Concept Formation .......Answer.........Requires Stimulus control that
has attained generalization within a class of stimuli and
discrimination between classes of stimuli.
stimulus generalization .......Answer.........learning that occurs when
stimuli that are similar but not identical to the conditioned
stimulus produce the conditioned response.
Satiation .......Answer.........A decrease in the frequency of
operant behavior presumed to be the result of continued contact
with or consumption of a reinforcer that has followed the
behavior.
,age 2 of 23
deprivation .......Answer.........is the absence or reduction of a
reinforcer for a period of time. It is an establishing operation
that increases the effectiveness of the reinforcer and the rate of
behavior that produced that reinforcer in the past.
3 Types of CMOs .......Answer.........surrogate (CMO-S)
reflexive (CMO-R)
transitive (CMO-T)
Surrogate CMO (CMO-S) .......Answer.........A stimulus that
acquires its MO effectiveness by being paired with another MO
and has the same value-altering and behavior-altering effects
as the MO with which it was paired.
CMO-S .......Answer.........EXAMPLE: Mom usually puts the baby to
sleep. One day, dad tried to put the baby to sleep, but the
, age 3 of 23
baby didn't fall asleep. Mom usually wears a certain fuzzy
house robe that the baby has paired with sleep. Dad wears
mom's house robe and the pairing of the robe with dad helps
the baby fall asleep.
Reflexive CMO (CMO-R) .......Answer.........a condition or an
object that acquires its effectiveness as an MO by preceding a
situation that either is worsening or improving. This signals to us
that an aversive event may be occurring soon.
Transitive CMO (CMO-T) .......Answer.........An environmental
variable that establishes (or abolishes) the reinforcing
effectiveness of another stimulus and thereby evokes (or abates)
the behavior that has been reinforced by that other stimulus.
