conditioned punisher - -A previously neutral stimulus change that functions as a
punisher because of prior pairing with one or more other punishers.
unconditioned punisher - -A stimulus that, usually, is punishing without any prior
learning.
conditioned reinforcer - -a stimulus that has acquired reinforcing properties
through prior learning
Unconditioned Reinforcer - -A stimulus that, usually, is reinforcing without any
prior learning.
Side effects of punishment - -May lead to an increase in other undesirable
behavior.
Can lead to problems such as escape & avoidance, emotional outbursts, and behavioral
contrast.
Reinforcer - -any event that strengthens the behavior it follows
Punisher - -A stimulus change that decreases the future frequency of behavior
that immediately precedes it.
Hernstein's Matching Law - -suggests that when different schedules of
reinforcement are available at the same time for different behaviors, individuals will
, distribute their behavior according to the relative rates of reinforcement available for
each option.
antecedent, behavior, consequence - -The three-term contingency is made of
these three terms:
antecedent - -is the environmental conditions or stimulus changes that exist or
occur prior to the behavior of interest.
behavior - -An organism's interaction with the environment.
consequence - -is anything immediately following a behavior in which we are
interested. Makes the behavior more or less likely to happen in the future.
Discriminative Stimulus (SD) - -is the antecedent stimulus that has stimulus
control over behavior because the behavior was reliably reinforced in the presence of
that stimulus in the past. It signals the availability of a particular reinforcer for a
particular behavior.
Motivating Operation (MO) - -influences the effectiveness of a reinforcer or
punisher while also influencing the frequency of the specific behavior.
Premack Principle - -Some professionals will also refer to this technique as
"First/Then", "If/Then", or "High Probability/Low Probability."
Automatic Reinforcement - -reinforcement that occurs independent of the social
mediation of others.
