PSYB45H3 Study Guide - Final Guide: Goal Setting
Document Summary
Stimuli that occurs before a behaviour and exerts control over the behaviour. Rules that do not identify all 2 aspects of reinforcement: contingency-shaped vs. rule-governed. Behaviour that is dependent on its immediate consequences. Behaviour that is controlled by the statement of a rule: can function as an sd. Definition: a cue emitting the behaviour specified by the rule will lead to the reinforcer or a cue that not following the rule will lead to a punisher. Level of performance or outcome that an individual or group attempts to achieve: goal setting. Is the application of physical contact to induce an individual to go through the motions of a desired behaviour: generalized imitation. An individual, after learning to imitate a number of behaviours learns to imitate a new response on the first trial without reinforcement. Refers to the influence of a behaviour by using situations and occasions that already exert control over the behaviour: 4 overlapping categories.
