behaviour analysts identify environmental ______
contingnecies
behaviout is thing we can ____ and things we can ____
See; hear
environment is
anything that happens outside that person
behaviour is L___
Lawful
Applied foucus on
important real world problems
behavioural uses baviour change
as the centre measure
what C means the relationship between events
Contingency
Technocological procedures
are described clearly enough to be repeated
conceptually systematic methods are
tied to the basic scientific principles of operant conditioning
effective methods produce
intended behaviour changes
generality procedures
can be applied to other populations, setting and behaviours
a stimulus that follows a behaviour is called a C
Consequence
reinforcement _______ probability of behaviour happening again
Increases
reinforcers are defined on their _______ not _____
function no form
establishing operations (EO’s) make stimuli
more likely to function
E.g unsing food as a stimuli before someone has tea
Aboloshing operations (AO’s)
make stimuli less likely to fumction as a reinforcer
contingent means that
reinforcment needs to folloew the behaviour we want to increase
unconditioned reinforcements are
Innate - dont learn them
E.g food warmth sleep water sexual stimulation
conditioned reinforcements are
things we learn to like
e.g cuddles hugs food we like
schedule of reinforcment
specifies which occurence of behaviour will be reinforced
reinforcment which is dilivered after every response is called
continuous reinforcment
reinforcement dilivered occationally is called
intermittent reinforcment
continous reinforcement should be used
during behaviour acquisition
while behaviour is being learnt
intermittent reinforcment
can maintain a behaviour
once the behaviour is learnt
