L exam 3

biological stimuli that we do not have to learn (bright lights, loud noises, hot stoves)

learned stimuli (frowns, poor grades, fines or tickets)

involves the presentation of an aversive stimulus that decreases future frequency of the bx

involves the removal of an event that decreases the frequency of that bx(taking away TV privleges after brother hits sister)

the removal or prevention of an event or stimulus that increases operant behavior(water on windshield, turn on wipers, water goes away)

the termination of an aversive stimulus by a response (turning off alarm)

prevention of an aversive stimulus by a response (getting teeth cleaned at dentist=avoid cavities

avoidance behavior is emitted following a warning stimulus(the smell of moms meatloaf is signal to leave the house)

avoidance response occurs without warning stimulus(oil change before car has any mechanical problems)

concerned with large scale factors that regulate responding over a long period of time (avg. time b/w SR for session/overall shock frequency

focus on small moment to moment reltnshps b/w bx and its consequences (time b/w response shock interval)

allows individual to learn alternate bx, allows more opportunity to obtain reinforcer,reduces long term effects of undesirable bx

aggression is elicited by the presentation of an aversive stimulus or event

aggressive behavior that is reinforced (increased) by the removal of an aversive event arrange by another member of species

the future probability of behavior is reduced by the response-contingent withdrawal of desirable stimuli (library fines, traffic tickets)

the future probability of bx is decreased by response-contingent withdrawal of the opportunity to obtain desirable stimuli

control of behavior by antecedent events

to behave differently in the presence of diff. stimuli (being able to tell the difference b/w two bell sounds)

two or more basic schedules presented sequentially, each link ends with primary reinforcement or extinction

behaving similarly in the presence of diff. stimulus (disc. stimulus)

measures stimulus control

indicates discrimination, sharp stimulus control

indicates generalization, weak stimulus control

occurs for spatial generalization and recognition of faces

the trainer does not allow the organism to make mistakes by responding to the extinction stimulus (S delta)

transferring stimulus control from a prompt to a discriminative stimulus by gradually removing the prompt

presenting an antecedent stimulus or event that gets the behavior to occur in the right situation

a procedure that is used to investigate recognition of stimuli

discrimination between classes of events or objects and generalization within classes of events or objects

a differential response to stimuli that depends on the stimulus context
