DRL   Maximum number of allowable responses during an interval  
🗑
Example of Limited Responding DRL   Blurting max of 3 times  
🗑
Limited is useful when   some of the behavior is tolerable, less is better  
🗑
Spaced-Responding DRL   No behavior for interval, then after interval passed, behavior is reinforced; Behavior spaced over time; little is desirable  
🗑
Differential Reinforcement of Zero Responding (DRO)   Reinforcer presented only if response does not occur within an interval  
🗑
How to use a DRO   if response occurs, start over;  
🗑
Differential reinforcement of other responding   reinforcement of any other behavior  
🗑
in DRO Length of interval increased gradually until:   behavior is little or none; minimum amount of reinforcement is given for nonoccurence  
🗑
Differential Reinforcement of Incompatible Responding (DRI)   two behaviors that are not compatible; reinforce incompatible response  
🗑
Differential Reinforcement of Alternate Behavior (DRA)   allows the strengthening of a desirable behavior while decreasing the likelihood of undesirable behavior.  
🗑
Example of DRI   Bubble mouth and talking (Can't do both)reinforce not talking  
🗑
Example of DRA   if the challenging behavior is disruption in the classroom, the alternative behavior might be hand-raising  
🗑
Example of DRO   reinforcer if child doesn't suck thumb for 60 seconds  
🗑
Example of DRL   Calling out correct answers in class is reinforced if it only occurs once every 15 minutes  
🗑
Situations in which behaviors occur are analyzed in terms of   ABC Antecedent Stimuli, Behavior, Consequences  
🗑
Antecedent Stimuli   Stimuli that exist just prior to behavior  
🗑
Stimulus Control   Degree of correlation between a stimulus and subsequent response  
🗑
Good or effective stimulus control   High correlation  
🗑
Stimulus Discrimination   Learn to emit specific behavior in presence of some stimuli and not in presence of other stimuli  
🗑
Stimulus Discrimination Training   Process of teaching stimulus discriminations  
🗑
Controlling Stimuli   Stimuli that control behavior due to reinforcement in their presence and extinction in their absence  
🗑
SD   Disctiminative stimuli  
🗑
Discriminative Stimulus for Extinction (S-delta)   Response has been extinguished only in the presence of a particular stimulus; cue that won't work  
🗑
Discriminative Stimulus for Reinforcement (SD)   response has been reinforced only in the presence of a particular stimulus; cue that it will work  
🗑
Stimulus Generalization   transfer of a response learned to one stimulus to a similar stimulus  
🗑
Effective Stimulus Discrimination Training   Choose distinct signals; minimize errors; maximize number of trials; rules speed up learning  
🗑
