ABA 503: SAFMEDS 3
On a concurrent schedule, a changeover is a response that an organism emits when it switches
from one alternative to another. - ANS-Changeover Response
The distribution of operant behavior among alternative sources of reinforcement. - ANS-Choice
Two or more schedules of reinforcement that are simultaneously available. Each alternative is
associated with a separate schedule of reinforcement, and the organism is free to distribute
behavior to the schedules. - ANS-Concurrent Schedules of Reinforcement
A reduction in the present value of a reinforcer as a function of delay. - ANS-Delay Discounting
Used to present concurrent schedules in the operant laboratory, separate schedules are
programmed on a single key. The schedule in effect is switched by making a response on a
changeover key. - ANS-Findley Procedure
Choice of an immediate reinforcer over a delayed but relatively better (e.g., larger) reinforcer. -
ANS-Impulsive Behavior
When two or more concurrent-interval schedules are available, the relative rate of response
matches (or equals) the relative rate of reinforcement. - ANS-Matching Law
When changes in the response ratio are larger than changes in the ratio of reinforcement. This
outcome occurs because relative behavior increases faster than predicted from relative rate of
reinforcement. - ANS-Overmatching
When several schedules of reinforcement are available concurrently, one alternative is chosen
more frequently than others. - ANS-Preference
Choice of a delayed relatively better reinforcer over an immediate reinforcer. - ANS-Self-Control
Behavior
On a concurrent schedule of reinforcement, the alternative schedules are presented on
separate response keys. - ANS-Two-Key Procedure
When changes in the response ratio are less than changes in the reinforcement ratio. This
outcome occurs because relative behavior increases slower than predicted from relative rate of
reinforcement. - ANS-Undermatching
