What is a simple conditioned reinforcer? |
When a conditioned reinforcer is only paired with a single back up reinforcer eg. ice cream man ringing bell is only associated with ice cream |
|
|
What is a generalized conditioned reinforcer? |
When a certain conditioned behavior is paired with more than 1 kind of reinforcer |
|
|
What is a behavior chain also knows a stimulus response chain? |
consistent sequence of stimuli and responses that occur closely to each other and where the last response is followed by a reinforcer |
|
|
What is more effective, forward or backward chaining? |
There the same |
|
|
What is the method of choice for people that dont have developmental disabilities? - Backward, forward or total task presentation? |
Total task presentation |
|
|
What is stimulus generalization? |
trained behavior transfers from training situation to target situation |
|
|
What is response generalization? |
training leads to development of new behavior that has not been specifically trained - some different behavior changes because it is similar to a certain behavior that has been practiced |
|
|
What is behavior maintenance? |
trained behavior persists in target situation over time - does behavior continue to occur without consequence? |
|
|
What is a behavioral trap? |
a contingency in which a behavior that has been developed by programmed reinforcers is "trapped" or maintained by natural reinforcers |
|
|
What is a behavior trap effective for? |
It is an effective way to program behavior maintenance |
|
|
What is an example of stimulus generalization using basketball? |
Making a proper lay up in practice and then making a lay up in a game |
|
|
What is an example of response generalization using basketball? |
Coach teachs and prasies proper foul shots and athletes foul shot seems to improve as well without practice because it is similar to a proper lay up |
|
|
what is a rule? |
Describes a situation in which a behavior will produce a consequence |
|
|
What is a contingency shaped behavior? |
behavior that develops bc of its immediate consequences rather than bc of a specific statement or rule |
|
|
What is rule governed behavior? |
behavior controlled by a rule eg. dont whisper while im talking and well have extra scrimmage time at the end of practice |
|
|
When are rules especially helpful? |
- when rapid behavior change is desirable - when consequences r delayed - when natural reinforcers are highly intermittent - when behavior will lead to serious or severe punishment |
|
|
What are the 5 conditions that affect likelihood of following rules? |
- specific vs vague descriptions of behavior - specific vs vague descriptions of circumstances - probable vs improbable consequences - sizeable consequences vs smal but cumulatively significant consequences - deadlines vs no deadlines |
|
|
What is mastery criterion? |
a specific guideline for performing a skill so that if the guideline is met, the skill is likely to be mastered |
|
|
What are effective goal setting techniques? |
- specific goals - mastery criteria - identify circumstances under which behavior should occur - realistic - public goals more effective than private - deadlines - feedback - commitment |
|
|
What is situational inducement? |
influence of behavior by using situations and occasions that already exert control over behavior. eg. restuarants provind relaxing atomspheres to ensure liesurely enjoyment of a full course meal |
