Behavior And Learning Exam #3

Front 1

Short-term Contingencies vs. Long-term Consequences

Back 1

Short Term Contingencies: Control the behavior, excess of positive reinforcing means less response effort and has negative consequences. Alternate behavior is less reinforcing and causes more response effort but leads to positive consequences.

Front 2

Goal Setting

Back 2

In self management a behavioral contract functions as goal setting. Person decides on an writes down the desired level of the target behavior he or she hopes to achieve as a result of self-management procedures

Front 3

Self-monitoring

Back 3

A type of direct observation data collection in which the client observes and records his or her own behavior as it occurs

Front 4

Antecedent Control Procedures

Back 4

-Involves altering the environment in advance of the target behavior

-Addresses antecedents rather than consequences of operant behavior

-Increases the probability of the desirable target behavior and decreases the probability of undesirable alternative behavior

-Also called stimulus control procedures or situational inducement

Front 5

Problems in Self-Management Programs

Back 5

Short Term Contingencies

Front 6

Habit Behaviors

Back 6

Nervous Habits (nail biting), Tics and Tourettes, Stuttering

Front 7

Awareness Training (Habit Reversal)

Back 7

Response description and detection procedures, goal is to detect each occurrence of the behavior and the antecedents

Front 8

Competing Response Training (Habit Reversal)

Back 8

Identify a physically incompatible response, Implement the competing response (CR) contingent on the habit behavior, Use the CR in anticipation of the habit behavior

Front 9

Social Support (Habit Reversal)

Back 9

Parent spouse or significant other is involved in treatment, prompt client to use CR, Praise client for absence of the habit behavior and for correct use of the CR (DRA)

Front 10

Shaping

Back 10

Establish new behavior gradually, reinforcing successive approximations to the terminal goal behavior while extinguishing previous approximations, reinforcement and extinction (principles involved)

Front 11

Fading

Back 11

Gradually removing the prompt

Front 12

Prompt

Back 12

An already effective Sd used when the the target Sd fails to control responding

Front 13

Extra stimulus prompting

Back 13

adding a stimulus to help make the appropriate discrimination

Front 14

Within stimulus prompting

Back 14

Altering the target Sd to make it more effective, change the shape, size, color, or intensity

Front 15

Chaining

Back 15

Linking of component behaviors into a more complex, composite behavior

Front 16

Task Analysis (Chaining)

Back 16

breaking down the components of chaining

Front 17

Components of Behavior (Chaining)

Back 17

See back of study guide

Front 18

Behavioral Contract (Step 1-3)

Back 18

1. Identify the target behavior and criterion level

2. State how the behavior will be measured

3. State when the behavior must occur

4. Identify the consequences

5. Identify who will implement the contingency

6. Signatures
