, conditioned punisher - ANS A previously neutral stimulus change that functions as a punisher
because of prior pairing with one or more other punishers.
unconditioned punisher - ANS A stimulus that, usually, is punishing without any prior learning.
conditioned reinforcer - ANS a stimulus that has acquired reinforcing properties through prior
learning
Unconditioned Reinforcer - ANS A stimulus that, usually, is reinforcing without any prior
learning.
K
Side effects of punishment - ANS May lead to an increase in other undesirable behavior.
Can lead to problems such as escape & avoidance, emotional outbursts, and behavioral
C
contrast.
Reinforcer - ANS any event that strengthens the behavior it follows
LO
Punisher - ANS A stimulus change that decreases the future frequency of behavior that
immediately precedes it.
Hernstein's Matching Law - ANS suggests that when different schedules of reinforcement are
YC
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 - ANS The three-term contingency is made of these three
terms:
D
antecedent - ANS is the environmental conditions or stimulus changes that exist or occur prior
to the behavior of interest.
U
behavior - ANS An organism's interaction with the environment.
consequence - ANS is anything immediately following a behavior in which we are interested.
ST
Makes the behavior more or less likely to happen in the future.
Discriminative Stimulus (SD) - ANS 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) - ANS influences the effectiveness of a reinforcer or punisher while
also influencing the frequency of the specific behavior.
Premack Principle - ANS Some professionals will also refer to this technique as "First/Then",
"If/Then", or "High Probability/Low Probability."
