Unconditioned Reinforcer - Answers A stimulus, such as food, water, shelter or clothing that is
reinforcing in the absence of any prior learning history.
Extinction - Answers A procedure by which a behavior that was previously reinforced no longer receives
reinforcement and the probability of the behavior decreases.
Deprivation - Answers The absence or reduction of a reinforced for a period of time. The deprivation is
an establishing operation that increases the effectiveness of the reinforcer.
Satiation - Answers Repeated presentation of a reinforcer weakens its effectiveness and for this reason
the rate of responses declines.
Contingency - Answers Refers to dependent and/or temporal relations between operant behaviors and
its controlling variables.
Example: If Kora follows 10 directions, receiving tokens for each direction, she will receive a break from
work. The break from work is contingent upon her following 10 directions.
Motivating Operation (MO) - Answers An environmental variable that alters the reinforcing effectiveness
of some stimulus, object, or event.
