51 terms
Terms | Definitions |
|---|---|
 escape | response terminates on unconditioned aversive stimulus |
| avoidance | response terminates a warning condition that has become a conditioned aversive stimulusdue to its relation to the unconditioned aversive stimulus |
| repeatability and temporal locus = | IRT |
| fundamental property | fundamental quality of a phenomenon |
| response | specific instance of bx |
| celeration | changes in reate over time |
| acceleration | increase |
| deceleration | decrease |
| consequence | stimulus that follows a response |
| precursor | response the behaver may do before the response of interest |
| antecedent | stimulus that occurs before response bx is the |
| Dependent variable | behavior |
| Independent Variable | environment |
| latency | dimensional quantity; related to temperal locus; amount of time from antecedent to response; units of time |
| functional response class | group of 2 or more responses topographically different, same effect on environment |
| topographic response class | responses look or sound the same |
| temporal locus | single response that occurs at a point if time; fundamental property; qualitative |
| fundamental = | qualitative |
| dimensional = | quantitative |
| duration | dimensional quantity; amount of time from begin to end of a response cycle; units of time |
| topography | physical nature of bx |
| temporal extent | a response occupies time; fundamental property |
| rate | cycles (responses) per unit unit of time |
| countability | total # of response |
| environment | total constellation of stimuli that can affect bx; IV |
| learning | relatively permanent change in bx as a result of experience - verbal ro nonverbal |
| stimulus | change in environment that can affect bx; usually defined by effect on bx |
| functional relation | exists when changes in stimulus class (antecedent or consequence) consistently alter a dimension (measure) of a response class |
| basic principle of bx | basic functional relation between bx and its controlling variables; determined by controlled experiments; 3 principles of bx |
| 3 principles of bx | Principles of Reinforcement; Principles of Operant Extinction; Principles of Stimulant Class |
| How do you know if there is a functional relation? What effect must there be? | Manipulate environmental events to see if their is an efect on bx; must consistently and reliably result in increase in rate of functional response class |
| Respondent Conditioning | Develop a new functional relation (leaned) between a previous neutral stimulus and a type of response that has previously been elicited by a US |
| Aversive Stimulus | one whose presentation evokes the bx that removes it |
| operant extinction | responses without reinfrocement following it |
| Operant Stimulus Control | Repeated reinforcement in the presence of a particular stimulus condition but extinction in the absence of that stimulus condition |
| SD | in the presence of stimulus condition the momentary frequency of that type of response increases |
| Positive Reinforcers | strengthen by being immediately presented following responses |
| Negative Reinforcers | strengthen by being immediately removed following responses |
| fixed interval | set schedule of reinfrocement; reinforcement after a fixed number of responses |
| verbal bx | bx that achieves its effect on the world through mediation of someone else's bx |
| EO | increases effectiveness of something as reinforcement and increases current frequency of bx that has been reinforced |
| Reinforcer Establishing Effect | increased the current reinforcing effectiveness of some stimulus, object, or event |
| Evocative effect | increases the current frequency of all bx that has been reinforced by that stimulus, object or event |
| Reinforcer Abolishing Effect | decreased the current reinforcing effectiveness of some stimulus, object or event |
| Abative Effect | decreases the current frequency of all bx that has been reinforced by that stimulus, object or event |
| What is the reinforcer establishing effect of pain? | an increase in pain increases the current reinforcing effectiveness of pain reduction |
| What is the evocative effect of pain? | an increase in pain increases the current frequency of all types of bx that have been reinforced by pain reductions |
| Does pain function as a reinforcer? | Rarely, general pain seldom functions as a reinforcer - only pain reducation or removal can reinforce |
| What is the Reinforcer abolishing effect of pain? | a decrease in pain decreases the current reinforcing effectivness of pain reduction |
| What is the abative effect of pain? | a decrease in pain decreases the current frequency of all types of bx that have been reinforced with pain reduction |
| Both MOs and Sds are: | learned, operant, antecedent, evocative/abative relations |
