Generalized Conditioned Reinforcer
|
A conditioned reinforcer that as a result of having been paired with many other reinforcers does not depend on an EO for any particular form of reinforcement for its effectiveness
|
|
|
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
|
|
|
Reinforcer Assessment
|
Refers to a variety of direct, empirical methods for presenting one or more stimuli contingent on a target response & measuring their effectiveness as reinforcers
|
|
|
Response deprivation hypothesis
|
A model for predicting whether contingent access to one behavior will function as reinforcement for engaging in another behavior based on whether access to the contingent behavior represents a restriction of the activity compared to the baseline level of engagement
|
|
|
Stimulus preference assessment
|
A variety of procedures used to determine the stimuli that a person prefers, the relative preference values (high vs. low) of those stimuli, the conditions under which those preference values remain in effect, and their presumed value as reinforcers
|
|
|
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. They are the product of the evolutionary development of the species (phylogeny). A.k.a. primary or unlearned reinforcer
|
|
|
Conditioned Reinforcer
|
A stimulus change that functions as a reinforcer because of prior pairing with one or more other reinforcers; sometimes called a secondary or learned reinforcer
|
|
|
Automatic Reinforcement
|
Reinforcement that occurs independent of the social mediation of others (e.g., scratching an insect bite relieves the itch).
