3 levels of scientific understanding (DPC) - ANS-description, prediction, control 3 Types of CMOs - ANS-surrogate (CMO-S) reflexive (CMO-R) transitive (CMO-T) 4 Methods for collecting IOA - ANS-total count IOA, mean count-per-interval IOA, exact count-per-interval IOA, trial-by-trial IOA. abative effect - ANS-A decrease in the current frequency of behavior that has been reinforced by the stimulus that is increased in reinforcing effectiveness by the same motivating operation. Example: food ingestion abates (decreases the current frequency of) behavior that has been reinforced by food. abolishing operation (AO) Abolishing Operation (AO) - ANS-A motivating operation that decreases the reinforcing effectiveness of a stimulus, object, or event. For example, the reinforcing effectiveness of food is abolished as a result of food ingestion. antecedent - ANS-is the environmental conditions or stimulus changes that exist or occur prior to the behavior of interest. antecedent, behavior, consequence - ANS-The three-term contingency is made of these three terms: arbitrary stimulus class - ANS-contains stimuli that evoke the same response but do not share a common physical feature Automatic Reinforcement - ANS-reinforcement that occurs independent of the social mediation of others. when a person's behavior creates a favorable outcome without the involvement of another person. behavior - ANS-An organism's interaction with the environment. CMO-R - ANS-Example: The punishing coworker. In the presence of this person you "can't seem to do anything right" and are constantly punished. She is always finding fault with you. Because of this, you want to spend less time with this person and you avoid her. Soon the office associated with her takes on these aversive qualities and you avoid going anywhere near where this person might be. Even hearing their voice down the hallway may signal you to take an early lunch and avoid running into them (and therefore avoid possible punishment). CMO-S - ANS-EXAMPLE: Mom usually puts the baby to sleep. One day, dad tried to put the baby to sleep, but the 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. CMO-T - ANS-Example: Someone puts a lock on the fridge. This establishes the reinforcing value of a key (key becomes the ____________) when access to food is valuable as a source of reinforcement. Concept Formation - ANS-Requires Stimulus control that has attained generalization within a class of stimuli and discrimination between cl
