Q

BURRHUS FREDERIC SKINNER

Study These Flashcards
A

Radical behaviorism

private events included

25
DARWINIAN SELECTIONISM & PRAGMATISM
selection by consequence | natural selection
26
RESPONDENT BEHAVIOR
elicited/brought out by stimuli that immediately preceded them example- gag reflex when choke
27
REFLEX
something you are born with- like knee popping when knee is hit with mallet its unlearned born in you
28
HABITUATION
where you have something repeatedly done that makes you less responsive to it... like loud noises that startle you
29
PHYLOGENY/phylogenic
genetic behavior
30
OPERANT BEHAVIOR
``` S-R-S emit/evoke history of consequences voluntary action learned behavior ```
31
ADAPTATION
reduction in responding after repeatedly being exposed- like hearing same joke over and over... or ripped my pants
32
ONTOGENY/ontogenic
learning from our environment | operant behavior is ontogenic
33
CONTIGUITY
when two stimuli occur close together in time resulting in an association like superstitious behavior
34
RESPONDENT-OPERANT INTERACTIONS
an experience can often include both respondent and operant conditioning occurring at the same time example- microwaving food example
35
WHAT IS NOT BEHAVIOR
``` the dead mans test being hungry being anxious getting wet receiving money being blown over if a dead man can do it its not behavior think weekend at bernies ```
36
3 PRINCIPLES OF BEHAVIOR
PER punishment extinction reinforcement
37
DESCRIPTION
OBSERVATION- NOT CASUAL EXPLANATIONS
38
PREDICTION
correlation, covariation | two events may happen at same time but doesn't mean they cause each other
39
CONTROL
causation- manipulation of one event results in another event
40
HYPOTHETICAL CONSTRUCTS,
AKA imaginary constructs presumed unobserved entities free will information on processing etc..
41
EXPLANATORY FICTIONS,
"knows" wants figures out fictitious variables
42
CIRCULAR | REASONING
he cried because he felt sad | cause and effect that are both inferred from the same information
43
Conceptual analysis of behavior
behaviorism | examines philosophical, theoretical, historical, and methodological issues
44
Behavior service delivery
``` people who implement the plan BCBA's RBTS BCaBAs BCBAD ```
45
EAB
clinical research process, in a lab
46
RESPONDENT CONDITIONING
example- pavlov with the bell and meat powder to make dog salivate classical conditioning
47
OPERANT CONTINGENCY
occasion for a response, the response, and the outcome of the response when a reinforcer or punisher is said to be contingent on a behavior, the behavior must be emitted for the consequence to occur
48
7 dimensions of ABA AKA
Behavior modification
49
who defined the 7 dimensions of ABA
Baer, Wolf and risley in 1968 hint: grizzly bear wolf
50
Generality AKA
generalization
51
Mentalism AKAs
``` AKA spiritaul psychic subjective feelings attitudes processing ```
52
hypothetical Constructs
AKA imaginary constructs presumed, and unobservable, entities example- free will, mechanisms for memory
53
explanatory fictions
knows wants figures out
54
respondent behavior AKAS
reflex reflexive relations unconditioned stimulus- unconditioned response
55
respondent conditioning
classical conditioning- ring a bell?
56
OPERANT BEHAVIOR AKA
S-R-S stimulus response stimulus 3 term contingency
57
operant contingency AKA
behavioral contingency , 3 term contingency ABC You can stay up later if you do your chores
