Positive Reinforcement
Reinforcment: behavior increases in the future. We don't know if the reinforcer works until the future when we see increased
... [Show More] behavior. Positive: Consequence is an increase of behavior to what child had
Negative Reinforcement
Negative: Take away Consequence: an increase in the behavior
Positive Punishment
Something is added. Behavior Decreases
Negative Punishment
Something taken away. Behavior Decreases
Reinforcer
Consequence that increases behavior
Punisher
Consequence that decreases behavior
Unconditioned Reinforcer
Unlearned.Increases frequency of behavior. Think if you need it to survive its unconditioned
Extinction
Once you know what the reinforcer is that's painting that behavior, you eliminate it. Not giving that reinforcer that was painting the problem behavior. Ignoring is extinction only IF the behavior is to get attention. If the behavior is avoidance then the extinction would be by following through with the consequence instead of extinction. also: If the behavior happens but the reinforcer is not delivered--in sensory stimulation
Condtioned Reinforcer
Things that have been learned that increases the behavior
Contingency
What the behavior requirement is in order to earn the reinforcer or punisher. 3 term contingency: Antecedent, Behavior, Consequence
Discriminitive Stimulus
Tells the child what they should be doing.
a stimulus that indicates that reinforcement is available for doing a specific behavior. S-Delta: signals extinction is available. SDP: Signals punishment is available for behavior
Stimulus
The term usually used to describe a neutral stimulus. ie first time you told a child to touch a tendon and child didn't know what that was.
A change in an organism's surroundings that causes the organism to react
Stimulus Control
the effect that discriminitive stimulus has on the specific behavior
Response
An action or change in behavior that occurs as a result of a stimulus. Behavior and response are the same thing
Discrete Trial
Breaking skills down into small steps, and teaching one sub-skill at a time, until mastery.
Discrimination Training
Reinforce a response in the presence of a stimulus, but not in the absence of that stimulus.
train to respond to one stimuli and not another
Discrete Trial Training
A drill based teaching methodology. Four Stages: 1. Mass trials-same sd over and over 2. Block Trials-A block of one sd and a block of another sd 3. Expanded Trials-sd and distraction, then go back to sd, then increase distraction trials 4. Random Rotation-Asking for different skills at random. so's are changing
Natural environment training (NET)
Pivitol Response Training (prt) : Set up opportunities for child to practice skill rather than forcing. more naturalistic
Fluency Based Training
Precision Teaching. Trying to get as many correct responses in as short a time as possible. Fast and accurate
Generalization
when the skill is learned in a training setting and utilized in a novel setting.
(psychology) transfer of a response learned to one stimulus to a similar stimulus [Show Less]
