Question
Answer
behavior modification   show
🗑
show Relationship between a behavior and its consequences. In some cases, events that precede the behavior are also specified by a contingency.  
🗑
contingent observation procedure   show
🗑
continuous reinforcement   show
🗑
differential reinforcement of other behavior (DRO)   show
🗑
discrimination   show
🗑
discriminative stimulus   show
🗑
extinction   show
🗑
fixed-interval schedule   show
🗑
fixed-ratio schedule   show
🗑
show Attempt to understand behavior by identifying the environmental conditions that determine its occurrence or nonoccurrence. A functional analysis says that behavior is caused by the operation of environmental factors.  
🗑
show Schedule of reinforcement in which responses produce reinforcers only occasionally or intermittently.  
🗑
show For Thorndike, the principle that behavior is determined by its consequences. Behavior followed by reward was "stamped in" & behavior followed by punishment was "stamped out" (Current operant-conditioning theory)  
🗑
show Pejorative term used by some learning theorists to indicate their dissatisfaction with the use of concepts that cannot be objectively assessed as explanatory devices in attempts to account for behavior. Sup to have explanatory power but in reality do not.  
🗑
negative punishment   show
🗑
negative reinforcement   show
🗑
operant analysis   show
🗑
show Establishement of the linkage or association between a behavior and it's consequences.  
🗑
show Tools used to facilitate certain behaviors, for example eyeglasses used by people w/ vision problems to facilitate sight, hearing aids used by the hearing impaired to facilitate hearing.

🗑
positive reinforcement   show

show Stimuli that, when they follow behavior, increase the frequency of the behavior.  
🗑
primary punishers   show
🗑
show Stimuli that are innately reinforcing. They do not depend on learning to achieve their reinforcing properties.  
🗑
show Antecedent stimuli that help initiate behaviors.  
🗑
punishment   show
🗑
redirection procedure   show
🗑
show Presentation of a positive reinforcer or removal of a punisher following a behavior, with the result that the frequency of that behavior increases.  
🗑
repertoire   show
🗑
show A punishment procedure in which, contingent on undesirable behavior a positive reinforcer is removed or lost.

🗑
show The process in which a person's response is determined by particular stimuli, If a person has been reinforced for a given behavior in the presence of certain stimuli and not in the presence of others he learns to respond only in the presence of the stimu  
🗑
stimulus generalization   show
🗑
show A procedure whereby responses that more and more closely resemble a terminal response are reinforced.  
🗑
show A punishment procedure in which, contingent on undesirable bhavior, access to positive reinforcers is withdrawn for a brief period.  
🗑
show A behavior modification procedure in which patients earn tokens (or chips or points) for performing behaviors that the hospital staff judges are necessary if the patients are to live effectively.The tokens are conditioned reinforcers that can be exchanged  
🗑
