|
Decrease in the frequency of operant behavior presumed to be the result of continued contact with or consumption of a reinforcer that has followed the behavior
|
|
Unconditioned punisher
|
Stimulus change that decreased the frequency of any behavior that immediately precedes it irrespective of the organism's learning history
|
|
Conditioned reinforcer
|
Stimulus change that functions as a reinforcer because of prior pairing with one or more other reinforcers
|
|
Conditioned punisher
|
Previous neutral stimulus change that functions as a punisher because of prior pairing with one or more other punishers
|
|
Discriminated operant
|
An operant that occurs more frequently under some antecedent conditions than under others
|
|
Stimulus control
|
A situation in which the frequency, latency, duration, or amplitude of a behavior is altered by the presence or absence of an antecedent stimulus
|
|
Discriminative stimulus (Sd)
|
A stimulus in the presence of which responses of some type have been reinforced and in the absence of which the same type of responses have occurred and not been reinforced; increases the momentary frequency of the behavior
|
|
Thee-term contingency
|
Basic unit of the analysis of operant behavior.
Encompasses the temporal and possibly dependent relations among an Antecedent stimulus, Behavior, and Consequence: A--B--C |
|
Contingency
|
Dependent and/or temporal relations between operant behavior and its controlling variables
|
|
Contingent
|
Describes reinforcement (or punishment) that is delivered only after the target behavior has occurred
|
|
History of reinforcement
|
All of a person's learning experiences and more specifically to past conditioning with respect to particular response classes or aspects of a person's repertoire
