Either a response elicited by a conditioned stimulus or an operant response that has been strengthened by reinforcement.
|
Conditioned Response
|
|
A stimulus that elicits a response because that stimulus has been paired with another stimulus that elicits that or a similar response.
|
Conditioned Stimulus
|
|
Conditioning a response to a stimulus that is incompatible with another response elicited by the same stimulus.
|
Counterconditioning
|
|
A procedure in which a stimulus becomes a conditioned stimulus by being paired with another conditioned stimulus instead of an unconditioned stimulus.
|
Higher-Order Conditioning
|
|
Behaviour that is influenced by its consequences.
|
Operant Behaviours
|
|
The process of strengthening a behaviour by reinforcing it; or weakening a behaviour by punishing it.
|
Operant Conditioning
|
|
Behaviour that is elicited by stimuli and that is or can be learned to be elicited by other stimuli through respondent conditioning.
|
Respondent Behaviours
|
|
Teaching a response to a new stimulus by pairing that stimulus with another stimulus that elicits that response.
|
Respondent Conditioning
|
|
A response elicited by an unconditioned stimulus; an inborn response to a stimulus.
|
Unconditioned Response (UR)
|
|
A stimulus that elicits a response without prior learning.
|
Unconditioned Stimulus (US)
|
|
A measure in the absence of (i.e. prior to or following) a treatment or intervention program.
|
Baseline
|
|
The collection and analysis of information and data in order to identify a specific behaviour for treatment, to identify possible causes of the behaviour, to select appropriate treatment strategies for the behaviour, and to evaluate treatment outcome.
|
Behavioural Assessment
|
|
A specific behaviour to be improved (increased or decreased) in a behaviour modification program.
|
Target Behaviours
|
|
A research design consisting of four phases: baseline (A), intervention (B), reversal to baseline (A), and replication of intervention (B).
|
ABAB Reversal-Replication Design
|
|
A research design in which a baseline and treatment(s) are alternated, typically on successive days or sessions.
|
Alternating-Treatments Design
|
|
A research design in which successive changes in the criterion for application of the treatment occur.
|
Changing-Criterion Design
|
|
A measure of behaviour that is studied as a function of an independent variable.
|
Dependent Variable
|
|
A treatment or intervention introduced to study its influence on a dependent variable.
|
Independent Variable
|
|
A research design in which two or more behaviours are monitored concurrently and, in a staggered fashion, the treatment is introduced sequentially to the behaviour of each of the individuals.
|
Multiple-Baseline-Across-Behaviour Design
|
|
A research design in which a behaviour is monitored in two or more individuals concurrently and, in a staggered fashion, the intervention is introduced sequentially to the behaviour of each of the individuals.
|
Multiple-Baseline-Across-People Design
|
|
A research design in which a behaviour is monitored in two or more situations, and in a staggered fashion, the intervention is introduced sequentially to the behaviour in each of the situations.
|
Multiple-Baseline-Across-Situations Design
|
|
The return of a treated behaviour to its level prior to treatment.
|
Relapse
|
|
A strategy for changing one's own behaviour by using principles of behaviour modification.
|
Self-Management
|
|
Any activity (muscular, glandular, or electrical) of an individual.
|
Behaviour
|
|
The systematic application of learning principles and techniques to assess and improve individuals' covert and overt behaviours.
|
Behaviour Modification
|
|
The totality of all stimuli impinging on an individual.
|
Environment
|
|
Any physical event that can impinge on the sense receptors.
|
Stimulus (pl. Stimuli)
|
