Front 1

Abolishing operation (AO)

Back 1

A type of motivating operation. an event that decreases the potency of a particular reinforcer at a particular time and makes the behavior that produces that reinforcer less likely to occur. Satiation is a type of abolishing operation.

Front 2

Acquisition

Back 2

The development of a new Behavior through reinforcement.

Front 3

Aversive stimulus

Back 3

a stimulus that will decrease the future probability of a behavior when the stimulus is delivered contingent on the occurrence of the behavior. Also called a punisher.

Front 4

Avoidance behavior

Back 4

A behavior that prevents an aversive event. The behavior is negatively reinforced by the avoidance of the aversive event.

Front 5

Backup reinforcer

Back 5

reinforcers is used in a token economy. A client receives tokens for desirable behaviors and exchanges a specified number of tokens for any of a variety of backup reinforcers.

Front 6

Concurrent operants

Back 6

two or more of different behaviors or response options are concurrently available for the person. Each response option is associated with a specific reinforcement schedule.

Front 7

Concurrent schedules of reinforcement

Back 7

Schedules of reinforcement that exist at the same time for two or more different behaviors (which are called concurrent operants). which particular Behavior occurs at a particular time depends on the relative schedule of reinforcement, magnitude of reinforcement, delay of reinforcement, and response effort for the available behaviors.

Front 8

Conditioned reinforcer

Back 8

a previously neutral stimulus that has been paired a number of times with an established reinforcer and subsequently functions as a reinforcer itself.

Front 9

Consequence

Back 9

The stimulus or event occurring immediately after a behavior.

Front 10

Contingency

Back 10

A relationship between a response and a consequence in which the consequence is presented if and only if the response occurs. When such a relationship exists, the consequence is said to be contingent on the response.

Front 11

Continuous reinforcement (CRF) schedule

Back 11

A schedule of reinforcement in which each instance of the behavior is followed by the reinforcer.

Front 12

Deprivation

Back 12

a condition in which the person has gone without a particular reinforcer for a period of time. Deprivation is a type of establishing operation; it makes the reinforcer the person has gone without more potent.

Front 13

Escape Behavior

Back 13

Behavior that results in the termination of an aversive stimulus. The termination of the aversive stimulus negatively reinforces the behavior.
