Reinforcement/reinforcer Assessment

Front 1

How To Assess Reinforcement (3)

Back 1

1. Reinforcement Assessment

2. Reinforcement Sampling

3. Reinforcer Effectiveness

Front 2

Contingencies

Back 2

Relationship between behaviors/responses and their antecedent and consequence (if... then...)

Front 3

Why Are Reinforcement Contingencies Important? (3)

Back 3

1. Establish Pattern of Learning

2. Accomplish Behavior Change

3. Determine Appropriateness of Objectives

Front 4

Premack Principle

Back 4

Behaviors than an individual engages in freely may be used to reinforce low-probability behaviors (watch TV after cleaning room)

Front 5

Acquiring Conditioned (learning) Reinforcing Properties

Back 5

Pairing reinforcing stimulus with strong unconditioned/conditioned reinforcer

Front 6

Advantages of Social Reinforcement (3)

Back 6

1. Convenient

2. Practical

3. Natural (functional)

Front 7

Social Reinforcement

Back 7

Interpersonal acts that serve a reinforcing funtion

Front 8

When selecting reinforcement, it's best to use reinforcers that as closely tied to ________ of behavior for long lasting change

Back 8

natural function

Front 9

Examples Of Reinforcing Inappropriate Behavior (2)

Back 9

1. Delivery of preferred stimulus

2. Removal of non-preferred stimulus

Front 10

Satiation may occur more rapidly with ______

Back 10

edibles

Front 11

Satiation less of a factor with __________

Back 11

social reinforcement

Front 12

Advantages of Natural Reinforcement (4)

Back 12

1. Ease

2. Easier to shift back to normal routine

3. Less likely to concern parents, teachers, staff, public

4. Do no make the student stand out from typically developing peers

Front 13

Establishing Operations (EO)

Back 13

Events that strengthen reinforcing value of a stimulus and increase rates of the behavior that produces the event (examples: hunger, thirst, fatigue, cold, etc.)

Front 14

_________ allow increase in the number of responses/ amount of time between target behavior and accessing reinforcement

Back 14

Token economy sytstems

Front 15

Types Reinforcement Schedules (4)

Back 15

1. Continuous (CRF)

2. Intermittent

3. Ratio Schedules (fixed-ratio, variable-ratio)

4. Interval Schedules (fixed-interval, variable-interval)

Front 16

Continuous Reinforcement Schedule (2)

Back 16

1. Consistent, constant

2. Goal to increase or stabilize behavior

Front 17

Intermittent Reinforcement Schedule (2)

Back 17

1. Sporadic, occasional

2. When behavior is established at high and steady rate to reduce frequency and regularity of reinforcement

Front 18

Fixed Ratio Schedule

Back 18

Reinforcing after a fixed number of responses (FR-3)

Front 19

Variable Ratio Schedule

Back 19

Reinforcing after a variable number of responses

Front 20

Fixed-Interval Schedule

Back 20

Reinforcing first response after a fixed period of time

Front 21

Variable-Interval Schedule

Back 21

Reinforcing the first response after a varying period of time
