behavior taxonomy
|
a way to talk about behavior that captres what we influenced and how we influenced it
|
|
|
experimental operations
|
procedures for studying behavior, can be thought of as independent variable and cause
|
|
|
behavioral processes
|
changes in behavior, can be thought of as dependent variable and effect
|
|
|
fixed action procedure (FAP)
|
a series of connected movements that are phylogenic in origin, known at birth
|
|
|
releasing stimulus
|
the events that are required to initiate a fixed action pattern
|
|
|
reinforcing consequence
|
increases future probability of a response
|
|
|
punishing consequence
|
decreases the future probability of a response
|
|
|
consequation
|
describes what you did contingent on behavior
|
|
|
anthropomorphism
|
attributing human-like qualities to an animal
|
|
|
discriminative stimulus
|
a stimulus in the presence of which responding will be reinforced
|
|
|
establishing operation
|
altering the effectiveness of some stimlus as a consequence for behavior
|
|
|
elicited behavior
|
stimulus comes before behavior and is primary cause for a response
|
|
|
emitted behavior
|
response occurs in the presence of a stimulus because the stimulus signals some consequence of responding
|
|
|

|
|
What question should you ask to determine if a behavior is elicited or emitted?
|

|
|
|
deprivation
|
withhold stimulus
|
|
|
satiation
|
over-provide stimulus
|
|
|
observation
|
directly observe in the lab or natural environment
|
|
|
stimulus presentation
|
present stimulus and measure behavior
|
|
|
consequential procedure
|
the response has a consequence, reinforcing consequences increase the future probability of the response, while punishing consequences decrease it
|
|
|
stimulus control and stimulis presentation
|
signaling operation can be superimposed on stimulus presentation, classical conditioning
|
|
|
stimulus control and consequence presentation
|
operant conditioning
|
|
|

rat in box with lights is given food when it presses a lever while the green light is on

|
consequation
|
