25
Conditioned Reflex
response occurs in the presence of CS
26
Functional Relation
one event dependent upon another
27
Motivating Operation MO
alters the effectiveness of a stimulus and changes the frequency of behavior
28
Momentary Time Sample
record the presence of absence of a response at an exact moment in time
29
Topographical Response Class
responses look the same but have a different effect
30
Operant Conditioning
consequence immediately follows response and changes the R-S relation.
31
Behaviorism
scientific approach to the study of behavior
32
Four Term Contingency
MO-A-B-C
33
Determinism
lawful
34
Philosophical Assumptions of Behavior Analysis
Determinism, Empiricism, Experimentation, Replication, Parsimony, Philosophical Doubt
35
Imitation
copy modeled response
36
Rate
ratio=response/time
37
Stimulus Class
a group of stimuli that share common elements
38
Ordinate
vertical or Y-axis
39
Temporal Extent
behavior occupies time
40
Environment
all stimuli that can affect behavior
41
Inter-observer Agreement IOA
2 observers independently observe, record, and agree on the occurrence of a response
42
Response Class
a group of similar behaviors (topographical or functions)
43
Philosophical Doubt
question everything
44
Ratio Strain
schedule of reinforcement is too lean to maintain behavior.
45
Preference Assessment
identify and rank stimuli as effective reinforcers
46
Behaivor
anything a person does that can be observed and measured
47
Variable Ratio VR
reinforcer delivered for a varying # of responses
48
Punishment
consequence immediately follows a response, weakens R-S relation
49
Inter-Response Time IRT
time between 2 consecutive responses
50
Reliabilty
repeated measures yield same values
51
Variable Interval VI
reinforcer delivered for first response after a varying amount of time
52
Fixed Interval FI
reinforcer delivered for the first correct response after a passage of time
53
Analytic
evaluate functional relationships
54
Respondent Behavior
reflex; innate; involuntary; species specific
55
Reinforcement
consequence immediately follows a response, strengthens R-S relation
56
Shaping
series of approximations toward a terminal behavior
57
B.F. Skinner
founder of the science of behavior
58
Escape
response terminates aversive stimulus
59
Temporal Locus
behavior occurs at a point in time
60
Chaining
teach steps of complex behavior
61
Experimental Analysis of Behavior EAB
scientific examination of the principles of behavior
62
Limited Hold
window of opportunity for reinforcement after FI or VI
63
Stimulus Control
antecedent stimulus alters dimensions of behavior
64
Discriminative Stimulus
stimulus signals reinforcer is available
65
Establishing Operation
temporarily increases the value of a stimulus
66
Empericism
events are objectively observed, described and measured
67
Technological
procedures are precisely defined
68
Permanent Product
the physical outcome of behavior
69
Abolishing Operation
temporarily decreases the value of a stimulus
70
Operant Behavior
learned through consequences
71
Generalization
response occurs in the presence of similar stimulus
72
Duration
measure total time response occurs
73
Interval Recording
record if response occurs during a period of time
74
Deprivation
withholding stimulus temporarily increases reinforcer effectiveness lawful
75
Conditioned Stimulus
NS paired with US; elicits response
76
Parsimony
rule out simple, logical explanations first
77
Latency
time from onset of stimulus to initiating response
78
Respondent Conditioning
pair NS with US
79
Satiation
value of reinforcer decreases due to repeated presentation
80
Primary Reinforcers
stimuli needed to survive
81
Positive Punishment
stimulus added after a response, rate of behavior decreases
82
Three Term Contingency
s-r-s; a-b-c
83
Backward Chaining
teach last step of a task analysis
84
Unconditioned Stimulus
stimulus elicits response without prior learning
85

horizontal or x-axis
86
Stimulus (Stimuli)
environmental event that can effect behavior
87
Applied Behavior Analysis
science used to improve socially significant behavior
88
Antecedent
stimulus change that precedes behavior
89
