Term
|
Definition
| The value of a reinforcer depends on competing reinforcers that are available for the same behavior and for competing reinforcers |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The process by which a previously reinforced behavior is weakened by withholding reinforcement |
|
|
Term
| Extinction of behavior maintained through positive reinforcement |
|
Definition
The reinforcer is withheld
(not presented) |
|
|
Term
| Extinction of behavior maintained through negative reinforcement |
|
Definition
| The aversive antecedent stimulus is NOT withdrawn (not terminated or removed) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Masking the sensory consequences of the behavior (padding the table for head banging) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The procedure of non-reinforcement of a previously reinforced behavior |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The process in which, when an operant behavior has ceased following extinction, the behavior may reoccur at a later time n the same circumstances in which it was previously reinforced |
|
|
Term
| Differential Reinforcement |
|
Definition
| Consists of two operations: reinforcement and extinction (not reinforcing) |
|
|
Term
| Differential Reinforcement |
|
Definition
| Reinforce some responses and not reinforcing other responses. Leads to differentiation |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| If differential reinforcement consists of reinforcing a response when certain stimuli are present and not reinforcing the same response when those stimuli are not present; differential reinforcement leads to differentiation – R-S contingency (different responses) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
S-R-S contingency that leads to
Discrimination
(different simuli) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| reinforcement is delivered when a specified amount of time has elapsed in which the specified behavior does NOT occur |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| every time criteria is met – bigger reinforcer |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| only at the end of the interval if target bx is not occurring – reinforcement occurs. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| reinforcement delivered whenever a response occurs that may compete with the target bx |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| schedule of reinforcement where reinforcement is delivered when a response occurs that is physically incompatible (cannot occur concurrently) with the target bx |
