Front 1

Stimulus Control

Back 1

Tendency of a behavior to occur more frequently in the presence of a particular stimulus (the SD) because the behavior has been reinforced only or mostly in the presence of that stimulus

Front 2

Discriminative Stimulus

Back 2

Antecedent stimulus which evokes or abates an operant because in its presence the relation between the Bx and an effective consequence was different from what it was in its absence

Front 3

Types of Discriminative Stimuli

Back 3

SD, Sdelta, SDP

Front 4

SD

Back 4

Evoke behavior because in the past that behavior has been reinforced in its presence

Front 5

SDelta

Back 5

Suppress or abate behavior because in the past that behavior has been extinguished in its presence

Front 6

SDP

Back 6

Suppress or abate behavior because in the past that behavior has been punished in its presence

Front 7

Stimulus Generalization

Back 7

Tendency of a learned response to occur in the presence of stimuli which were NOT present during training but which either have some SIMILAR physical properties to or have been associated with the SD

Front 8

Stimulus Generalization

Back 8

Same response; Different stimuli

Front 9

Response Generalization

Back 9

AKA Induction; the spread of the effects of reinforcement and other procedures to other response classes which have not been reinforced

Front 10

Response Generalization

Back 10

Same stimuli; different responses

Front 11

Motivating Operation

Back 11

Antecedent operation that has two effects

Front 12

Motivating Operation

Back 12

Value-altering effect – momentarily alters (increases/decreases) the effectiveness of a stimulus as a reinforcer or a punisher

Front 13

Motivating Operation

Back 13

Behavior-altering effect – alter the momentary frequency of any behavior that has been reinforced or punished by the stimulus whose value has been altered by that same MO.

Front 14

Motivating Operation

Back 14

4 subtypes:
EOs related to reinforcement
AOs related to reinforcement
EOs related to punishment
AOs related to punishment

Front 15

EOs related to reinforcement

Back 15

MOs that increase the value of other events as forms of reinforcement. Evoke the type of Bx which has been reinforced by those events in the past

Front 16

AOs related to reinforcement

Back 16

MOs which decrease the value of other events as forms of reinforcement. Abate the type of Bx which has been reinforced by those events in the past

Front 17

EOs related to punishment

Back 17

MOs which increase the value of other events as forms of punishment. Abate the type of Bx which has been punished by those events in the past

Front 18

AOs related to punishment

Back 18

MOs which decrease the value of other events as forms of punishment. Evoke the type of Bx which has been punished by those events in the past.

Front 19

Unconditioned Motivating Operations

Back 19

Events, operations, and stimulus conditions whose reinforcer-establishing effects are unlearned, but the Bx evoked by the MO is usually learned

Front 20

UMOs

Back 20

Two most basic:
Deprivation (UEO)
Satiation (UAO)

Front 21

9 main UMOs
1-5

Back 21

Five deprivation and satiation UMOs: food, water, sleep, activity, & oxygen

Front 22

UMOs
6

Back 22

UMOs related to sex

Front 23

UMOs
7-8

Back 23

Two UMOs related to being too cold or too warm

Front 24

UMOs
9

Back 24

UMO consisting of onset or magnification of painful stimulation

Front 25

Negative Reinforcement

Back 25

The onset of painful stimulation establishes the reduction or offset of this stimulation as an effective form of reinforcement and evokes the Bx that achieved such reduction/offset

Front 26

Conditioned Motivating Operations
CMOs

Back 26

Variables that alter the reinforcing effectiveness of other events but only as a result of the individual organism’s history

Front 27

Surrogate CMO

Back 27

Acquire the properties of an MO through pairing

Front 28

Reflexive CMO

Back 28

Correlated with either a worsening or improving condition. Threat or Promise CMOS

Front 29

Threat Reflexive CMO

Back 29

Correlated with a worsening condition. Function as an EO for negative reinforcement and evoke behavior that terminates the event

Front 30

Threat Reflexive CMO

Back 30

Function as a warning stimulus that evokes an avoidance response and establishes the termination of the warning stimulus as conditioned negative reinforcement

Front 31

Transitive CMO

Back 31

An event which establishes another stimulus as a necessary condition to complete the response that the first event evokes and thus establishes that second stimulus as a reinforcer

Front 32

Transitive CMO

Back 32

“In order to get from here to there you need something else”

Front 33

Omnibus Term

Back 33

Terms that cover various functions of stimuli at once. Refer to a stimulus that has multiple functions

Front 34

Aversive Stimulus

Back 34

An omnibus term that has various functions

Front 35

Aversive Stimulus

Back 35

Its presentation evokes behavior that terminates it. EO for negative reinforcement

Front 36

Aversive Stimulus

Back 36

Its onset weakens behavior that precedes its onset Positive punisher

Front 37

Aversive Stimulus

Back 37

Its offset strengthens behavior that precedes its offset Negative reinforcer

Front 38

Aversive Stimulus

Back 38

It may elicit smooth muscle and gland responses UE or CE

Front 39

Appetitive Stimulus

Back 39

An omnibus term that has various functions

Front 40

Appetitive Stimulus

Back 40

Its Onset strengthens Bx that precedes its onset

Front 41

Appetitive Stimulus

Back 41

Its Offset weakens Bx that precedes its offset

Front 42

Appetitive Stimulus

Back 42

It abates Bx that removes it

Front 43

Appetitive Stimulus

Back 43

It may elicit smooth muscle and gland responses

Front 44

Behavior Chain

Back 44

A complex behavior consisting of two or more response components that occur in definite order

Front 45

Behavior Chain

Back 45

A specific sequence of responses, each associated with a particular stimulus condition
