PS288 Final: Final exam
Document Summary
Contingencies: the abcs of behaviour: contingencies of reinforcement: The relationships between behaviours and the environmental events that influence behaviour. Antecedents (a): stimuli, settings, and contexts that occur before behaviour: behaviours (b): the acts themselves, consequences (c): events that follow behaviour. Alter the effectiveness of consequences in the environment. Influence the frequency of behaviours: prompts: specific antecedents that directly facilitate performance of behavior can demonstrate what to do, how to do it, and when to do it. Fading: gradual removal of prompts as training progresses. High & low probability requests: discriminative stimuli and stimulus control: Differential reinforcement: reinforcing a response in the presence of one stimulus or situation and not reinforcing the same response in the presence of another stimulus or situation. Discriminative stimulus: a stimulus whose presence has been associated with reinforcement. Stimulus control: when responses are differentially controlled by antecedent stimuli. When the individual doesn"t have the target behaviour in their repertoire.
