Term
|
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
|
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
|
Definition
| Imitation of a modeled behavior after a delay and in the absence of the model or modeled behavior. |
|
|
Term
|
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
|
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
|
Definition
| Behavior that duplicates one or more characteristics of the behavior exhibited by another individual |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| When two or more stimuli or stimulus dimensions exert control over a common response |
|
|
Term
|
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
|
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
|
Definition
| the procedure of presenting a behavior to be imitated |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| When the behavior of an individual is influenced by observing the behaviors of others and the consequences others experience for those behaviors |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Duplicating a behavior of another individual that the imitator cannot see himself or herself performing when duplicating it |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Imitative behavior that is controlled by its consequences |

|
Term
|
Definition
| Operant behavior that creates or develops stimuli to regulate future behavior |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Operant behavior maintained (i.e., governed) or developed under the control of contingency-specifying stimuli (such as rules) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Contingency-specifying stimuli we create for ourselves |
|
|
Term
| Spontaneous imitation (a.k.a. innate imitation) |
