Cards

Term
Activity anorexia
Definition
Following a period of food restriction, physical activity suppresses food intake and declining body weight increases activity.
Term
Adjunctive behavior
Definition
Behaviors that occur within the interreinforcement period of a schedule of reinforcement but are not required for reinforcement; a.k.a. schedule-induced behavior
Term
Autoshaping
Definition
A respondent conditioning procedure that generates responses that are typically operant
Term
Behavior system
Definition
A species-specific set of responses elicited by a particular unconditioned stimulus
Term
Biological context
Definition
The evolutionary history and biological status of an organism,
Term
Conditioned place aversion
Definition
When a specific learning history causes a place to be avoided
Term
Conditioned place preference
Definition
When a specific place is preferred as a result of learning history
Term
Conditioned taste preference
Definition
When a taste is preferred as a result of learning history
Term
Context for conditioning
Definition
The ontogenetic and phylogenetic histories of an organism together with its current physiological status and the contextual events or stimuli that are present when conditioning occurs.
Term
Displacement behavior
Definition
Activities that occur in the natural environment that are unrelated to the current contingencies of reinforcement and are characterized as irrelevant, incongruous, or out of context.
Term
Facultative behavior
Definition
Non-functional behaviors generated by a reinforcement schedule
Term
Instinctive drift
Definition
Species-characteristic behavior that becomes invasive during conditioning
Term
Interim behavior
Definition
Adjunctive (a.k.a. schedule-induced) behavior that occurs at the beginning or middle of an interreinforcement period of a schedule of reinforcement but are not required for reinforcement
Term
Negative automaintenance
Definition
A respondent conditioning procedure together with a negative punishment proceudre such that the US is delivered only if the CR does NOT occur; the CR is negatively punished by cancelling the delvery of the US when the CR occurs; a.k.a. omission procedure
Term
Neuroplasticity
Definition
Alterations in neurons and neural interconnections during a lifetime by changes in environmental contingencies.
Term
Omission procedure
Definition
A respondent conditioning procedure together with a negative punishment proceudre such that the US is delivered only if the CR does NOT occur; the CR is negatively punished by cancelling the delvery of the US when the CR occurs; a.k.a. negative automaintenance
Term
Polydipsia
Definition
Excessive drinking
Term
Preparedness
Definition
When a particular stimulus-response association is easily conditioned because of phylogenetic history
Term
Schedule-induced behavior
Definition
Behaviors that occur within the interreinforcement period of a schedule of reinforcement but are not required for reinforcement; a.k.a. adjunctive behavior
Term
Shaping
Definition
Differential reinforcement of successive approximations of a desired response
Term
Sign tracking
Definition
Approaching a stimulus that signals a desired biologically relevant stimulus
Term
Stimulus substitution
Definition
An early explanation for respondent conditioning that suggested the conditioned response develops because the conditioned stimulus became a substitute for the unconditioned stimulus
Term
Taste aversion learning
Definition
When a distinctive taste (NS) is paired with a US that induces nausea or sickness (UR) and the distinctive taste becomes a CS that elicits nausea or sickness (CR)
Term
Terminal behavior
Definition
Activities related to the presentation of the reinforcer that individuals engage in as the time for reinforcement gets closer
