Cards in this deck (12)
- 1Operant ConditioningStimulus --> Response --> Reinforcement or Punishment
ex: Thorndike puzzle box or Skinner box - 2Discriminative StimuliCues that influence operant behavior by indicating the probable consequences of a response
- 3ReinforcerAn event that increases or maintains frequency of a behavior
- work to obtain and do nothing to avoid - 4Positive Reinforcement (+)Add something after a behavior = behavior happens more often
- 5Negative Reinforcement (-)Subtract something after a behavior = behavior happens less often
- 6Primary ReinforcerNot dependent on their association with other reinforcers
Often satisfy basic physical or psychological needs
More susceptible to satiation - 7Secondary Reinforcer (conditioned reinforcer)Dependent on their association with other reinforcers
Take on reinforcing properties by repeated pairings with primary reinforcers
More dependent on context - 8The Premack PrincipleIf a person wants to perform a particular behavior, then they will perform less desirable behaviors to enable that more desirable behavior
ex: if you clean your room we can go to the pool - 9ExtinctionWithholding the reinforcement that maintains a target behavior
- 10Extinction BurstA sharp increase in the frequency of the behavior of extinction
- 11Differential ReinforcementAny procedure that combines extinction and reinforcement to change the frequency of a target behavior
- 12DRL (Low response rate)Reinforce a target behavior only when it occurs at a low rate
