Term
Interbehavioral Psychology
Definition
Structure-bound conceptual system in which it is inferred that, because certain antecedents are distinguishable from discrete stimuli, the mechanisms that affect b must also be distinct
Term
contextual or Ecological variables
Definition
Non-discrete stimuli which overlap with discrete antecedent Bx relationships
Term
SD
Definition
Discriminative stimulus for Reinforcement
Term
S Delta
Definition
Discriminative Stimulus for Extinction
Term
SDP
Definition
Discriminative Stimulus for Punishment
Term
SDs __________ Bx
Definition
SDs evoke Bx because in the past that Bx has been reinforced in its presence
Term
SDs are correlated with the ____________ of reinforcement
Definition
Availability
Term
S Deltas ________ Bx because in the past that Bx has been extinguished in its presence
Definition
S Deltas abate Bx because in the past that Bx has been extinguished in its presence
Term
SDeltas are correlated with the _________ of reinforcement
Definition
unavailability
Term
Motivating Operation
Definition
An antecedent condition that has two effects: value altering & behavior altering
Term
MOs have two effects:
Definition
Value altering & Bx altering
Term
MO value altering effect:
Definition
momentary alteration in the effectiveness of a stimulus as a reinforce; momentary increase or decrease in the effectiveness of a reinforcer
Term
MO Bx altering effect
Definition
alters the momentary frequency of any bx that has been reinforced by the stimulus whose value (effectiveness) has been altered by that same MO; evokes or abates bx
Term
EOs Related to Reinforcement
Definition
Establishing operations related to reinforcement are MOs that increase the value of other events as forms of reinforcement; they evoke the type of bx that has been reinforced by those events in the past
Term
AOs related to reinforcement
Definition
Abolishing operations related to reinforcement are MOs that decrease the value of other events as forms of reinforcement; they abate the bx
Term
Time based schedules
Definition
Non-contingent stimulus presentation or Response independent stimulus delivery
Term
High P
Definition
High probability of compliance
Term
Low P
Definition
Low probability of compliance
Term
Behavioral momentum
Definition
the tendency for a pattern of bx, once established, to persist despite some opposition to the response-reinforce relationship
Term
Bx momentum formula
Definition
bx mass times bx velocity
Term
behavioral mass
Definition
the resistance of the baseline response rate to change when the response reinforcer relationship is disrupted
Term
Behavioral velocity
Definition
equal to the (baseline) response rate
Term
Response Reinforcer Disruptors
Definition
extinction
satiation
dark key food (periods between components)
punishment
DRA & FT/VT reinforcement
Distrations
Term
Factors affecting the effectiveness of high P instructional sequence
Definition
1. inter high p -low p interval
2. reinforce quality for high p compliance
3. Variability of the high p instructions
Term
Noncompliance
Definition
A lack of stimulus control
Term
Developing compliance
Definition
developing stimulus control
