Study Notes
Key Concepts in Behavioral Analysis
-
Abative Effect: Refers to a decrease in the frequency of a behavior currently reinforced by a stimulus that has increased in reinforcing effectiveness due to a motivating operation.
-
Abolishing Operation (AO): A motivating operation that reduces the effectiveness of a reinforcing stimulus, exemplified by how food ingestion diminishes the reinforcing value of food.
-
Antecedent Exercise: Involves engaging clients in an independent, effortful form of aerobic activity to address problem behaviors without direct reinforcement.
-
Antecedent Intervention: A strategy manipulating antecedent stimuli based on motivating operations, stimulus control, and contingency-independent interventions to influence behavior change.
-
Autoclitic: A form of verbal behavior with two interlocking levels in one utterance, enhancing communication by providing additional information about a primary response.
-
Backward Chaining: A method where a trainer performs all but the last behavior in a sequence. The learner completes the final step to receive reinforcement, gradually building up to the entire chain.
-
Behavior-Altering Effect: Encompasses increases (evocative effect) or decreases (abative effect) in behaviors previously reinforced by certain stimuli or events.
-
Behavioral Momentum: Describes a behavior's resistance to change after alterations in reinforcement conditions; related to the high-probability request sequence's effects.
-
Causal Relations: Represents if-then relationships critical for scientific understanding; helps define stimulus classes and behavioral functions influenced by these stimuli.
-
Chaining: Refers to methods for linking specific sequences of stimuli and responses to create new behaviors.
-
Conditional Discrimination: A performance that relies on the sample stimulus in a match-to-sample procedure to distinguish between comparison stimuli.
-
Conditioned Motivating Operation (CMO): A motivating operation whose effectiveness relies on a learning history; for example, the association of locked doors with keys increases the value of keys as reinforcers.
-
Constant Time Delay: A procedure that shifts stimulus control from response prompts to natural stimuli using a fixed time delay after simultaneous presentation.
-
Contextual Control: Indicates that the context affects the function of stimuli, which requires three levels of antecedent stimuli and a five-term contingency for proper functioning.
-
Derived Stimulus Relations: Identifies relations between two or more stimuli emerging via indirect instruction or experience.
-
Echoic: A basic verbal operant where a response is triggered by a verbal stimulus, characterized by formal similarity and a history of general reinforcement.
-
Errorless Learning: Techniques designed to gradually transfer stimulus control while minimizing the occurrence of errors.
-
Enriched Environment: An intervention providing noncontingent access to preferred reinforcement sources, fostering competition for stimulating activities.
