Document Summary

Psyc 338 - unit 3: key vocabulary alternative: behaviour that differs in form from target behaviour & can occur concurrently continuous schedule: all instances of target behaviour produce reinforcer. Dra: no instance of target behaviour produce reinforcer: instead, alternative behaviour produces reinforcer. Dri schedule: no instances of target behaviour produce reinforcer: instead, incompatible behaviour produces reinforcer. Dro schedule: target behaviour occurring at zero rate over set time produces reinforcer extinction & inactivity: in shaping, 2 problems with too infrequent delivery of reinforcers. Fd schedule: continuous occurrence of target behaviour for xed duration produces reinforcer. Fi schedule: rst instance of target behaviour after xed interval produces reinforcer. Vd schedule: continuous occurrence of target behaviour for variable duration produces reinforcer. Vi schedule: rst instance of target behaviour after variable interval produces reinforcer. Vr schedule: variable number of instances of target behaviour produce reinforcer. Sd: antecedent stimulus in whose presence reinforcement or punishment of a behaviour is more likely than in its absence.
