PSYC 351~ CHAPTER 7 VOCAB wellanswered already passed
behavioral bliss point - correct answer ✔✔The preferred distribution of an organism's activities before
an instrumental condi- tioning procedure is introduced that sets constraints and limitations on response
allocation.
consummatory-response theory - correct answer ✔✔A theory that assumes that species-typical
consummatory responses (eating, drinking, and the like) are the critical features of reinforcers.
demand curve - correct answer ✔✔The relation between how much of a commodity is purchased and
the price of the commodity.
differential probability principle - correct answer ✔✔A principle that assumes that reinforcement
depends on how much more likely the organism is to perform the reinforcer response than the
instrumental response before an instrumental conditioning procedure is introduced. The greater the
differential probability of the reinforcer and instrumental responses during baseline conditions, the
greater is the reinforcement effect of providing opportunity to engage in the reinforcer response after
performance of the instrumental response. Also known as the Premack principle.
elasticity of demand - correct answer ✔✔The degree to which price influ- ences the consumption or
purchase of a commodity. If price has a large effect on consumption, elasticity of demand is high. If price
has a small effect on consump- tion, elasticity of demand is low.
minimum-deviation model - correct answer ✔✔A model of instrumental behavior, according to which
participants respond to a response-reinforcer contingency in a manner that gets them as close as
possible to their behavioral bliss point.
Premack principle - correct answer ✔✔The same as differential probabil- ity principle.
response-deprivation hypothesis - correct answer ✔✔An explanation of reinforcement according to
which restricting access to a response below its baseline rate of occurrence (response deprivation) is
sufficient to make the opportunity to perform that response an effective positive reinforcer.
