Term
Adjunctive Behaviors
Definition
schedule-induced behavior
Term
Alternative Schedule (alt)
Definition
reinforces when either ratio OR interval schedule is met
Term
Chained Schedule of Reinforcement (chain)
Definition
two or more schedules must be met in sequence to get reinforcement
Term
Compound Schedule of Reinforcement
Definition
schedule using two or more reinforcement schedule types
Term
Concurrent Schedule (conc)
Definition
two or more reinforcement contingencies operate independently and simultaneously for two or more behaviors
Term
Conjunctive Schedule (conj)
Definition
ratio and interval schedule requirements are met to receive reinforcement
Term
Continuous Reinforcement (CRF)
Definition
reinforcement for each occurrence of target behavior
Term
Differential Reinforcement of Diminishing Rates (DRD)
Definition
reinforcement for meeting a gradually decreasing criterion
Term
Differential Reinforcement of High Rates (DRH)
Definition
reinforcement for meeting a gradually increasing criterion
Term
Differential Reinforcement of Low Rates (DRL)
Definition
reinforcement for meeting a minimum interresponse time
Term
Fixed Interval (FI)
Definition
reinforcement for first response after a fixed duration of time
Term
Fixed Ratio (FR)
Definition
reinforcement after a fixed number of responses
Term
Intermittent Schedule of Reinforcement (INT)
Definition
some, but not all responses produce reinforcement
Term
Limited Hold
Definition
reinforcement is only available during a finite time after an interval elapses
Term
Matching Law
Definition
rate of responding is proportional to rate of reinforcement
Term
Mixed Schedule (mix)
Definition
two or more reinforcement schedules are alternated randomly, no sD for each schedule
Term
Multiple Schedule (mult)
Definition
two or more reinforcement schedules are alternated randomly, sD is correlated with each schedule
Term
Postreinforcement Pause
Definition
absence of responding following reinforcement
Term
Progressive Schedule of Reinforcement
Definition
reinforcement schedule thinning regardless of performance
Term
Ratio Strain
Definition
undesired responding due to abrupt changes to reinforcement schedule requirements
Term
Schedule of Reinforcement
Definition
description of reinforcement contingencies
Term
Schedule Thinning
Definition
gradually increasing response ratio or interval before reinforcing
Term
Tandem Schedule (tand)
Definition
two or more schedules must be met in sequence to get reinforcement, no sD for each part of chain
Term
Variable Interval (VI)
Definition
reinforcement for first response following a variable duration of time
Term
Variable Ratio (VR)
Definition
reinforcement for first response following a variable number of responses
