Must be given immediately and contingent. SR+
Primary Reinforcers: Unconditioned (food, warmth, sleep, oxygen, thirst, pain, sex) Secondary Reinforcers: Conditioned (social - high 5s) INCREASES BEHAVIOR |
|
A vertical solid line in a graph that indicates when a change in treatment conditions occurred (e.g. separating baseline from intervention)
|
PHASE CHANGE LINE
|
|
|
In behavior analysis the intervention or treatment.
|
INDEPENDENT VARIABLE
|
|
|
When a reinforcer is delivered after the first response after a fixed amount of time has elapsed. This schedule produces a scalloped rate of response (low at first, and then gradually increases.
|
FIXED INTERVAL
SCHEDULE OF REINFORCEMENT |
FI 30 sec - Reinforce
Every 30 seconds, reinforment. |
|
When a reinforcer is delivered after and average number of responses. This schedule produces a steady, very high rate of response with very brief, if any, pauses after reinforcement.
|
VARIABLE RATIO
SCHEDULE OF REINFORCEMENT |
VR2
Out of 8 sessions, reinforce 4x. Better rates of responding. Does not learn to anticipate. |
|

|
REINFORCER MENU
|
A menu may utilize pictures, written descriptions, or the actual items.
|
|
When a reinforcer is delivered when a response occurs for a fixed amount of time. The response is chosen because it is incompatible with another response that is a deceleration target behavior.
|
DRI
Differential reinforcement of incompatible behavior |
Reinforcing incompatible behaviors reinforcing behavior that cannot occur (physically) at the same tie as the target behavior.
Ex. hands in pockets vs flapping. Physically incompatible. |
|
When a reinforcer is delivered after the first response after an average amount of time has elapsed. This schedule produces a steady, medium rate of response with very brief, if any, pauses after reinforcement.
|
VARIABLE INTERVAL
SCHEDULE OF REINFORCEMENT |
VI 30 sec.
In 10 minutes. Reinforce 20x. More effective than Fixed Interval Schedule of Reinforcement |
|
A temporary increase of an undesired behavior, which initially occurs in the face of deliberate removal of reinforcement.
|
EXTINCTION BURST
|
|
|
Gradually increase reinforcement delay, and thin reinforcement schedules, during generalization training, as reinforcers are normally longer and less frequent in natural untrained environments.
|
INTERMITTENT REINFORCEMENT
|
Only sometimes maintain behavior over time.
|
|
A pre-intervention assessment that is used to refine recording procedures, design the intervention, and provide data with which to compare intervention data when evaluating intervention effects.
|
BASELINE
|
|
|
The gradual withdrawal of prompts, such that the SD alone comes to evoke the desired behavior.
|
FADING
|
Promotes generalization. Going from primary to conditioned.
Type of reinforcement |
|
Meaning signaling the removal of the opportunity to earn reinforcement for a period of time, contingent on some behavior. It is used in an attempt to decrease behavior, and when successful, can be classified as a punisher.
|
TIMEOUT
"timeout from reinforcement" |
Students goes from a reinforcing setting to a non reinforcing setting.
In order for time out to be effective TIME-IN must be very motivating. Contraindicative with ESCAPE. (bad effect) |
|
Teaching a sequence of responses by initially training the first response of the chain, then the first and second first, second, third, etc.
|
FORWARD CHAINING
|
Teaching a skill from the first step to the last. - in sequences.
Teaches a complex behavior. Break the behavior into small components. Teach each step separately. |
|
A reinforcer that is obtained by exchanging a token for it. Used in token systems.
|
BACK-UP REINFORCERS
|
Delay.
Back-ups should be part of the reinforcer menu. |
|
Teaching a sequence of responses by initially training the last response of the chain, then the second to the last and the last, third to the last second to the last, and the last. etc.
|
BACKWARD CHAINING
|
Teaching the last step first.
Teaches a complex behavior. Break the behavior into small components. Teach each step separately. |
|
Generalized conditioned reinforcers that when earned, can be exchanged for other reinforcers, or backup reinforcers.
|
TOKENS
|
Tokens are exchanged for back-ups.
INCREASES BEHAVIOR |
|
Gradually changing the form, or topography, of a behavior by reinforcing successive approximations to the correct, final topography.
|
SHAPING
|
INCREASES BEHAVIOR
|
|
A reinforcer that is effective without previous experience. (e.g. food, drinks)
|
PRIMARY REINFORCER
|
Positive reinforcer.
Food, warmth, sleep, oxygen, thirst, pain, sex. |
|
When a reinforcer is delivered when a response does not occur for a fixed amount of time.
|
DRO
Differential reinforcement of other behavior. |
Catch them being good!
Reinforcing other appropriate behavior. |
|
The removal of a stimulus after a behavior to increase that behavior.
|
NEGATIVE REINFORCEMENT
|
Use of aversive stimuli.
Removal of a stimulus, that is often aversive, contingent upon a desired behavior in order to increase the probability of that behavior. Ex. Seat belt |
|
Following an extinction session, a temporary re-appearance of the behavior in the beginning of the next extinction session.
|
SPONTANEOUS RECOVERY
|
|
|
A stimulus that 1) evokes behavior
2) because that behavior has been reinforced in the presence of the stimulus. |
SD - Stimulus control
|
Signal - availability.
Hungry? Food sign = SD Stimulus control speaks to the availability or absence of reinforcement. Different stimuli in the environment indicate different things for the learner. When the stimulus is consistently correlated with a consequence, stimulus control has been achieved. |
|
Occurs when a neutral stimulus is paired with an unconditioned stimulus and that neutral stimulus becomes a conditioned stimulus that can illicit a conditioned response.
|
CLASSICAL CONDITIONING
|
Pavlov (1927)
NS > UCS > UCR (Needs no learning) Bell/light > FOOD > Salivation CS > CR (Learned Response) - Salivate with lights Watson & Raynor's "Little Albert Ex" Rabbit > Loud Noise > Startle -- Generalization - Fear w. soft, furry things. |
|
A behavior to be changed. Acceleration targets are those that are to be increased, deceleration targets are those to be decreased.
|
TARGET BEHAVIOR
|
|
|
When a task is broken up into smaller elements. The elements should be stated in their correct order.
|
TASK ANALYSIS
|
|
|
A stimulus that decreases or suppresses a behavior because that behavior has been punished in the presence of the stimulus.
|
SP (SD)
|
|
|
When a reinforcer is delivered when a response occurs for a fixed amount of time. The response is chosen because it is an alternative response to another response that is a deceleration target behavior.
|
DRA
Differential reinforcement of alternative behavior. |
Reinforcing alternative behaviors. Reinforcing a replacement behavior or a situation.
|
|
When a reinforcer is delivered after a fixed number of responses. This schedule produces a steady, high rate of response with pauses after reinforcement.
|
FIXED RATIO

|
|
(punisher)
A consequence that increases (or decreases) the rate of behavior because it has been paired with another reinforcer, |
CONDITIONED REINFORCER

DEPENDENT VARIABLE
|
Y axis.
|
|
The withholding of a stimulus that normally occurs after a behavior, resulting a decrease in the rate of the behavior. Includes sensory, escape and social.
|
EXTINCTION

DECREASES BEHAVIOR
|
|
An event that occurs after a behavior.
|
CONSEQUENCE

B. Decreasing Behavior- EXTINCTION and/or PUNISHMENT |
|
An extra antecedent stimulus that is used to evoke a behavior, such that it can be reinforced.

Additional stimulus of cue that increases the probability that the target behavior will be exhibited. Hierarchy of Prompts - Dependent to Independent Full Physical, partial physical, modeling, gestural, environmental cue, verbal. |
|
An event that occurs before a behavior.
|
ANTECEDENT
|
A motivational operation is a condition of deprivation which:
- momentarily increases the value of a reinforcer - evokes behavior that has produced that stimulus/reinforcer in the past |
|
A kind of learning in which behavior is modified by changing its consequences.

|
Consequences -
ABC's of Behavior Antecedent- SD discriminative stimulus Behavior - R - Response Consequence - SR + SP Reinforcing or punishing |
