Question	Answer
2 Variable attributes of antecedents	Can be either outside or within the skin of the organism, can be social or non-social
2 Basic types of antecedents	Discriminative Stimuli (SD) and Motivating Operations (MOs)
Unconditioned motivating operation	A motivating operation whose value-altering effect does not depend on a learning history
Conditioned motivating operation	A motivating operation whose value-altering effect depends on a learning history
2 Types of effects antecedents have on behavior	Evocative (evoke behavior) or Abative (abate behavior)
Operant conditioning	The basic process by which operant learning occurs
Evocative Effect	n increase in the momentary frequency of a response class now, under the current conditions
Abative Effect	A decrease in the momentary frequency of a response class now, under the current conditions
Differential reinforcement	Reinforcing only those responses within a response class that meet a specific criterion along some dimension(s) and placing all other responses in the class on extinction
Differentiation	When differential reinforcement consists of reinforcing some responses and not reinforcing other responses
Discrimination	When differential reinforcement consists of reinforcing a response when certain stimuli are present and not reinforcing the same response when those stimuli are not present.
Stimulus Control (Discriminative Control)	The tendency of behavior to occur more frequently in the presence of a particular stimulus because the behavior has been reinforced only or mostly in the presence of that stimulus
Discriminated Operant	An operant class that is established through the process of differential reinforcement with respect to the presence or absence of antecedent stimuli
Discriminative stimulus (S D )	An antecedent stimulus that evokes or abates a specific behavior, due to a past history of differential availability of reinforcement or punishment for that behavior, dependent on their presence versus their absence
4 Basic types of Discriminative Stimuli	S D for reinforcement S D for extinction S D for punishment S D for withholding punishment
SD for SR	Discriminative stimulus for reinforcement; Evokes behavior because in the past that behavior has been reinforced in its presence.
SΔ for 🚫SR	Discriminative stimulus for extinction; Abates behavior because in the past that behavior has NOT been reinforced in its presence.
SDP for SP	Discriminative stimulus for punishment; Abates behavior because in the past that behavior has been punished in its presence.
SΔP for 🚫SP	Discriminative stimulus for withholding punishment; Evokes behavior because in the past that behavior has NOT been punished in its presence.
SDR+	Discriminative Stimulus for Positive Reinforcement
SDR-	Discriminative Stimulus for Negative Reinforcement
SΔR+	Discriminative Stimulus for extinction of behavior maintained by positive reinforcement
SΔR-	Discriminative Stimulus for extinction of behavior maintained by negative reinforcement
SDP+	Discriminative Stimulus for Positive Punishment
SDP-	Discriminative Stimulus for Negative Punishment
SΔP+	Discriminative Stimulus for Unavailability of Positive Punishment
SΔP-	Discriminative Stimulus for Unavailability of Negative Punishment
Conditional Discrimination	A discrimination in which reinforcing a response is contingent (conditional) on another stimulus.
Stimulus Generalization	The tendency of a learned response to occur in the presence of stimuli which were not present during training but either have some similar physical properties to the S D or have been associated with the S D
