Correct 100%
reinforcement - ANSWER anything that increases the future probability of a behavior
punishment - ANSWER anything that decreases the future probability of a behavior
negative reinforcement - ANSWER removal of a stimulus that increases the future
probability of a behavior
positive reinforcement - ANSWER addition of a stimulus that increases the future
probability of a behavior
conditioned reinforcement - ANSWER reinforcing stimulus that is reinforcing as a result
of being paired with an unconditioned reinforcer
unconditioned reinforcement - ANSWER reinforcing stimulus that is naturally reinforcing
schedules of reinforcement - ANSWER system that describes when reinforcement will
be delivered
continuous reinforcement - ANSWER reinforcement is given every time a target
behavior occurs
intermittent reinforcement - ANSWER reinforcement is not given every time a target
behavior occurs but is sometimes given
fixed-ratio schedule of reinforcement - ANSWER reinforcement is given after a set
number of occurrences of the target behavior
variable-ratio schedule of reinforcement - ANSWER reinforcement is given after a
varying amount of occurences of the target behavior
fixed-interval schedule of reinforcement - ANSWER reinforcement is given after a set
amount of time has passed
variable-interval schedule of reinforcement - ANSWER reinforcement is given after a
varying amount of time has passed
motivating operation - ANSWER something that increases the value or potency of a
reinforcer
positive punishment - ANSWER addition of a stimulus that decreases the future
probability of a behavior
, negative punishment - ANSWER removal of a stimulus that decreases the future
probability of a behavior
duration - ANSWER the time during which something lasts or continues
discontinuous measurement - ANSWER records an estimate of the frequency of
behavior across several intervals of time
continuous measurement - ANSWER records every instance of a behavior over a
certain period
whole interval recording - ANSWER recording whether a behavior occurs for an entire
interval
partial interval recording - ANSWER recording whether a behavior occurs at least once
during an interval
momentary time sampling - ANSWER recording whether a behavior is occurring at the
end of an interval
the four functions of behavior - ANSWER automatic, attention, escape, tangible
automatic reinforcement - ANSWER reinforcement that occurs as a physical response
to the behavior
tangible reinforcement - ANSWER reinforcement in the form of a preferred item or
activity
attention reinforcement - ANSWER reinforcement in the form of social attention from
others
escape/avoidance reinforcement - ANSWER reinforcement that comes as the result of
avoiding some aversive stimulus through either escape or avoidance
escape - ANSWER ceasing the experience of an aversive stimulus
avoidance - ANSWER preventing the experience of an aversive stimulus
antecedent - ANSWER stimulus that occurs immediately before a behavior
behavior - ANSWER anything a person does
consequence - ANSWER stimulus that occurs following a behavior
