ABA503 - Chapter 4: Reinforcement and Extinctionof Operant Behavior
a method in which an organism is "free" to emit many responses or none at all without
interference by the experimenter - ANS-free operant method
all of the behavior that an organism is capable of emitting - ANS-repertoire
the method of successive approximation or shaping may be used to establish a response. this
method involves the reinforcement of closer and closer approximations to the final -
ANS-shaping
a higher-frequency behavior will function as reinforcement for a lower-frequency behavior -
ANS-premack principle
when each response produces reinforcement - ANS-continuous reinforcement (CRF)
a real-time graphical representation of operant rate. each response produces a constant upward
increment on the y-axis, and time is indexed on the x-axis - ANS-cumulative record
the rate of an operant before any known conditioning - ANS-operant level
a schedule programmed so that some rather than all operants are reinforced - ANS-intermittent
reinforcement
a contingency where an ongoing stimulus or event is removed (or prevented) by some response
(operant) and the rate of response increases - ANS-negative reinforcement
a low rate of operant behavior that occurs as a function of an S^ - ANS-discriminated extinction
the number of responses that occur in a given period of time - ANS-rate
the selection of operant behavior during the lifetime of an organism - ANS-ontogenetic selection
the stimulus that precedes an operant that does not produce reinforcement - ANS-S-delta
after a period of extinction, an organism's rate of response may be close to operant level -
ANS-spontaneous recovery
an increase or decrease in operant response as a function of the consequences that have
followed the response - ANS-operant conditioning
