Document Summary
01/12/2016 (cid:1) contingencies: the abcs of behaviour contingencies of reinforcement o the relationship between behaviours and the environmental events that influence behaviour. Stimuli, settings, and context that occur before behaviour: behaviour. When responses are differentially controlled by antecedent (cid:1) behaviours stimuli two procedures in developing target behaviour o shaping. Negative reinforcement: punishing button on alarm clock no longer turns it off. + punishment: rat not longer get shock for running in wheel. Refers to antecedents, behaviour, and consequences and is cryptic way to remember that a contingency of reinforcement consists of the relations among these three domains. An antecedent variable or influence that temporarily decreases the effectiveness of some other event of consequence and the likelihood of behaviour leading to those events (cid:1) The responses can be developed in a forward or backward direction in which one response is added to the other until the entire sequence is learned. Responding differently in tge presence of different cues of antecedent events.
