EDF 6225 Proctored Exam.

EDF 6225 Proctored Etioned punisher - answerA previously neutral stimulus change that functions as a punisher because of prior pairing with one or more other punishers. unconditioned punisher - answerA stimulus that, usually, is punishing without any prior learning. conditioned reinforcer - answera stimulus that has acquired reinforcing properties through prior learning Unconditioned Reinforcer - answerA stimulus that, usually, is reinforcing without any prior learning. Side effects of punishment - answerMay lead to an increase in other undesirable behavior. Can lead to problems such as escape & avoidance, emotional outbursts, and behavioral contrast. Reinforcer - answerany event that strengthens the behavior it follows Punisher - answerA stimulus change that decreases the future frequency of behavior that immediately precedes it. Hernstein's Matching Law - answersuggests that when different schedules of reinforcement are available at the same time for different behaviors, individuals will distribute their behavior according to the relative rates of reinforcement available for each option. antecedent, behavior, consequence - answerThe three-term contingency is made of these three terms: antecedent - answeris the environmental conditions or stimulus changes that exist or occur prior to the behavior of interest. behavior - answerAn organism's interaction with the environment. consequence - answeris anything immediately following a behavior in which we are interested. Makes the behavior more or less likely to happen in the future. Discriminative Stimulus (SD) - answeris the antecedent stimulus that has stimulus control over behavior because the behavior was reliably reinforced in the presence of that stimulus in the past. It signals the availability of a particular reinforcer for a particular behavior. Motivating Operation (MO) - answerinfluences the effectiveness of a reinforcer or punisher while also influencing the frequency of the specific behavior. Premack Principle - answerSome professionals will also refer to this technique as "First/Then", "If/Then", or "High Probability/Low Probability."
