Motivating Operations (MO) - An environmental variable that alters the
... [Show More] reinforcing effectiveness of some stimulus, object, or event.
Contingency - Refers to dependent and/or temporal relations between operant behavior an it's controlling variables.
Satiation - Repeated presentation of a reinforcer weakens its effectiveness and for this reason the rate of responses declines.
Positive Reinforcement - A type of reinforcement in which the presentation of the stimulus is contingent upon the response, resulting in an increase in the future probability of that response
Negative Reinforcement - A type of reinforcement in which removal of a stimulus is contingent on a response, resulting in an increase in the future probability of that response.
Positive Punishment - A type of punishment in which stimulus presentation is contingent on a response, resulting in the decrease of the future probability of that response
Negative Punishment - A type of punishment in which stimulus removal is contingent on a response, resulting in the decrease of the future probability of that response.
Establishing Operations (EO) - Increases motivation for something and increases likelihood you will try to access that reinforcer
Abolishing Operations (AO) - Decreases motivation for something and decreases likelihood you will try to access that reinforcer
Discriminative Stimulus (SD) - A stimulus in the presence of which a particular response will be reinforced and in the absence of which that response will not be reinf
Stimulus Control (Discriminative Control) - The tendency for the target behavior to occur in the presence of the SD (b/c it was reinforced in the past)
Discrimination Training - Teach the child to respond to/tell the difference between two (or more) SDs.
Discrete Trial Training (DTT) - A specific method of teaching in which a task is isolated and taught across multiple trials. A specific opportunity (antecedent) is presented and a specific response is expected. A consequence follows the response.
Fluency-Based Training - Taking an existing skill and increasing accuracy and speed of skill performance in order to develop competence
Errorless Learning - Involves early and immediate prompting of the target response so that the learner's response is sure to be correct. [Show Less]
