Abative Effect - Answer✔️✔️-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. Ex: Food ingestion abates (decreases the current frequency

of) behavior that has been reinforced by food.

effectiveness of a stimulus, object, or event. Ex: the reinforcing effectiveness of food is

abolished as a result of food ingestion.

a collateral effect of a schedule of periodic reinforcement for other behavior: time filling

or interim activities (doodling, idle talking, smoking, drinking) that are induced by

schedules of reinforcement during times when reinforcement is unlikely to be delivered.

Antecedent - Answer✔️✔️-Environmental condition or stimulus change existing or

occurring prior to a behavior of interest.

experimentation is used to identify the variables responsible for the improvement of

behavior.

Arbitrary Stimulus Class - Answer✔️✔️-Antecedent stimuli that evoke the same response

but do not resemble each other in physical form or share a relational aspect such as

bigger or under (ex: peanuts, cheese, coconut milk are members of the same arbitrary

stimulus class if the evoke the response "sources of protein".)

Artifact - Answer✔️✔️-An outcome or result that appears to exist because of the way it is

measured but in fact does not correspond to what actually occurred.

Autoclitic - Answer✔️✔️-a secondary verbal operant in which some aspect of a speakers

own verbal behavior functions as an Sd or MO for additional speaker verbal behavior.

The autoclitic relation can be thought of as verbal behavior about verbal behavior.

Automatic Reinforcement - Answer✔️✔️-Reinforcement that occurs independent of the

social mediation of others.

Automacity of Reinforcement - Answer✔️✔️-Refers to the fact that behavior is modified

by its consequences irrespective of the person's awareness; a person does not have to

recognize or verbalize the relation between her behavior and a reinforcing

consequence, or even know a consequence has occurred, for reinforcement to work.

Aversive Stimulus - Answer✔️✔️-In general an unpleasant or noxious stimulus, more

technically, a stimulus change or condition that functions (a) to evoke a behavior that

has terminated it in the past; (b) as a punisher when presented following behavior,

and/or (c) as a reinforcer when withdrawn following behavior.

with their environment that is characterized by detectable displacement in space though

one aspect of the environment.

behavior that has been reinforced by a stimulus that has been altered in effectiveness

by the same motivating operation

Behavioral Contrast - Answer✔️✔️-... a phenomenon in which change in one component

of a multiple schedule that increases or decreases the rate of responding on that

component is accompanied by a change in the response rate in the opposite direction
