    Study Notes

    Operant Conditioning

    • Operant behavior is a deliberate action that affects the environment and leads to consequences.
    • The learning process involved in operant behavior is called operant conditioning.

    Antecedent-Behavior-Consequence

    • A behavior is influenced by antecedents (preceding environmental factors) and consequences (following environmental factors).

    Shaping

    • Shaping is the development of a new behavior by reinforcing closer approximations and extinguishing preceding approximations of the behavior.

    Behavior Modification

    • Behavior modification is the application of behavioral learning principles to change behavior.
    • Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is used to change inappropriate or ineffective classroom behaviors.

    ABAB Design

    • The ABAB design is used to evaluate the effectiveness of an intervention:
      • A: Take a baseline measurement of the behavior
      • B: Apply the intervention
      • A: Stop the intervention to see if the behavior returns to the baseline level
      • B: Reintroduce the intervention

    Implementing Behavior Modification in Classrooms

    • Clearly specify the behavior to be changed and the goal.
    • Observe and note the current level of the behavior.
    • Plan a specific intervention using antecedents, consequences, or both.
    • Keep track of the results and modify the plan if necessary.

    Learning

    • Learning is a relatively permanent change in an individual's knowledge, behavior, or potential for behavior.

    Behavioral Views of Learning

    • Aristotle's principles of association include similarity, contrast, and contiguity.
    • Contiguity is the most important principle, as it is included in all explanations of learning by association.

    Extinction and Spontaneous Recovery

    • Extinction: a behavior that has been reinforced for a period of time is no longer reinforced, and the behavior stops occurring.
    • Spontaneous Recovery: the behavior may occur again even after it has not occurred for some time.

    Stimulus Generalization and Stimulus Discrimination

    • Stimulus Generalization: a behavior occurs in the presence of stimuli that are similar to the discriminative stimulus.
    • Stimulus Discrimination: the ability to distinguish between similar stimuli, such as recognizing the sounds of different letters in the alphabet.
