Mr. Raaymakers Class

Front 1

Terminal Behavior

Back 1

Behavior not yet in the repertoire or occurring at the desired rate, the goal of the intervention

Front 2

Reinforcement Contingency

Back 2

The response-contingent presentation of a reinforcer resulting in a increased frequency of the response

Front 3

Behavior

Back 3

A muscle, glandular, or neuro-electrical activity

Front 4

Task Analysis

Back 4

An analysis of complex behavior and series of behaviors into their component responses

Front 5

Reinforcer

Back 5

A stimulus that increases the frequency of the response it follows

Front 6

Satiation

Back 6

Consuming a substantial amount of a reinforcer temporarily decreases relevant learning and performance

Front 7

Unlearned Reinforcer

Back 7

A stimulus that is a reinforcer without being paired with another reinforcer

Front 8

Punishment Contingency

Back 8

The response-contingent presentation of an aversive condition resulting in a decreased frequency of the response

Front 9

Differential Reinforcement of Alternative Behavior

Back 9

The replacement of an inappropriate response with a specific appropriate that produces the same reinforcing outcome

Front 10

Shaping

Back 10

Reinforcing successive approximations to a target behavior

Front 11

Premack Principle

Back 11

If one activity occurs more frequently than another, the opportunity to do the more frequent activity will reinforce the less frequent activity

Front 12

Extinction

Back 12

Stopping the reinforcement or escape contingency on a previously reinforced response

Front 13

Escape Contingency

Back 13

The response-contingent removal of an aversive condition resulting the increased frequency of that response

Front 14

Check the reinforcer

Back 14

Before Spending much time trying to reinforce behavior, be sure you have a true reinforcer

Front 15

Dead man test

Back 15

If a dead man can do it, it probably isn't behavior

Front 16

Discriminative Stimulus

Back 16

A stimulus in the presence of which a particular response will be reinforced or punished

Front 17

Prompt

Back 17

A supplemental stimulus that raises the probability of a correct response

Front 18

Behavioral Contingency

Back 18

The occasion for a response, the response, and the outcome of the response
