- 1DeterminismThings happen for a reason in systematic and functional way. Lawful and orderly way
- 2EmpiricismThe practice of objective observation of the phenomena of interest (behavior).
- 3Behavior analysisconsists of 3 major branches. Behaviorism, experimental analysis of behaviorism, and applied behavior analysis (ABA)
- 4Experimental Analysis of Behaviornatural science approach for discovering orderly and reliable relations between behavior and various types of environmental variables of which it is a function. What are relations between behavior and environment.
- 5ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis)As science, a systematic approach to understanding behavior of social importance.
as practice, the application of behavior analytic principles to improve socially important behaviors. - 6Behaviorbehavior of organism is portion of organism's interaction with it's environment that is characterized by detectable displacement in space through time of some part of the organism and that results in a measurable change in at least one aspect of the environment
* what do we do
Behavior is neither good or bad (don't make assumptions) - 7ResponceWhat happens after a behavior
- 8Responce classa group of responses with the same function (each response in the group produces same effect on the environment)
e.g. different ways to open a door. - 9RepetoireRefers to all the behaviors that a person can do. More often the term denotes a set or collection of knowledge and skills a person has learned that are relevant to particular settings or tasks.
- 10Environmenteverything going on around the behavior of organism. Includes context, temperature, noise, etc.
- 11Stimulusan energy change that effects an organism through it's cell receptors
*stuff in the environment that has effect on the organism. - 12Antecedentrefers to environmental conditions or stimulus changes that conditions or stimulus changes that exist or occur prior to the behavior of interest
*what happened before the behavior we are interested in began. - 13Consequencea stimulus change that follows a behavior of interest
*what happens after behavior?
**it is not something punishing or not fun - 14respondentelicited or brought out by stimuli that immediately precede them.
e.g. The antecedent stimulus (bright light) and the response it elicits (pupil constriction) form a functional unit called a reflex. Respondent behaviors are essentially involuntary and occur whenever the eliciting stimulus is presented. - 15Respondent conditioningnew stimulus can acquire the ability to elicit respondents (pairing with antecedent).
- 16HabitutationIf the eliciting stimulus is presented repeatedly over a short span of time, the strength or magnitude of response will diminish, and in some cases may not occur at all.
- 17Operantnot elicited by preceding stimulus but instead are influenced by stimulus changes that have followed behavior in the past.
- 18fre operantduration, rate, frequency, etc of behavior absent of any restrictions
*How often would you watch TV if there was no restrictions? - 19Three term contingencya concept for expressing and organizing the temporal and functional relations between operant behavior ad environment
antecedent --> Behavior --> consequence - 20Establishing operationA) an increase in the reinforcing effectiveness of some stimulus, object or event, B) an increase in current frequency of behavior that has been reinforced by some stimulus, object or event (sleep deprived --> more sleep)
- 21Abolishing OperationA) Decrease in the reinforcing effectivness of some stimulus, object or event... B) a decrease in current frequency of behavior that has been reinforced by some stimulus, object or event.
- 22Pivitol Behaviorbehavior that once learned produces corresponding modifications or covariation in other adaptive, untrained behaviors.
e.g. grip to write name - 23Behavioral Cuspbehavior that has consequence beyond change itself. Some considered important e.g. walking.
- 24Multiple Exemplar TrainingInstruction that provides Practice with response topographies to help ensure that acquisition of desired response forms and also promotes response generalization in the form of untrained topographies. E.g. putting down multiple pictures of pizza, and knowing that they are all pizza.
- 25Verbal Behavior (Skinner)the behavior of an individual that has been reinforced through the mediation of other person's response.
Verbal Behavior involves social interactions between speakers and listeners - 26Speakergain access to reinforcer and control environment through the behavior of listeners.
- 27Listenermust learn how to reinforce speakers verbal behavior, meaning listeners are taught to respond to words and interact with speakers.
- 28how many classes of verbal operents?4; echoic, tact, mand, interverbal
- 29Echoicstimulus is auditory and response is speaking (echoing what one hears - repeating what's heard)
- 30Tacttype of verbal behavior with the response form controlled primarily by an immediately prior stimus (an object, action relation, property, etc.)
Naming or identifying objects, actions, events, etc. Saying Pizza because you see a pizza (expressively label) - 31MandA type of verbal behavior with the response form or topography (stimuli) controlled by a current unlearned or learned Establishing Operation (EO)
asking for reinforcers that you want like saying pizza because you want pizza (requestiong/asking) - 32Interverbaltype of verbal behavior with the response form controlled by 1) a verbal stimulus (product of someone's verbal behavior but not simple, 2)the response does NOT have point to point correspondence.
Answering questions, conversations controlled words - 33Point to Point correspondencea relation between stimulus and response (product) that is in effect when subdivisions or parts of stimulus control subdivisions or parts of response (product) but controlled and controlling parts don't resemble one another in physical sense of similarity.
asking a question in two different ways that will give the same response
e.g. Where is the dog, Alan? Can you point to the dog? - 34formal similaritywhere controlling stimulus and response product are 1)in same sense mode (both are visual or auditory or tactile) and 2) resemble each other in the physical sense of resemblance (look alike, sound alike, feel alike).
- 35Textualverbal operant that has point-to-point correspondence, but not formal similarity between the stimulus and response product
e.g. stimulus verbal, response auditory (reading out loud, saying pizza after reading) - 36transcription/ taking dictationverbal behavior which a spoken verbal stimulus controls a written, typed or finger spelled response
e.g. writing or spelling words spoken to you - 37Autocliticchanging the inflection of your voice to elicit a different response from listener.
e.g. It's raining today (get umbrella) vs. it's raining today? (check the weather) - 38Private eventsThose events that take place within an organism's skin or are otherwise only accessible to the organism (what is going on inside of you)
- 39multiple controlconvergent: multiple variables --> one response
Divergent: one variable --> multiple responses - 40Baselinerate, duration, literacy, etc. of the behavior of interest prior to manipulation of environment.
- 41confounding variableuncontrolled variable known or suspected to exert an influence on the dependent variable.
- 42Internal Validityexperiments that show convincingly that changes in behavior are a function of the individual variable and are not a result of uncontrolled or unknown variables are said to have high degree of validity.
- 43external validitydegree to which a study's results are generalizable to other subjects, settings, and/or behavior (how applicable results to wider group).
