ABA503 - Chapter 10: Conditioned Reinforcement
conditioned reinforcer - ANS-an event of stimulus that has acquired its effectiveness to increase
operant rate on the basis of an organism's life or ontogenetic history
token economy - ANS-a reinforcement system based on token reinforcement. the system is an
economy in the sense that tokens may be exchanged for goods and services, in much the same
way as money is in our economy
observing response - ANS-a topographically different operant that functions to produce an SD or
S∆ depending on whether reinforcement or extinction is in effect
generalized conditioned reinforcer - ANS-a conditioned reinforcer that is backed up by many
other sources of reinforcement and is relatively independent of momentary level of MO for any
particular reinforcer
delay reduction hypothesis - ANS-stimuli that signal a decrease in time to positive
reinforcement, or an increase in time to an aversive event, are more effective conditioned
reinforcers
homogeneous chain schedule - ANS-a chain schedule where the topography or form of
response is similar in each link
concurrent chain schedule - ANS-two or more chain schedules that are simultaneously available
unconditioned reinforcer - ANS-a reinforcing stimulus that has acquired its properties as a
function of species history
chain schedule of reinforcement - ANS-two or more simple schedules, each of which is
presented sequentially and signaled by a discriminative stimulus (SD). only the final or terminal
link of the chain results in primary reinforcement
second order schedule - ANS-two (or more) schedules of reinforcement in which completion of
the requirements of one schedule is reinforced according to the requirements of a second
schedule
tandem schedule - ANS-two or more basic schedules presented sequentially in which only the
final link ends with primary reinforcement and the component schedules are not signaled by
discriminative stimuli
