Omnibus terms

terms that

cover various Functions of stimuli

at once

Omnibus terms

Refer to stimulus

that has Multiple functions

Aversive stimulus

Its presentation Evokes behavior that

Terminates it

Aversive stimulus

Its Offset Strengthens behavior that

Precedes its offset

Aversive stimulus

Its Onset Weakens behavior that

Precedes its onset

Aversive stimulus

It may Elicit smooth muscle and gland

responses

EO for negative reinforcement

Its presentation evokes behavior

that terminates it

Negative reinforcement

Its offset strengthens behavior that precedes its offset

Positive punishment

Its onset weakens behavior that precedes its onset

Conditioned stimulus

It may elicit smooth muscle and gland responses

Appetitive stimulus

Is omnibus term

Positive reinforcement

Its onset strengthens bx that precedes its onset

Negative punishment

Its offset weakens behavior that precedes its offset

EO for negative reinforcement

It abates bx that removes it

Conditioned stimulus

It may elicit smooth muscle and gland response

Behavior chain

Complex bx consisting of 2 or more responses in order

Parts of chain

Links

Parameters of reinforcement

Magnitude, duration, quantity

Schedule of reinforcement

Rule that specifies which response will be followed by reinforcement and which will not

CRF

Each and every single response emitted is reinforced

Ext

Schedule of non-reinforcement, no bx is ever reinforced

CRF

Used to establish or strengthen bx

Intermittent reinforcement

Used to maintain bx

Ratio schedule

Reinforcement delivered after certain # responses

Interval Schedule

Reinforcement delivered for the first response after a certain amount of time since last reinforcement

Fixed schedule

# responses or amt of time remains same

Variable schedule

Amt of time or # responses is random but centers around a value

Limited Hold

Restriction placed on an interval schedule requiring response to occur in time limit

Limited hold

Some increase in rate no change in pattern

Fixed schedules

Unsteady responding

Variable schedules

Steady responding

Fixed schedules

Responding occurs in pause and burst pattern

Ratio schedules

Produce higher rates of responding

FR

All or none schedule

VR

Steady and high rates of responding

Ratio strain

If schedule thinned too quickly

FI scallop

Produce by FI schedule, pause in responding imm after reinforcement

VI

Steady, low to moderate rates of responding

Fixed time

Reinforcement delivered after amount of time with no contingency

Time based schedules

Non-contingent stimulus presentation

DRH

Require minimum # responses in time period

DRH criteria

Set b/t average baseline and highest rate during baseline

DRH IRT

Adds contingency, governs times b/t responses

Ex: double clicking mouse

Behavioral contrast

Bx that is maintained in 2 or more contexts, when conditioned introduced in one context affects the behavior in other contexts without intervention
