Definition
| behavior that is selected, maintainted, and brought under stimulus control as a function of its consequences: due to ontogenic provenance |

Term
|
Definition
| the basic process by which operant learning occurs; consequences result in an increased or decreased frequency of the behavior under similar motivational and environmental conditions in the future |

Term
|
Definition
| a stimulus change that follows a behavior of interest; a stimulus that follows a response |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| occurs when a stimulus / environmental change immediately follows a response and increases the future frequency of that type of behavior in similary conditions |
|
|
Term
| (list) classification of consequences |
|
Definition
reinforcement

|
|
Term
|
Definition
| occurs when stimulus / environmental change immediately following a response decreases the future frequency of that type of behavior in similar conditions |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| occurs when the removal of a stimulus immediately following a behavior increases the future frequency of that behavior |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| occurs when a behavior is followed immediately by the presentation of a stimulus that increases the future frequency of that behavior |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| a response behavior is followed immediately by the removal of a stimulus that decreases the future frequency of those responses |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| a behavior is followed immediately by the presentation of a stimulus that decreases the future frequency of that behavior |

|
|
Term
|
Definition
| conditioned positive punishment |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| unconditioned negative punishment |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| conditioned negative punishment |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| non-reinforcement of a previously reinforced behavior; primary effect is a decrease in the frequency of the behavior until it reaches a pre-reinforced level or ceases to occur |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| the process in which, when an operant behavior has ceased following extinction, the behavrio may re-occur at a later time in the same circumstances in which it was previously reinforced; sudden and temporary |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| an increase in the frequency of responding when an extinction procedure is initally implemented |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| reinforcement that occurs independent of others |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| punishment that occurs independent of others |
|
|
Term
| automaticity of reinforcement |
|
Definition
| refers to the fact that behavior is modified by its consequences irrespective of the person's awareness: works without verbal mediation |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| if the opportunity to engage in a "preferred" or "high probability" behavior is made contingent on engaging in a "less preferred" behavior, the future frequency of the "less preferred" behavior will increase (aka Grandma's Law) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| organisms learn through the consequences of their actions (E.L. Thorndike) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| a stimulus that is usually reinforcing without any prior learning; due to phylogenic provenance; aka primary reinforcers |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| a stimulus that initially has no innate reinforcing properties, but acquires reinforcing properties through pairing with unconditioned reinforcers; due to ontogenic provenance; secondary or learned reinforcers |
|
|
Term
| generalized conditioned reinforcer |
|
Definition
| a conditioned reinforcer that has been paired with a variety of other reinforcers and which is effective for a wide range of behaviors |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| a behavior that terminates an aversive stimulus; maintained by negative reinforcement |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| terminates a warning stimulus (conditioned aversive) whose presence is correlated with the upcoming onset of an unconditioned aversive stimulus; delays the onset of the aversive stimulus |
|
|
Term
| socially mediated reinforcement |
|
Definition
| reinforcement that is dependent on / involves interaction / mediation of others |
|
|
Term
socially mediated punishment
|
|
Definition
| punishment that is dependent on / involves interaction / mediation of others |
|
|
Term
| extinction through positive reinforcement |
|
Definition
| the reinforcer is withheld (not presented) |
|
|
Term
| extinction through negative reinforcement |
|
Definition
| the aversive antecendent is not withdrawn or removed |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| the process by which behaviors maintained by automatic reinforcement are placed on extinction by masking or removing the sensory consequence |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| a stimulus that usually is punishing without any prior learning; due to phylogenic provenance |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| a stimulus that initially has no punishing properties but acquires punishing properties through pairing with unconditioned punishers or strongly conditioned punishers; due to ontogenic provenance |
|
|
Term
| time out from positive reinforcement |
|
Definition
| the contingent withdrawal of the opportunity to earn positive reinforcement or the loss of access to positive reinforcers for a specified time |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| the process by which a previously punished behavior is strengthened by withholding punishment increasing the future frequency of that behavior, ususally in rates similary to baseline level |
|
|
Term
| differential reinforcement leading to differentiation |
|
Definition
consists of 2 operations: reinforcement and extinction; reinforcing some responses and not reinforcing other responses
R-S contingency
leads to differentiation |
|
|
Term
| differential reinforcement leading to discrimination |
|
Definition
consists of 2 operations: reinforcement and extinction; reinforcing a response when certain stimuli are present and not when reinforcing the same response when that stimuli is not present
S-R-S contingency
leads to discrimination |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| the differential reinfocement of successive approximations to a target behavior; used to establish a novel topography / dimension of a behavior |
