ABA Flashcardsa 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. -
ANS-Abative Effect
A motivating operation that decreases the reinforcing effectiveness of a stimulus, object, or
event. Ex: the reinforcing effectiveness of food is abolished as a result of food ingestion. -
ANS-Abolishing Operation
Behavior that occurs as 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. - ANS-Adjunctive Behavior / Schedule-Induced Behavior
Environmental condition or stimulus change existing or occurring prior to a behavior of interest. -
ANS-Antecedent
A behavior change strategy that manipulates contingency independent antecedent stimuli
(motivating operations) - ANS-Antecedent Intervention
The science in which tactics derived from the principles of behavior are applied to improve
socially significant behavior and experimentation is used to identify the variables responsible for
the improvement of behavior. - ANS-Applied Behavior Analysis
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".) -
ANS-Arbitrary Stimulus Class
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. - ANS-Artifact
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. - ANS-Autoclitic
Reinforcement that occurs independent of the social mediation of others. - ANS-Automatic
Reinforcement
,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. - ANS-Automacity of Reinforcement
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. -
ANS-Aversive Stimulus
...Treatment procedure in which a trainer completes all but the last behavior in a chain, which is
performed by the learner, who then receivesreinforcement for completing the chain. When
learner shows competence in performing the final step in the chain, the trainer performs al but
the last two behaviors in the chain, the learner emits the final two steps to compelte the chain,
and reinforcement is delivered. - ANS-Backward Chaining
...Tangible objects, activiites or privledges that serve as reinforcers and that can be purchased
with tokens - ANS-Back up reinforcers
condition of an experiment in which the independent variable is not present - ANS-Baseline
...activity of living organisms. A portion of a humans interaction with their environment that is
characterized by detectable displacement in space though time of some part of the organism
and that results in a measurable change in at least one aspect of the environment. -
ANS-Behavior
...an alteration in the current frequency of a behavior that has been reinforced by a stimulus that
has been altered in effectiveness by the same motivating operation - ANS-Behavior Altering
Effect
... 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 on the other, unaltered component of the schedule -
ANS-Behavioral Contrast
...a behavior that has sudden and dramatic consequences that extend well beyond the
idiosyncratic change itself because it exposes the person to new environments, reinforcers,
contingencies, responses, and stimulus controls. - ANS-Behavioral Cusp
A metaphor to describe a rate of responding and its resistance to change following an alteration
in reinforcement conditions. - ANS-Behavioral Momentum
The philosophy of a science of behavior there are various forms of behaviorism. -
ANS-Behaviorism
, ...an experiment designed to identify the active elements of a treatment condition, the relative
contributions of different variables in a treatment package, and/or the necessary and sufficient
components of an intervention. ....compares levels of responding across successive phases in
which the intervention is implemented with one or more components left out - ANS-Component
Analysis
...a schedule of reinforcement in which two or more contingencies of reinforcement (elements)
operate independently and simultaneously for two or more behaviors - ANS-Concurrent
Schedule
The likelihood that a target behavior will occur in a given circumstance, computed by calculating
the a)the proportion of occurrences of a behavior that were preceded by a specific antecedent
variable and b) the proportion of occurrences of problem behavior that were followed by a
specific consequence. The closer the conditional probability to 1.0 the stronger the relationship
is between target behavior and the antecedent/consequence variable. - ANS-Conditional
Probability
...motivating operation whose value altering effect depends on a learning history -
ANS-Conditioned Motivating Operation
...previously neutral stimulus that functions as a punisher because of prior pairing with one or
more other punishers - ANS-Conditioned Punisher
stimulus change that functions as a reinforcer because of prior pairing with one or more other
reinforcers - ANS-Conditioned Reinforcer
...The stimulus component of at conditioned reflex; a formerly neutral stimulus change that
elicits respondent behavior only after it has been paired with an unconditioned stimulus or
another CS - ANS-Conditioned Stimulus
a situation in which a person in a position of responsibility or trust has competing professional or
personal interests that make it difficult to fulfill his or her duties impartially. - ANS-Conflict of
Interest
an uncontrolled factor known or suspected to exert influence on the dependent variable. -
ANS-Confounding Variable
...is a stimulus change that follows a behavior it can be Reinforcing, Punishing, or Neutral -
ANS-Consequence
Refers to dependent and/or temporal relations between operant behavior and its controlling
variables - ANS-Contingency
