ABA 503 Exam 2 (chapters 9-18)
The creation of maintenance of a sequence of discriminated operants such that response during
one stimulus are followed by other stimuli that reinforce those responses and set the occasion
for the next ones - ANS-Chaining
A schedule in which a reinforcer is delivered after t seconds without a response -
ANS-differential reinforcement of other behavior (DRO)
The spread of effects of reinforcement to responses outside the limits of an operant class.
Sometimes called response generalization - ANS-induction
Reinforcement of some responses but not others, depending on intensive, temporal,
topographical, or other properties of responses - ANS-Differential reinforcement
A schedule in which a response is reinforced only if at least t seconds have passed since the
last response - ANS-differential reinforcement of low rate (DRL)
When a proportion of responses within an operant class increases as a result of differential
reinforcement - ANS-Differentiation
Gradually modifying some property of responding, often but not necessarily topography by
differentially reinforcing successive approximations to a target operant class - ANS-Shaping
Behavior that occurs in a consistent relation to reinforced behavior and that, though reinforcers
are not explicitly arranged for it, is maintained because it makes reinforcers more likely -
ANS-Mediating behavior
A schedule in which a response is reinforced only if at least n responses were emitted during
the last t seconds - ANS-differential reinforcement of high rate (DRH)
The form or structure of a response - ANS-Topography
The creation of temporally extended units in which sequences become so well established that
each response no longer depends on being occasioned by prior responses or reinforced by
subsequent ones - ANS-Chunking
The way in which events in the past, events extended over time, and recent events combine to
affect current behavior - ANS-Temporal integration
The consequence produced by a response - ANS-Function
, the production of a novel behavior (addition of new behavior) when new combinations of
stimulus properties that separately control different classes or properties of behavior engender
new combinations of those classes or properties - ANS-Adduction
procedure in which the choice of a stimulus that matches a sample stimulus is followed by a
reinforcer. - ANS-Matching-To-Sample
a procedure for transferring control of responding from one stimulus or set of stimuli to another
by gradually removing one while the other is gradually introduced. Stimuli may be faded in or
out - ANS-Fading
an operant defined in terms of the stimuli during which it occurs as well as its environmental
effect. This operant depends on the relations among three events (three-term contingency). -
ANS-Discriminated Operant
any difference in responding in the presence of different stimuli; in a more restricted usage, a
difference resulting from differential consequences of responding in the presences of or during
different stimuli - ANS-Discrimination
transfer of relation to new combinations through shared membership: if AB and BC, then AC. -
ANS-Transitivity
matching of a sample to itself AA, BB, CC - ANS-Reflexivity
looking at, orienting toward or otherwise responding to the functional features of a current
discriminative stimulus - ANS-Attention
an operant class that includes within it OTHER classes that can themselves function as
operants, as when generalized imitation includes all the component imitations that could be
separately reinforced - ANS-Higher-Order Classes
accurate performance that occurs at high rates and/or with short latencies, and that is well
retained long after long periods without practice - ANS-Fluency
a discrimination in which reinforcement of responding during one stimulus depends on (is
conditioned on) other stimuli - ANS-Conditioned Discrimination
term to describe the relationship between an antecedent, behavior, and consequence -
ANS-Three-Term Contingency
the determination of behavior by two or more variables ACTING AT THE SAME TIME -
ANS-Multiple Causation
