Ontogeny
|
The history of the development of an individual organism during its lifetime.
|
|
Operant behavior
|
Any behavior whose future frequency is determined by its history of consequences.
|
|
Operant conditioning
|
The process by which operant learning occurs; consequences result in an increased or decreased frequency of behavior in the future.

|
Planned Ignoring
|
A
|
|
Positive punishment
|
A behavior is followed immediately by the presentation of a stimulus that decreases the future frequency of the behavior.
|
|
Positive reinforcement
|
Occurs when a behavior is followed immediately by the presentation of a stimulus that increases the future frequency of the behavior in similar conditions.
|
|
Positive reinforcer
|
A stimulus whose presentation or onset functions as reinforcement.
|
|
Premack principle
|
A principle that states that making the opportunity to engage in a high-probability behavior contingent on the occurrence of a low-frequency behavior will function as reinforcement for the low-frequency behavior.
|
|
Private events

A
|
|
Programming Common Stimuli
|
A
|
|
Punisher
|
A stimulus change that decreases the future frequency of behavior that immediately precedes it.
|
|
Punishment
|
Occurs when stimulus change immediately follows a response and decreases the future frequency of that type of behavior in similar conditions.

Reactivity
|
A
|
|
Reflex
|
A stimulus-response relation consisting of an antecedent stimulus and the respondent behavior it elicits.
|
|
Reinforcement
|
Occurs when a stimulus change immediately follows a response and increases the future frequency of that type of behavior in similar conditions.
|
|
Reinforcer
|
A stimulus change that increases the future frequency of behavior that immediately precedes it.

A
|
|
Response conditioning
|
A
|

Response blocking
|
A procedure in which the therapist physically intervenes as soon as the learner begins to emit a problem behavior to prevent the completion of the targeted behavior.

Satiation
|
A decrease in the frequency of behavior presumed to be the result of continued contact with or consumption of a reinforcer that has followed the behavior.
|
|
Stimulus
|
An energy change that affects an organism through its receptor cells.
|
|
Stimulus class
|
A group of stimuli that share specified common elements along formal, temporal, and/or functional dimensions".

|
|
Stimulus-stimulus pairing
|
A procedure in which 2 stimuli are presented at the same time, usually repeatedly for a number of trials, which often results in one stimulus acquiring the function of the other stimulus".

Unconditioned reinforcer
|
A stimulus change that increases the frequency of any behavior that immediately precedes it irrespective of the organism's learning history with the stimulus.
|
|
Unconditioned negative reinforcer
|
"A stimulus that functions as a negative reinforceras a result of the evolutionary development of the species (phylogeny); no prior learning is involved (e.g., shock, loud noise, intense light, extreme pressures against the body)".
