Unit 4 Flashcards
(61 cards)
Escape
-removal of an already present aversive stimuli
-When you ESCAPE successfully this is a
-When we engage in a Bx to remove an ALREADY present Aversive stimulus
Ex. Floor shocked and rat presses lever that stops it
Ex Joey is beating u up and you give him your lunch money’s I he will stop beating you up
Function
Purpose, effect
Stimulus change
Environment
All stimuli that can effect Bx
Behavior chain
Complex Bx consists of Atwood or more responses that occur in a specific order
-sequence of responses each sequence of responses with a particular stimuli
- individual parts are called links
Ex. Brushing teeth, washing hands, changing s babies dieper
Function-altering effect of reinforcement
makes it more likely that antecedent stimuli will evoke behavior previously reinforced in their presence
Function Altering
permeant effects or relations
- How a stimulus can be changed as a result of learning
ex. Bell and meat powder
Refle CMO is a type of conditioned MO
learning occurs because of value
-something that acquires value because it signals an improving or worsening set of conditions A PROMISE OR A THREAT
Avoidance
when engaged in behavior to remove a warning stimulus that an aversive stimulus is about to be present!
ex. light comes on that a shock will be presented in 30 seconds so the rat then presses the lever to remove the light and delay the shock, Joey comes in the room and you immediately hand over your money before he begins to beat you up
An unconditioned EO for Negative Reinforcement
learned
Evokes escape behavior which has to be learned
Chained
at least two schedules, but 1 reinforcer at the end
manipulate reinforcer
would increase the work of the student. working for stickers, harder work increase what they are working for.
ex. reinforcer increases by quantitate manipulation
EO
Establishing Operation: has 2 parts
Antecedent that makes you want it
Consequence evokes the behavior
AO
Abolishing Operation: Decreases value of a reinforcer that decreases any behaviors that have been reinforced in the past.
ex. satiated, so might see the cookie but not want it because they are not valuable, there is a low value because you are full or sick
Opposite of Response Generalization
Differentiation: narrowing responses
Negative reinforcement
involves escape or avoidance of some aversive stimuli
Extinction
withholding of reinforcement
What is the difference between Negative reinforcement and extinction?
NR: involves escape or avoidance of aversive stimulus
Extinction withholding of reinforcement
punishment can be positive
addition of a stimulus to environment
Negative
removal of a stimulus
ex. if you ask me to turn down the TV and I do. The removal of loud volume is negative and if your behavior is increased over a period of time then it means it’s being reinforced.
Unconditioned
unlearned
conditioned
learned
What is the distinction between Reinforcer and Punisher?
Affects the behavior
- consequence of either
- adding/pos or taking away/Neg from the environment
Response Generalization ????
when a response that has not been specifically reinforced increases infrequency a as result of a similar response (maybe similar in topography or class or other properties) contacting reinforcement ex. teach you to say ball when you see ball then once learned you said "beach ball or big ball"
Time-out from Positive Reinforcement
A type of Negative punishment procedures in which response starts a time; while the time is running, the organism cannot access reinforcement
