|
Antecedent
|
Event before the behavior
|
|
|
Adventitious Reinforcement
|
Refers to accidental reinforcement, results in superstitious behavior. In this kind of reinforcement, the reinforcer is not produced by the response, but nontheless occurs after it. Ex: Pitcher wears socks and has good game, then wears sock at all games.

|
|
Antecedent
|
Event before the behavior
|
|
|
Audience
|
The individual(s) who provides the reinforcement for VB. The audience is an SD for the VB.
|
|
|
Avoidance behavior
|
Avoidance behavior that is reinforced by the postponement or avoidance of an aversive stimulus (negative reinforcer).
|
|
|
Behavior
|
Interaction of a person and his/her environment. Action of the muscles and/or glands
|
|
|
Behavior contrast: negative
|
When a treated behavior increases (e.g., ext or punishment), and the same untreated behavior in another situation decreases. In the laboratory, contrast is studied in multiple schedules.
|
|
|
Behavior contrast: positive
|
When a treated behavior decreases (e.g., ext or punishment), and the same untreated behavior in another situation increases. In the laboratory, contrast is studied in multiple schedules.
|
|
|
Categories of functions
|
"Positive reinforcement (Direct and SM) Negative reinforcement (Direct and SM)"
|
|
|
COD
|
Change over delay - when a concurrent superstition occurs, a delay is programmed after the first behavior occurs to eliminate the superstition.
|
|
|
Collateral Measures
|
Measures of behaviors other than the primary target behaviors
|
|
|
Concurrent superstition
|
When a behavior (e.g., tantrum) is maintained by the reinforcer for another behavior (e.g., mand for food).
|
|
|
Conditioned Motivative Operations (CMO)
|
Have the same effects that motivative operations have, but are due to a conditioning history
|
|
|
Conditioned Reinforcer (punisher)
|
A consequence that increases (or decreases) the rate of behavior because it has been paired with another reinforcer (or punisher)
|
|
|
Consequence
|
Event that occurs after the behavior
|
|
|
Contingency
|
Dependency among behavior and stimuli or among stimuli. Can be expressed as an If-Then Statement.
|
|
|
Contingency Shaped Behavior
|
Behavior that occurs because it has resulted from direct exposure to contingencies.
|
|
|
CR
|
Conditioned Response – a response elicited by a conditioned stimulus
|
|
|
CS
|
Conditioned Stimulus – a neutral stimulus that comes to elicit a conditioned response through pairing with a US
|
|
|
Cycle
|
A description of behavior that specifies when a behavior begins and when it ends.
|
|
|
Dead Man’s Test
|
Test for evaluating whether a goal or objective is viable. If a dead man can do it, then it may not be a functional, useful goal.
|
|
|
Deprivation
|
Absence of reinforcer for a period of time, thereby making that event more effective as a reinforcer.
|
|
|
Descriptive Assessment
|
Includes: records review, interviews of clients or significant others, and direct observations. The goal is to identify patterns of behavior, topographies and frequencies in order to develop an hypothesis
|
|
|
Discrete Trials
|
An instructional method wherein the client is presented with formal opportunity to perform behavior. Consequence is provided depending on behavior.
|
|
|
Discriminated Operant
|
Behavior that requires some "opportunity" or specific antecedent to occur. Ex: in order to follow directions, there must first be a direction given.
