|
Task analysis |
an analysis of complex behavior and sequences of behavior into their component parts |
|
|
process vs product |
sometimes you need to make reinforcers and feedback contingent on the component responses of the process, not just the product |
|
|
response topography |
the sequence form or location of components of a response relative to the rest of the body |
|
|
location (topography) |
location is relative to the rest of the body, not to a location in space. |
|
|
form |
the way of doing something (think push ups) |
|
|
duration |
the time from the beginning to the end of a response |
|
|
latency |
the time between the signal or opportunity for a response and the beginning of a response |
|
|
response dimensions |
the physical properties of a response. includes force, pitch, topography, latency, and duration. |
|
|
function |
a responses effect on the environment. For example, no matter how you press the lever, it rings the bell. NOT AN EXAMPLE OF RESPONSE DIMENSION. |
|
|
Response class |
a set of response that either are similar on at least on response dimension, or share the effects of reinforcement and punishment, or serve the same function
|
|
|
location (not topography) |
relative in space |
|
|
effects |
the effects of the response outcome on the frequency of occurrence of members of the set of responses (the way the environment affects the behavior) |
|
|
function |
effects of the response on the environment |
|
|
response differentiation |
the reinforced response class occurs more frequently than the response class that is not reinforced, usually as a result of differential reinforcement. |
|
|
differential punishment procedure |
punishing one set of responses and withholding punishment of another set of responses. |
|
|
terminal behavior |
behavior not in the repertoire or not occurring at the desired frequency, the goal of the intervention |
|
|
operant level |
the frequency of responding before reinforcement. |
|
|
initial behavior |
behavior that resembles the terminal behavior, along some meaningful dimension and occurs with at least a minimal frequency |
|
|
intermediate behaviors |
behavior that more closely approximates the terminal behavior |
|
|
shaping with reinforcement |
the differential reinforcement of only the behavior that more and more closely resembles the terminal behavior |
|
|
shaping with punishment |
the differential punishment of all behavior except the which more and more closely resembles the terminal behavior |
|
|
variable out-comeshaping |
shaping that involves a change in the value of the reinforcer or aversive condition, as a performance more and more closely resembles the terminal behavior |
|
|
fixed outcome shaping |
shaping that involves no change in the value of the reinforcer or aversive condition, as the performance criterion more and more closely resembles the terminal behavior. |
|
|
behavioral chains |
a sequence of responses linked together with connecting stimuli |
|
|
unlearned aversive condition |
a stimulus that is aversive, though not as a result of pairing with other aversive stimuli |
|
|
unlearned reinforcer |
a stimulus that is a reinforcer, though not as a result of pairing with another reinforcer |
|
|
deprivation |
withholding a reinforcer, increases relevant learning and performance |
|
|
satiation |
consul ing a substantial amount of a reinforcer, temporarily decreases relevant learning and performance. |
|
|
motivating operation |
a procedure or condition that affects learning and performance, with respect to a particular reinforcer or aversive condition |
|
|
premack principle |
if one activity occurs more often than another, the opportunity to do the more frequent activity will reinforce the less frequent activity. |
