|
Definition
- Focusing on strategies that involve the manipulation of antecedent stimuli, to influence behaviour
o Rules, goals, modeling, physical guidance, motivation |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| do not identify all 3 aspects of a contingency of reinforcement; but can still control our behaviour |
|
|
Term
| contingency-shaped behaviour |
|
Definition
| - Behaviour that has been strengthened (or weakened) because of its immediate consequences in a particular setting |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
- Behaviour that is controlled by the statement of a rule
- Often involves delayed consequences and frequently leads to immediate behaviour change |
|
|
Term
| when are rules especially helpful? |
|
Definition
- When rapid behaviour change is desirable
- When consequences are delayed
- When natural reinforcers are highly intermittent
- When behaviour will lead to immediate and severe punishment
- When trial and error could be costly |
|
|
Term
| factors that influence the effectiveness of a rule |
|
Definition
- Specific vs vague description of behaviour
- Specific vs vague description of circumstances in which the behaviour should occur
- Refer to probable vs improbable consequences
- Refer to sizeable consequence vs consequences that are small but add up
- Include a deadline |

Term
|
Definition
| Describe a level of performance toward which an individual or a group should work |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
- S – specific
o Be very clear you want to achieve
o Consider breaking the goal down into smaller steps
- M – measurable
o How will you know when you achieved your goal?
o What will be different? What will you have started?
o What will you have stopped doing or be doing less of?
- A – achievable/attainable
o Ensure your goals are not too high
o Consider stting smaller goals on your way to the big one
- R – relevant/realistic and resourced
o Is this achievable with the resources you have?
o Are there any resources you need before you can, or to help you, achieve your goal?
- T – time-bound
o Set a reasonable time limit to achieve your goal
o Consider different time limits for smaller sub steps |

Term
| behavioural sleep therapy |
|
Definition
| - Use of rule-governed therapy to help promote healthy sleep habits and address sleep problems |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| - A procedure whereby a sample of a given behaviour is presented to an individual to induce that individual to engage in a similar behaviour |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| an individual, after learning to imitate a number of behaviours, learns to imitate a new response on the response first trial without reinforcement |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| - The application of physical contact to induce an individual to go through the motions of the desired behaviour |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| - Influencing a behaviour by using situations and occasions that already exert control over the behaviour |
|
|
Term
| rearranging existing surroundings |
|
Definition
| moving an activity to a new location; relocating people; changing the time of the activity |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
o An inner drive that causes people to act in certain ways
o Internal cause of behaviour
o Does not really fit with behavioural perspective |
|
|
Term
| motivating establishing operations (MEOs) |
|
Definition
| - Temporarily increase the effectiveness of a consequence as a reinforcer or as a punisher (And thereby increases or decreases the likelihood of an associated behaviour) |
|
|
Term
| motivating abolishing operations (MAOs) |
|
Definition
| - Temporarily decrease the effectiveness of consequence as a reinforcer or as a punisher (and thereby decreases of increases the likelihood of an associated behaviour) |
|
|
Term
| unconditioned motivating operations (UMOs) |
|
Definition
- Value-altering effect is innate
- Behaviour-altering effect is learned |
|
|
Term
| conditioned motivating operations (CMOs) |
|
Definition
| - Both the value-altering effect and the behaviour altering effect are learned |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| a cue that tells you what to do get what you already want |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| a cue that changes what you want (makes you want something), and tells you what to do to get what you now want |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| a cue that tells you that emitting a particular behaviour will not lead to something that you want (ie. Will not be reinforced) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| are related to differential availability of an effective form of reinforcement given a particular type of behaviour |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| are related to the differential reinforcing effectiveness of environmental events |
