|
Term
|
Definition
| “A stimulus or event that follows a response.” |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| “An environmental change which follows a response which increases or maintains the future frequency of that behavior.” |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| “A stimulus that when presented following a response increases or maintains the future frequency of that response.” |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A stimulus that when removed following a response increases or maintains the future frequency of that response. |
|
|
Term
| Unconditioned reinforcer (SR) |
|
Definition
| A stimulus that functions as a reinforcer without any prior learning; that is, due to phylogenic provenance. |
|
|
Term
| Conditioned reinforcer (Sr) |
|
Definition
| A stimulus that functions as a reinforcer through pairing with other reinforcers; that is, due to ontogenic provenance. |
|
|
Term
| Generalized conditioned reinforcer |
|
Definition
| “A conditioned reinforcer that has been paired with a variety of other reinforcers and which is effective for a wide range of behaviors.” |
|
|
Term
| Unconditioned reinforcer conditioner (UC/Sr) |
|
Definition
| A stimulus that when paired with another stimulus, establishes that stimulus as a conditioned reinforcer due to phylogenic provenance. |
|
|
Term
| Conditioned reinforcer conditioner (CC/Sr) |
|
Definition
| A stimulus that when paired with another stimulus, establishes that stimulus as a conditioned reinforcer due to ontogenic provenance. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| An increase in the rate of a response class as a result of the contingent presentation or removal of a stimulus on a particular response. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| „High-probability‟ behavior is made contingent on engaging in a „Less preferred‟ behavior, the future frequency of the „Less preferred‟ behavior will increase.” |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| “A behavior that terminates an aversive stimulus; thus it is maintained by negative reinforcement.” |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A behavior that terminates a warning stimulus. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A decrease in the rate of a response class as a result of withholding a reinforcer. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A momentary increase in the frequency, duration, and intensity of a response class as a result of extinction. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The sudden and temporary reappearance of a response following extinction. |
|
|
Term
| Differential reinforcement |
|
Definition
| Consist of two operations: Reinforcement and extinction. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| When differential reinforcement consist of reinforcing some responses and not reinforcing other responses. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| “The differential reinforcement of successive approximations to a target behavior.” |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A decrease in the rate of a response class as a result of the contingent presentation or removal of a stimulus on a particular response. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| An environmental change which follows a response which decreases the future frequency of that behavior. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| “A stimulus that when presented following a response decreases the future frequency of that behavior.” |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A stimulus that when removed following a response decreases the future frequency of that behavior. |
|
|
Term
| Unconditioned punisher (SP) |
|
Definition
| A stimulus that functions as a punisher without any prior learning; that is, due to phylogenic provenance. |
|
|
Term
| Conditioned punisher (Sp) |
|
Definition
| A stimulus that functions as a punisher through pairing with other punishers; that is, due to ontogenic provenance. |
|
|
Term
| Unconditioned punisher conditioner (UC/Sp) |
|
Definition
| A stimulus that when paired with another stimulus, establishes that stimulus as a conditioned punisher due to phylogenic provenance. |
|
|
Term
| Conditioned punisher conditioner (CC/Sp) |
|
Definition
| A stimulus that when paired with another stimulus, establishes that stimulus as a conditioned punisher due to ontogenic provenance. |
|
|
Term
| Time-out from positive reinforcement |
|
Definition
| “A type of negative punishment procedure in which a response starts a timer; while the timer is running, the organism cannot access reinforcers.” |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| An increase in the rate of a response class as a result of withholding a punisher. |
