science methods of description, quantification, and analysis.

Aversive stimulus - answer✔✔stimulus conditions whose termination functions as reinforcement

Backward Chaining - answer✔✔A teaching procedure in which all behaviors are initially
completed by the trainer except for the final behavior in the chain.

3-term contingency - answer✔✔The basic unit of analysis in the analysis of operant behavior.
Includes antecedent, behavior, and consequence.

Deprivation - answer✔✔Absence of reinforcer for a period of time, thereby making that event
more effective as a reinforcer.

Event recording - answer✔✔Measurement procedure for obtaining a tally or count of the number
of times a behavior occurs.

Exclusion time out - answer✔✔the physical removal of a student from a reinforcing environment
or activity for a specific period of time

Extinction - answer✔✔The discontinuing of a reinforcement for a previously reinforced
behavior.

Extinction burst - answer✔✔An increase in the frequency of the responding when an extinction
procedure is implemented.

Forward Chaining - answer✔✔a method for teaching behavior chains that begins with the
learner being prompted and taught to perform the first behavior in the task analysis; the trainer
completed the remaining steps in the chain.

Establishing operant - answer✔✔a motivating operation that increases the effectiveness of some
stimulus, object, or event as a reinforcer

Generalization - answer✔✔a learned behavior that carries over into other environments

Negative punishment - answer✔✔A response behavior is followed immediately by the removal
of a stimulus. The response is eliminated or suppressed. (refusal to eat dinner, get no dessert)

Negative Reinforcement - answer✔✔a response is followed immediately by the removal,
termination, reduction, or postponement of a stimulus, which leads to an increase in the future
occurrence of that response.

Non-exclusion time out - answer✔✔Person remains within setting but does not have access to
reinforcers for a specified period

IRT Inter Response Time - answer✔✔interval of time between occurrences of the target
behavior.

Motivating Operant - answer✔✔An environmental variable that (a) alters (increases or
decreases) the reinforcing effectiveness of some stimulus, object, or event and (b) alters
(increases or decreases) the current frequency of all behavior that have been reinforced by that
stimulus, object, or event".

Operant behavior - answer✔✔any behavior whose future frequency is determined by its history
of consequences.

Operant conditioning - answer✔✔A process of behavior modification in which the likelihood of
a specific behavior is increased or decreased through positive or negative reinforcement each
time the behavior is exhibited, so that the subject comes to associate the pleasure or displeasure
of the reinforcement with the behavior.

Positive punishment - answer✔✔Adding an aversive stimulus after a behavior in order to
decrease the likelihood that the behavior will occur again in the future

Positive reinforcement - answer✔✔Adding a preferred stimulus after behavior

Premack principle - answer✔✔A higher frequency behavior will function as reinforcement for a
lower frequency behavior.

Punishment - answer✔✔Consequence that decreases the frequency of the response it follows.

Ratio Strain - answer✔✔A disruption in responding due to an overly demanding response
requirement.

Reinforcement - answer✔✔A stimulus event immediately following a behavior that increase the
future frequency of that behavior.

Repertoire - answer✔✔All of the behaviors a person can do
