Reinforcing consequences following the response increases its future frequency and aversive consequences following the response decrease its future frequency TERM 2
DEFINITION 2 A neutral stimulus acquires the eliciting properties of an unconditioned stimulus through pairing the unconditioned stimulus with a neutral stimulus TERM 3
DEFINITION 3 Establishing o conditioned stimulus by pairing a neutral stimulus with an already established conditioned stimulus TERM 4
DEFINITION 4 Present the conditioned stimulus without pairing it with the unconditioned stimulus or with an already established conditioned stimulus and the conditioned stimulus will lose its eliciting power TERM 5
DEFINITION 5 An unlearned response elicited by the presentation of an unconditioned stimulus
A learned response elicited by the presentation of a conditioned stimulus TERM 7
DEFINITION 7 A stimulus that has acquired its eliciting properties through previous pairing with another stimulus TERM 8
DEFINITION 8 A stimulus that produces the unconditioned response without previous pairing with another stimulus TERM 9
DEFINITION 9 The behavioral contingencies in the presence of one stimulus affect the frequency of the response in the presence of another stimulus TERM 10
DEFINITION 10 A stimulus i the presence of which a particular response will be reinforced or punished
The physical properties of a stimulus TERM 17
DEFINITION 17 Reinforcing or punishing a response in the presence of one stimulus class and extinguishing it or allowing it to recover in the presence of another stimulus class TERM 18
DEFINITION 18 The occurrence of a response more frequently in the presence of one stimulus that in the presence of another usually as a result of discrimination training procedure TERM 19
DEFINITION 19 The pairing of a neutral stimulus with a reinforcer or aversive stimulus TERM 20
DEFINITION 20 A stimulus that is a reinforcer though not as a result of pairing with another reinforcer
if one activity occur more often than another, the opportunity to do the more frequent activity will reinforce the less frequent activity TERM 22
DEFINITION 22 A stimulus that is a reinforcer because it has been paired with another reinforcer TERM 23
DEFINITION 23 The differential reinforcement of only that behavior that more and more closely resembles the terminal behavior TERM 24
DEFINITION 24 a stimulus that is aversive thought not as a result of pairing with other aversive stimuli TERM 25
DEFINITION 25 a stimulus that is aversive because it has been paired with another aversive stimulus
a stimulus that increases the frequency of response it follows TERM 32
DEFINITION 32 The response-contingent presentation of a reinforcer resulting in an increased frequency of that response TERM 33
DEFINITION 33 the experiment is conducted with at least two groups of subjects and the data are usually presented in terms of the mean average of the performance of all subjects combined for each group TERM 34
DEFINITION 34 the response-contingent removal of a tangible reinforcer TERM 35
DEFINITION 35 Responding occurs more often in the presence of one stimulus class and less often in the presence of another stimulus class because of concept training
the entire experiment is conducted with a single subject though it may be replicated with several other subjects TERM 37
DEFINITION 37 a set of responses that are either similar on at least on e response dimensions or share the effects of reinforcement or punishment or serve the same function TERM 38
DEFINITION 38 the time from beginning to the end of a response TERM 39
DEFINITION 39 response contingent presentation of an aversive condition resulting in a decreased frequency of the response TERM 40
DEFINITION 40 The variable the experimenter systematically manipulates to influence the dependent variable
stopping the punishment of penalty contingency for a previously punished response may cause the response frequency to increase to its frequency before the punishment or penalty contingency TERM 47
DEFINITION 47 the sequence (path of movement) form or location of components of a response relative to the rest of the body TERM 48
DEFINITION 48 The response-contingent removal of a reinforcer resulting in a decreased frequency of that response TERM 49
DEFINITION 49 initial increase in the response frequency, magnitude, or intensity TERM 50
DEFINITION 50 the way reinforcement occurs because of the number of responses time since reinforcement, time between responses and stimulus conditions
a reinforcer is contingent on the last of a fixed number of responses TERM 52
DEFINITION 52 a reinforcer is contingent on the last of a variable number of responses TERM 53
DEFINITION 53 a reinforcer is contingent on the first response after variable interval of time since the last opportunity for reinforcement TERM 54
DEFINITION 54 a reinforcer is contingent on the first response, after a fixed interval of time, since the last opportunity for reinforcement TERM 55
DEFINITION 55 behaving as if the response causes some specific outcome, when it really does not
