As an organic process that is defined by an observed increase in behavior, after that behavior is followed by a specific consequence = A procedure of applying a specific occurrence to deliberately increase the occurrence of the target behavior

What can reinforcement (SR) do?

  • Makes antecedent stimulus conditions relevant (correct)
  • Changes what comes after behavior (i.e consequence) and what comes before behavior (i.e antecedents) (correct)
  • Creates stimulus control, making responding in the presence of the Sd more likely (and not in the presence of the Sdelta) (correct)
  • Makes consequence stimulus conditions relevant

The immediacy of a reinforcer is critical (temporal relation) because

<p>Behaviors other than the target behavior can occur during the delay (A), The behavior temporally closet to the presentation of the reinforcer will be strengthened by its presentation (B), If the reinforcer does not immediately follow the response that was required for its production, then it will follow some other behavior (C)</p> Signup and view all the answers

What are conditions that provide strong indicators that behavior is the result of instructional control or is rule-governed behavior?

<p>No immediate consequences for the behavior is apparent (A), The response-consequence delay is greater than 30 seconds (B), Behavior changes without reinforcement; A large increase in the occurrence of the behavior occurs following one instance of reinforcement (C), No consequence for the behavior exists, including no automatic reinforcement, but the rule exists (D)</p> Signup and view all the answers
