|
Before: Lucille has no attention.
Behavior: Lucille wanders into the nurses' office After: Lucille has no attention. |
|
Extinction following Reinforcement principle
|
-Stopping the reinforcement or escape contingency
-for a previously reinforced response -causes the response frequency to decrease |
|
Josh's extinction to reduce a multiply maintained behavior contingency
|
Before: Josh gets attention, toys, and chips.
Behavior: Josh runs away. After: Josh does not get attention, toys, and chips. |
|
Extinction Bursts
|
Initial increases in the response frequency, magnitude, or intensity, especially if that response has an "emotional" or aggressive component
|
|
Spontaneous Recovery
|
-A temporary recovery of the extinguished behavior
-during the first part of each of the extinction sessions -that follow the first session |
|
Recovery from Punishment
|
-Stopping the punishment or penalty contingency
-for a previously punished response -causes the response frequency to increase -to its frequency before the punishment or penalty contingency |
|
Extinction vs Punishment
|
You should use extinction rather than punishment when you can figure out how to do it and when the behavior is not so harmful that the extinction procedure might be dangerously slow
|
|
Forgetting procedure
|
-Preventing the opportunity (or occasion) for a response
|
|
Extinction Procedure
|
-Withholding the reinforcer
|
|
Moral necessity to evaluate interventions
|
-moral obligation to collect data and carefully evaluate effectiveness of interventions
-also have a moral obligation to publish our results |
|
Reversal Design
|
-An experimental design
-in which we reverse -between intervention and baseline conditions -to assess the effects of those conditions |
|
To confound variables
|
-To change or allow to change two or ore independent variables at the same time
-so you cannot determine what variables are responsible for the change in the dependent variable |
|
Control Condition
|
A condition not containing the presumed crucial value of the independent variable
-shows whether the value of the independent variable really was crucial to the results obtained |
