1
Q

positive reinforcement

A

occurs when a response is followed immediately by the presentation of a stimulus and as a result, similar responses occur more frequently in the future.

2
Q

automatic reinforcement

A

behavior produces own reinforcement independent of the mediation of others

3
Q

unconditioned reinforcer

A

stimulus change that functions as reinforcement even though the learner has had no particular learning history

4
Q

conditioned reinforcer

A

previously neutral stimulus change that has acquired the capability to function as a reinforcer through stimulus-stimulus pairing

5
Q

generalized conditioned reinforcer

A

a conditioned reinforcer that as a result of having been paired with many unconditioned and conditioned reinforcers does not depend on an EO

6
Q

concurrent schedule of reinforcement

A

2 or more contingencies of reinforcement operate independently and simultaneously for 2 or more behaviors

7
Q

progressive-ratio schedule of reinforcement

A

the response requirement for reinforcement are increased systematically over time independent of the participants behavior

8
Q

multiple schedule of reinforcement

A

2 or more component schedules of reinforcement for a single response with only one component schedule in effect. an SD signals that presence of each schedule.

9
Q

Premack principle

A

making the opportunity to engage in a BX that occurs at a relatively high free operant rate contingent on the occurrence of a low frequency BX.

10
Q

response deprivation hypothesis

A

a model for predicting whether access to one BX will function as reinforcement for another BX based on the relative baseline rates at which each BX occurs

11
Q

stimulus preference assessment

A

variety of procedures used to determine:
the stimuli that a person prefers
the relative preference value of those stimuli
the conditions under which those preference values change

12
Q

free operant observation

A

contrived- researcher palnts possible reinforcer around area

naturalistic- everyday environment.

13
Q

trial based methods

A

single stimulus- stimulus presented, persons reaction is noted
paired stimuli- (forced choices) records which of 2 choices person chooses
multiple stimuli- person chooses from an array of 3 or more stimuli

14
Q

reinforcer assessment

A

refers to a variety of direct, data based methods use to present 1 or more simuli contingent on a target response and then measuring the future effects on the rate of responding
