Positive Reinforcement - Correct Answer✔️✔️-* In operant conditioning, positive

reinforcement involves the addition of a reinforcing stimulus followed by a behavior that

makes more likely that the behavior will occur again in the future

* When a favorable outcome, event, or reward occurs after an action, that particular

response or behavior will be strengthened

* Example: You get an A on your test (positive stimulus), which increases your behavior

of studying (reinforcer)

Negative Reinforcement - Correct Answer✔️✔️-* Is a term described by B.F. Skinner in

his theory of operant conditioning

* In negative reinforcement, a response or behavior is strengthened by stopping,

removing, or avoiding a negative outcome or aversive stimulus

* Example: You avoid getting a sun burn (negative stimulus), which increases your

behavior of applying sunblock in the future (reinforcement)

Reinforcer - Correct Answer✔️✔️-* Reinforcers are tangible and intangible objects or

actions that are used to increase the occurrence of a certain behavior

* Reinforcers are critical to the success of an ABA therapy program because they are

instrumental in getting and shaping the right behaviors in a child diagnosed with ASD

Punisher - Correct Answer✔️✔️-* Positive Punishment: This works by presenting a

negative consequence after an undersized behavior is exhibited, making the behavior

less likely to happen in the future

* Example: A child picks his nose during class and the teacher reprimands him in front

of his classmates

* Negative punishment: This happens when a certain desired stimulus/item is removed

after a particular undesired behavior is exhibited, resulting in the behavior happening

less often in the future

* Example: Siblings get in a fight over who gets to go first in a game or who gets to play

with a new toy, the parent takes the game/toy away

Conditioned Reinforcer - Correct Answer✔️✔️-* Secondary reinforcement

* A learned reinforcer that gains value through its association with a primary reinforcer

* Example: Money

* Example: A boss offers incentives, like bonuses for good work

Unconditioned Reinforcer - Correct Answer✔️✔️-* Primary reinforcers are reinforcers that

have innate reinforcing qualities. These kind of reinforcers are not learned

* Water, food, sleep, sex, and tough, among others, are primary (unconditioned)

reinforcers

* Pleasure is also a primary reinforcer

* Example: Jumping in a cool lake on a very hot day would be reinforcing and the cool

lake would be innately reinforcing - the water would cool the person off (a physical

need), as well as provide pleasure

Extinction - Correct Answer✔️✔️-* No longer providing the reinforcement that was being

provided to a particular behavior

* When using extinction, it is helpful to provide reinforcement for a behavior you would

rather see instead

* If needed, teach or shape the alternative behavior if the child (or person) does not

currently perform the behavior

* Example: Mom could put her child's whining on extinction by no longer giving the child

what he wants when he whines

Deprivation - Correct Answer✔️✔️-* Is not having any or enough of something

* Deprivation of a single reinforcer increases the value of that reinforcer

* Example: When using water balloons for a reinforcer, make sure the child only has

access to the water balloons when you are around so the child is deprived of the

reinforcer

Satiation - Correct Answer✔️✔️-* Refers to having too much

* If the same reinforcer is used over and over again, it will lose its reinforcing value

Contingency - Correct Answer✔️✔️-* Is the relationship between two events, one event

"contingent" or a consequence of the other event
