|
|
|
Rule control
|
-The statement of a rule
-controls the response -described in that rule |
|
|
Rule-governed behavior
|

|
|
|
Contingency control
|
-Direct control of behavior
-by a contingency, -without the involvement of rules |
|
|
Reinforcement contingency
|
-The immediate,
-response-contingent, -presentation of -a reinforcer -resulting in an -increased frequency of that response |
|
|
What do most indirect-acting contingencies involve?
|
Deadlines
|
|
|
Direct-acting contingency
|
-A contingency for which
-the outcome of the response -reinforces or punishes that response |
|
|
What type of outcomes do direct-acting contingencies involve?
|
Outcomes that follow the response by less than approximately 60 seconds
|
|
|
Indirect-acting contingency (rule-governed)
|
-A contingency that controls the response,
-but not because the outcome -reinforces or punishes that response |
|
|
Ineffective contingency

When are two procedures analogous?
|
When they are alike in some ways and not in other important ways
|
|
|
An analog to reinforcement
|
a response occurs and one day later a reinforcer follows, and that responses increases in frequency as a result
|
|
|
Rule-governed analog to a behavioral contingency
|
-An increase in the frequency of a response
-because of a rule describing the contingency |
