Term
Construction of SDs
Definition
Creating or developing stimuli to regulate future behavior; the major function of precurrent behavior
Term
Contingency-governed behavior (a.k.a. contingency-shaped behavior)
Definition
Operant behavior maintained (i.e., governed) or developed (i.e., shaped) under the direct control of existing contingencies
Term
Contingency-specifying stimuli
Definition
Verbal stimuli that function as SDs to regulate the behavior of listeners by describing contingencies
Term
Correspondence relations
Definition
Contingencies where the SD is the behavior of another individual and the target behavior is topographically similar to the SD or, in the case of a contingency-specifying SD, includes the characteristics specified
Term
Delayed imitation
Definition
Imitation of a modeled behavior after a delay and in the absence of the model or modeled behavior.
Term
Function-altering events
Definition
Verbal stimuli such as rules or instructions that can alter the function other stimuli and thereby alter the behavior-envorpnment relations of which those other stimuli are a part.
Term
Generalized imitation
Definition
A higher-order operant that emerges following reinforcement of imitative behavior involving different modeled behaviors and is characterized by a imitation of novel modeled behaviors
Term
Imitation
Definition
Behavior that duplicates one or more characteristics of the behavior exhibited by another individual
Term
Joint control
Definition
When two or more stimuli or stimulus dimensions exert control over a common response
Term
Mirror neurons
Definition
Neurons that fire both when an individual performs as action as well as when the individual observe the same action performed by another individual
Term
model
Definition
an individual who performs a behavior to be imitated
Term
modeled behavior (a.k.a. modeled performance or modeled stimulus)
Definition
a behavior to be imitated
Term
modeling
Definition
the procedure of presenting a behavior to be imitated
Term
Observational learning
Definition
When the behavior of an individual is influenced by observing the behaviors of others and the consequences others experience for those behaviors
Term
Opaque imitation
Definition
Duplicating a behavior of another individual that the imitator cannot see himself or herself performing when duplicating it
Term
Operant imitation
Definition
Imitative behavior that is controlled by its consequences
Term
Precurrent behavior
Definition
Operant behavior that creates or develops stimuli to regulate future behavior
Term
Rule-governed behavior
Definition
Operant behavior maintained (i.e., governed) or developed under the control of contingency-specifying stimuli (such as rules)
Term
Self-generated rules
Definition
Contingency-specifying stimuli we create for ourselves
Term
Spontaneous imitation (a.k.a. innate imitation)
Definition
An instance of imitative behavior that occurs without any previous learning history
