Behavioral Exam 4

Front 1

avoidance theory of punishment

Back 1

punishment involving a type of avoidance conditioning in which the avoidance response consists of any behavior other than the behavior being punished

Front 2

conditioned suppression theory of punishment

Back 2

the asumption that punishmentdoes no weaken a behavior but instead produces an emotional response that interferes witht he occurence of the bahvior

Front 3

ERP

Back 3

exposure and response prevention

Front 4

exposure and response prevention

Back 4

punishment that is not an inherend aspect of the behavior that involves prolonged exposure to anxiety-arousing events while not engaging in the compulsive behavior pattern that reduces the anxiety

Front 5

extrinsic punishment

Back 5

punishment that is not an inherent aspect of the behavior being punished but that simply follows the behavior

Front 6

generalized/secondary punisher

Back 6

an event that has become punishing because it has in the past been associated with many other punishers

Front 7

intrinsic punishment

Back 7

punishment that is an inherent aspect of the behavior being punished

Front 8

learned helplessness

Back 8

a decrement in learning ability that results from repeated exposure to uncontrollable aversive events

Front 9

premack principle of punishment

Back 9

a low-probability behavior can be used to punish a high probability behavior

Front 10

primary/conditioned punisher

Back 10

any even that is innately punishing

Front 11

time-out

Back 11

a form of negative punishment involving the loss of access to positive reinforcers for a breif period of time following the occurrence of a problem behavior

Front 12

two-process theory of avoidance

Back 12

the theory that avoidance behavior is the results of two distinct processes: 1. classical conditioning in which a fear response comes to be elicted by a CS and 2. operant conditioning in which moving away from the CS is negatively reinforced by a reduction in fear.

Front 13

one-process theory of avoidance

Back 13

the act of avoidance is negatively reinforced by the lower rate of aversive stimulation it is associated with

Front 14

bias from matching

Back 14

a deviation from matching in which one alternative attracts a higher proprotoin of responses than would be predicted by matching, regardless of whether that alternative contains the richer versus poorer schedule

Front 15

commitment response

Back 15

an action carried out at an early point in time that serves to either eliminate or reduce the value of an upcoming temptation

Front 16

concurrent schedules of reinforcement

Back 16

a complex schedule consisting of the simutaneous presentation of two or more independent schedules, each leading to a reinforcer

Front 17

impulsiveness

Back 17

with respect to chioce between two rewards, selecting the smaller, sooner reward

Front 18

matching law

Back 18

the principle that the proportion of responses emitted on a patricular schedule matches the proportoin of reinforcers obtained on that schedule

Front 19

melioration theory

Back 19

a theory of matching that holds that the distribution of behavior in a chioce situation shifts toward those alternatives that have higher value regardless of the long-term effect on overall amount of reinforcement

Front 20

overmatching

Back 20

a deviation from matching in whcih the proportion of responses on the richer schedules versus poorer schedule is more different than would be predicted by matching

Front 21

self-control

Back 21

with response to choice between two rewards, selecting a larger, longer reward

Front 22

small-but-cumulative effect model

Back 22

each individual choice on a self-control task has only a small but cumulative effect on our likelihood of obtaining the desired long-term outcome

Front 23

undermatching

Back 23

a deviation form matching in which the proportion of responses on the richer schedules versus the poorer schedule is less different than would be predicted by matching

Front 24

Mowrer

Back 24

two process theory of avoidance

Front 25

anxiety conservation hypothesis

Back 25

avoidance responses usually occur so quicly that there is insufficient exposure to the CS for the conditioned fear to fully extinguish

Front 26

Lewis

Back 26

animals are less fearful, but fear is not gone thus no extinction

Front 27

Mineka

Back 27

two limitations in applying avoidance models to humans

Front 28

Stampfl

Back 28

designed rat alleyway

Front 29

response cost

Back 29

the removal of a specific reinforcer following the occurrence of a problem behavior

Front 30

Hernstein

Back 30

one process theory of avoidance

Front 31

matching for frequency of rft

Back 31

The ratio of two behaviors B matches the ratio of their associated reinforcement frequencies R.

Front 32

matching for quality of rft

Back 32

The ratio of two behaviors B matches the ratio of their associated reinforcement Quality Q.

Front 33

matching for amount of rft

Back 33

The ratio of two behaviors B matches the ratio of their associated reinforcement amounts A.

Front 34

single schedule matching

Back 34

The ratio of time spent responding (vs not responding) matches the ratio of associated reinforcement R.

Front 35

controlling response

Back 35

what you do to change the likelihood of your future behavioral choice.

Front 36

controlled response

Back 36

the consequent choice you make when faced with the operant choice situation

Front 37
