?
Shaping
Reinforcing successive approximations of the target behaviour
1 of 16
Blocking
Current CS blocks conditioning of a NS in a compound stimulus
2 of 16
4-term Contingency
Motivating operation - Discriminative stimulus - Behaviour - Reinforcer/Punisher
3 of 16
Ratio Reinforcement Schedule
Reinforcer provided after a number of responses; fixed or variable
4 of 16
Continuous Reinforcement Schedule
Reinforcer provided every time a behaviour occurs; less resistant to extinction
5 of 16
Interval Reinforcement Schedule
Reinforcer provided for the first response after a period of time; fixed or variable
6 of 16
Concurrent Reinforcement Schedules
2+ reinforcement schedules available simultaneously
7 of 16
Stimulus Generalisation
Similar responses to similar stimuli
8 of 16
Stimulus Discrimination
Different responses to different stimuli
9 of 16
Habituation
Decrease in the UR after repeated presentation of US
10 of 16
Spontaneous Recovery
Increased response magnitude to US or CS following habituation or respondent extinction
11 of 16
Latent Inhibition
Familiar stimuli take longer to become CS
12 of 16
Intermittent Reinforcement
Behaviour not reinforced every time is more resistant to extinction
13 of 16
Rule-governed Behaviour
Governed by verbal rules; consequences not always experienced directly; less sensitive to contingency changes
14 of 16
Contingency-shaped Behaviour
Shaped by consequences; more sensitive to contingency changes
15 of 16
Temporal Discounting
The value of a consequence decreases as the delay to the consequence increases
