|
Abolishing operation |
A motivating operation that decreases the reinforcing effectiveness of a stimulus, object, or event. |
Mo |
|
|
Automatic reinforcement |
Reinforcement that occurs independent of the social mediation of others. (Example: scratching an insect bite relieves the itch) |
|
|
|
Aversive Stimulus |
An unpleasant or noxious stimulus |
|
|
|
Behavior |
The activity of living organisms, includes everything that you do. |
|
|
|
Concurrent schedule |
Schedule of reinforcement in which 2 or more contingencies of reinforcement operates independently and simultaneously for 2 or more behaviors. |
|
|
|
Automatic punishment |
Punishment that occurs independent of the social mediation by others |
|
|
|
Discrete trial |
Any operant whose response rate is controlled by a given opportunity to emit the response. |
|
|
|
Frequency |
A ratio of count per observation time |
|
|
|
Neutral stimulus |
A stimulus change that does not elicit respondent behavior |
|
|
|
Positive punishment |
A behavior is followed immediately by the presentation of a stimulus that decreases the future frequency of the behavior |
|
|
|
Positive reinforcement |
Occurs when a behavior is followed immediately by the presentation of a stimulus that increases the future frequency of the behavior in similar conditions. |
|
|
|
Negative punishment |
A response behavior is followed immediately by the removel of a stimulus (or a decrease in the intensity of the stimulus ) that decreases the future frequency of similar responses under similar conditions. |
|
|
|
Negative reinforcement |
The occurrence of a response produces the removal, termination, reduction, or postponement of a stimulus, which leads to an increase in future occurrence of that response. |
|
|
|
Post reinforcement pause |
Absence of responding for a period of time following reinforcement. |
|
|
|
Punisher |
A stimulus change that decreases the future frequency of behavior that immediately precedes it. |
|
|
|
Reinforcer |
A stimulus change that increases the future frequency of behavior that immediately precedes it. |
|
|
|
Response cost |
The contingent loss of reinforcer (a fine), producing a decrease of the frequency of behavior, a form of negative punishment. |
|
|
|
Satiation (say-she-ation) |
A decrease in the frequency of operant behavior presumed to be the result of continued contact with or consumption of a reinforcer that has followed the behavior. |
|
|
|
Target behavior |
The response class selected for intervention; can be defined either functionally or topographically. |
|
|
|
Backward chaining |
A teaching procedure in which a trainer completes all but the last behavior in a chain, which is performed by the learner, who then receives reinforcement for completing the chain. |
|
|
|
Differential reinforcement of alternative behavior (DRA) |
A procedure for decreasing problem behavior in which reinforcement is delivered for a behavior that serves as a desirable alternative to the behavior targeted for reduction and withheld following instances of the role behavior. |
|
|
|
Differential reinforcement of incompatible behavior (DRI) |
A procedure for decreasing problem behavior in which reinforcement is delivered for a behavior that is topographically incompatible with the behavior targeted for reduction and withheld following instances of the problem behavior. |
|
|
|
Differential reinforcement of other behavior (DRO) |
A procedure for decreasing problem behavior in which reinforcement is contingent on the absence of the problem behavior during or at specific times. |
|
|
|
Extinction burst |
An increase in the frequency of responding when an extinction procedure is initially implemented. |
|
|
|
Task analysis |
The process of breaking a complex skill or series of behaviors into smaller, teachable units; also refers to the results of this process. |
|
|
|
Discrimination training |
Is the process by which we move a target from introduction to mastery. |
|
|
|
Generalization |
1. Skills are not mastered until the student can do them across people, places, and materials. 2. Between different people. |
|
|
|
Discrete trial |
A teaching session involves many trials, with each trial having a distinct beginning and end. Sd-R-SR. A three part teaching unit in which skills are broken into small parts. |
