ACCURATE ANSWERS PREMIUM REVIEW
◉ Contingency
Answer: Refers to dependent and/or temporal relations between
operant behavior an it's controlling variables.
◉ Satiation
Answer: Repeated presentation of a reinforcer weakens its
effectiveness and for this reason the rate of responses declines.
◉ Positive Reinforcement
Answer: A type of reinforcement in which the presentation of the
stimulus is contingent upon the response, resulting in an increase in
the future probability of that response
◉ Negative Reinforcement
Answer: A type of reinforcement in which removal of a stimulus is
contingent on a response, resulting in an increase in the future
probability of that response.
◉ Positive Punishment
,Answer: A type of punishment in which stimulus presentation is
contingent on a response, resulting in the decrease of the future
probability of that response
◉ Negative Punishment
Answer: A type of punishment in which stimulus removal is
contingent on a response, resulting in the decrease of the future
probability of that response.
◉ Establishing Operations (EO)
Answer: Increases motivation for something and increases
likelihood you will try to access that reinforcer
◉ Abolishing Operations (AO)
Answer: Decreases motivation for something and decreases
likelihood you will try to access that reinforcer
◉ Discriminative Stimulus (SD)
Answer: A stimulus in the presence of which a particular response
will be reinforced and in the absence of which that response will not
be reinf
◉ Stimulus Control (Discriminative Control)
, Answer: The tendency for the target behavior to occur in the
presence of the SD (b/c it was reinforced in the past)
◉ Discrimination Training
Answer: Teach the child to respond to/tell the difference between
two (or more) SDs.
◉ Discrete Trial Training (DTT)
Answer: A specific method of teaching in which a task is isolated and
taught across multiple trials. A specific opportunity (antecedent) is
presented and a specific response is expected. A consequence
follows the response.
◉ Fluency-Based Training
Answer: Taking an existing skill and increasing accuracy and speed
of skill performance in order to develop competence
◉ Errorless Learning
Answer: Involves early and immediate prompting of the target
response so that the learner's response is sure to be correct.
◉ Most-to-Least Prompting
Answer: Fading from one type of prompt to another less intrusive
prompt. Most assistance to least assistance.
