10. The Evolutionary Context Of Operant Behavior
behavior selected by the environment

11. operant conditioning
Mode of learning in which the frequency of responding is influenced by the consequences that are contingent upon a response
Definition:
Examples:
bar-pressing in rats, reinforced by food
smiling in a child, reinforced by parental approval

Additional Behavioral Techniques

14. Reinforcement: Increasing the Rate of Responding
positive reinforcer
base rate
primary reinforcer
secondary reinforcer
negative reinforcer

15. Punishment and Extinction: Decreasing the Rate of Responding
punishment: a stimulus contingent upon a response and that has the effect of decreasing the rate of responding
extinction: reduction in the rate of responding when reinforcement ends

16. Additional Behavioral Techniques
shaping: reinforcement of successive approximations of behavior
chaining: one response produces or alters some of the variables that control another response
discrimination learning: learning to respond differentially, depending on environmental stimuli
generalization: responding to stimuli that are similar to, but not identical to, the stimuli present during training

17. Schedules of Reinforcement

a procedure or environment in which no reinforcements are given in an effort to extinguish unwanted behavior
Example:
removal of a disruptive child from a school class, to improve behavior
