Document Summary
2. shaping: reinforce successive approximations of nal response - ex. training tiger to jump through re hoop chaining: developing a sequence of responses that comprise one behaviour (2 kinds: backward & forward chaining) = an increase in future likelihood of a response following the presentation of a positive reinforcer. = increase in future likelihood of response based on the removal of an aversive event. Escape: individual comes into contact w/ aversive event & beh. eliminates event rein. by termination of aversive event. Avoidance: indvl beh. prevents/postpones contact w/ an aversive event. Ex. wearing coat to avoid a chill. Contingencies- the abcs of behaviour: are the relationship between behaviours and the environmental events that in uence behaviour. Reinforcement: leads to increase in future likelihood of response. Positive = increase in future likelihood of response followed by a presentation of favourable consequence. Negative = increase in response followed by removal of aversive event.
