Discrimination
Occurs when a limited spectrum of stimuli occasion a response
Discrimination
Narrow stimulus control
Generalization
Occurs when a large spectrum of stimuli occasion certain responses
Generalization
A critical element as to why the human species has survived and thrived
Stimulus generalization
Responding to antecedent stimuli sharing certain aspects of the original SD; A broadening of the spectrum of stimuli that occasion certain responses
stimulus generalization
The individual responds to something in the same way that resembles the original thing from which they learned
Overgeneralization
emitting a response appropriate to some contexts in an inappropriate context
response generalization
The extent to which an individual exhibits novice responses that are functionally equivalent to the trained target response
response generalization
The effects of intervention are expanded from a targeted response to a similar non-targeted behavior
response generalization
How we shape new behavior
response generalization
If the form of the response changed, classify as:
Naturally existing contingencies
Any contingency of reinforcement (or punishment) that operates independent of your efforts in the generalization setting.
contrived contingency
Any contingency of reinforcement (or punishment) designed and implemented by a behavior analyst or practitioner to achieve the acquisition, maintenance, and/or generalization of a targeted behavior change.
maintenance
Following the removal of an intervention, the extent to which a particular response remains in the individuals repertoire over time
Verbal behavior
Behavior that is reinforced through the mediation of another person's behavior
verbal repertoire
a set of verbal operants emitted by someone
Point-to-point correspondence
When the beginning, middle, and end of the verbal stimulus match the beginning, middle, and end of the response.
formal similarity
when the controlling antecedent stimulus and the response share the same sense mode and physically look exactly the same
Mand
a type of verbal operant in which the speaker asks for what he/she needs or wants
Mand Training
involves bringing verbal responses under the functional control of MOs
Extended Mand
Emitting mands to objects or animals that cannot possibly supply an appropriate response
Superstitious Mand
An extended mand in which reinforcement sometimes occurs incidentally
Magical Mand
an extended mand in which the reinforcement has never occurred in the past; wishing
Intraverbal
a verbal operant in which the speaker differentially responds to other people; answering a question
tact
A type of verbal operant in which the speaker names things and actions that the speaker has direct contact with through any of the sense modes
solistic (tact) extension
Poor use of language/slang
metaphorical extension
the novel stimulus shares some but not all of the relevant features associated with the original stimulus
metonymical (tact) extension
novel stimulus shares none of the relevant features of the original stimulus configuration, but some irrelevant but related feature has acquired stimulus control
Generic Extension
the novel stimulus shares all of the relevant or defining features of the original stimulus
Textual
reading, without any implications that the reader understands what is being read
Transcription
Writing and spelling words spoken to you
Autoclitic
verbal behavior about one's own verbal behavior
Autoclitic
A secondary verbal operant in which some aspect of a speaker's own verbal behavior functions as an SD or an MO for additional speaker verbal behavior.
ratio strain
A result of abrupt increases in ratio requirements when moving from denser to thinner reinforcement schedules.
Common behavioral characteristics are avoidance, aggression, etc.
limited hold
A restriction placed on an interval schedule requiring that the response occur within a specified time limit following the interval to be eligible for reinforcement.
interresponse time (IRT)
the elapsed time between two successive responses
progressive schedule of reinforcement
schedule that systematically thins each successive reinforcement opportunity independent of the individual's behavior
concurrent schedules of reinforcement
Occurs when two or more contingencies of reinforcement operate independently and simultaneously for two or more behaviors; choice making
Matching law
A description of a phenomenon according to which organisms match their responses according to the proportion of pay off during choice situations
Multiple Schedule of Reinforcement
Presents 2 or more basic schedules of reinforcement in an alternating, usually random, sequence for only 1 or more behaviors
Chained Schedule of Reinforcement
Has 2 or more basic schedule requirements that occur successively and has an SD correlated with each independent schedule with one or more behaviors
Alternative schedule of reinforcement
Provides reinforcement when the requirement of either a ratio or interval schedule is met, regardless of which of the component schedule requirement is met first
Conjunctive schedule of reinforcement
Provides reinforcement when the completion of the response requirements for both the ratio and interval schedule have been met
Adjunctive behaviors
Behaviors that are brought about by schedules of reinforcement during times when reinforcement is unlikely to be delivered
