theories Skinner

part of operant conditioning in which an operant response is followed by a reinforcer, thereby increasing the rate with which the response occurs

situation in whcih the organism can avoid an aversive stimulus by engaging in appropriate activity

approach to treating behavior disorders taht is based on any one of several learning theories

situation in which one response brings the organism into contact with stimuli that reinforce that reponse and stimulate the next response

type of conditioning studied by ivan pavlov and used by JB watson as a model for his version of behaviorism

response similar to an unconditioned response that is elicited by a previously neutral stimulus (CS)

stimuus that before classical conditioning principles are applied is biologically neutral: that is, it odes not elicit a natural reaction form an organism

agreement betwen two people taht when one acts in approate way, the other one gives him or her something of value

purposeive manipulation of reinforcement contingencies so they encourage desirable behaviors

situation in whcih  a certain reponse must be made before a reinfocer is obtained, that is, no repsonse, no reinforcer

schedule of reinforcemnt that reinforces a desired response each time it occurs

use of contingency management in designing a culture

a set of reinforcemnt contingencies

situationin which some responses are reinfoced and others are not

operant response that is made under one set of circumstances but not under others

cue indicatiing that if a cetain response is made it will be followed by reinforcemtn

accurate repeating of what someone else had said

situation in which an organism must response in a certain way to escpae form an aversive stimuls. all negavitve reinforcemtn involves this

weaking of an operant response by removing the reinforcer that had been following the response during acquisition. 

reinforcement schedule that reinforces a response that is made only after a specified interval of time has passed

reinforcemnt schedule that reinfoces everythin nth reponse

skinners approach to research that attempted to relate measurable environmental events to measurable behavior and bypass cognitive and physiologial processes altogether

class of secondary reinforces taht have been apaired with more than on eprimary reinforcer

verbal response that demands somethin and is reinforced when what is demanded is obtained

type of reinforcement that occurs when a reponse removes a primary or secondary negative reinforcer

situation in which no relationship exists between an orgaism;s behavior and the availability of reinforcement

behavior that cannot be linked to any known stimulus and therefore appears to be emitted rather than elicited

modification of repsonse strength bymanipulation of the consequences of the repsonse

frequencey with which an operant resposne is made bfore it is systematically reinforced

fact that a partially or intermittently reinforced response will take longer to extinguish than a response on a continuous or 100% schedule of reinforcement

schedule of reinforcement that sometimes reinforces a desired response and sometimes does not

type of reinforcement that ocurs when a response makes available a primary or secndary positive reinforcer

negative reinforcer that threatens an organism's survival

positive reinforcer that enhances the organism survival

any stimulus that is positively or negatively rleated to an organism's survival

either removing a positive reinforcer or presenting a negative reinforcer

the version of behaviorsm purposed by JB watson by which only directly observable events, such as stimulu and responses,  should constitute the subject matter of psychology

used by skinner to demonstrate operant conditioning

behavior that is elicited by a known stimulus

another term for classical or Pavlovian conditioning

negative reinforcer that derives its reinforcing properties through its association with a primary negative reinforcer

positive reinforcer that derives its reinforcing properties through its association witha  primary positive reinfocer

objects or events that acquire reinforcing properties through their associationwith primary reinforcers

gradual development of a response that an organism does not normally make

the tendency to emit operant responses in sitautions other than those in wih the responses were learned

situation in which one those responses that are in increasingly similar to the one ultimately desired are reinforced

behavior taht develops under noncontingent reinforcemnt in which the organism seems to believe that a relationship exists between its actions and reinforcement, which in fact no such relationship exists

that part of verbal behavior that accurately names objects and events in the environemtn

a form of punishment by which an organism is denied access to positive reinforcers that are normally available in the situation for a speciied interval of time

example of skinnerian ehavior therapy that usually occurs within an institutional setting such as a psychiatric hospital or scool

term skinner used to describe the condition of operant or emitted behavior to emphasize the important of the response to such conditioning

term skiner used to descrie classical condition to emphasize the importance of the stimuus to such conditioning

natural, automatic response elicited by an unconditioned stimulus

stimulus that elicits an automatic, natural response from an organism

reinforcemtns chedle in wich a certain average time inerval must pass before a respons will be reinforced

reinforcemtn schedule in which a certainaverage numer of responeses need to be made before reinforeemcent  is obtained

skiners term for language

written by skinner to show how his learning principles could be applied ot cultural engineering
