Definition
| Antecedent variable that decreases the effectiveness of a reinforcer or punisher |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Anything an organism does; any action of an organism that can be brought under respondent or operant control |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Teaching procedure to train a behavior chain involving a sequence of discrete responses, each associated with a particular stimulus condition |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Process by which operant behavior occurs only in the presence of the original SD |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Antecedent stimulus that evokes the occurrence of an operant behavior because in its presence a specific response or set of responses is associated with more frequent reinforcement than in the absence of the SD |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Verbal operant that is controlled by a verbal discriminative stimulus that has point-to-point correspondence and formal similarity with the response and is reinforced by a generalized conditioned reinforcer |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Antecedent variable that increases the effectiveness of a reinforcer or punisher |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Termination of a response-reinforcer relation through the discontinuation of reinforcement for a previously reinforced behavior |
|
|
Term
| Functional Response Class |
|
Definition
| Group of responses that produce the same effect on the environment |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Verbal operant that is controlled by a verbal discriminative stimulus; does not have point-to-point correspondence and is reinforced by a generalized conditioned reinforcer |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Process by which operant behavior occurs in the presence of novel antecedent stimuli that are physically similar to the original SD |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Presentation of a stimulus contingent on a behavior that results in a decrease in the frequency or future probability of that behavior |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Presentation of a stimulus contingent on a behavior that results in an increase in the frequency or future probability of that behavior |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Removal of a stimulus contingent on a behavior that results in a decrease in the frequency or future probability of that behavior |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Removal of a stimulus contingent on a behavior that results in an increase in the frequency or future probability of that behavior |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Verbal operant that is controlled by a motivating operation and is reinforced by the delivery of the specified stimulus |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Environmental variable that alters (increases or decreases) the reinforcing or punishing effectiveness of a stimulus and alters (increases or decreases) the frequency of behavior that has been previously reinforced or punished by that stimulus |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Differential reinforcement of successive approximations to a terminal behavior |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Any event, external or internal to the organism that can affect behavior |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A group of stimuli that share common elements along formal, temporal, or functional dimensions |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Situation in which the frequency, latency, or duration of a behavior is altered by the presence or absence of an antecedent stimulus |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Verbal operant that is controlled by a nonverbal discriminative stimulus and is reinforced by a generalized conditioned reinforcer |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Both are antecedent stimuli, but SDs are correlated with reinforcer availability whereas MOs actually change reinforcer value, but not reinforcer availability |
