Document Content and Description Below

Core Principles of ABA ✔✔The consequences that follow a behavior control whether that behavior will increase or decrease. Positive Reinforcement ✔✔A type of reinforcement in which the presen... tation of the stimulus is contingent upon the response, resulting in an increase in the future probability of that response. Negative Reinforcement ✔✔A type of reinforcement in which removal of a stimulus is contingent on a response, resulting in an increase in the future probability of that response. Positive Punishment ✔✔A type of punishment in which stimulus presentation is contingent on a response, resulting in the decrease of the future probability of that response. Negative Punishment ✔✔A type of punishment in which stimulus removal is contingent on a response, resulting in the decrease of the future probability of that response. Reinforcer ✔✔A stimulus that is either delivered or removed that will increase the likelihood of that response occurring in the future. 2 kinds: 1) Primary (or unconditioned); innately motivating, natural, unlearned. 2) Secondary (or conditioned); conditioned and learned. Punisher ✔✔A stimulus that is either delivered or removed that will decrease the likelihood of that response occurring in the future. Conditioned Reinforcer ✔✔A stimulus that initially has no reinforcing properties but through occurring simultaneously with an unconditioned or strongly conditioned reinforcer, acquires reinforcing properties.
