premack principle (David Premack, 1959) Correct Answer: a principle that states that making the opportunity to engage in a high-probability behavior (i.e., something you are more likely to do) CONTINGENT upon the occurrence of low-probability behavior (i.e., something you are less likely to do) will function as a reinforcer for the low-probability behavior
First _________, Then _____________ Correct Answer: The Premack Principle is usually stated as ___________________.
response deprivation hypothesis (RDH) Correct Answer: created by Timberlake and Allison, 1974; built on the Premack principle; a model for predicting whether contingent access to 1 behavior will function as reinforcement for engaging in another behavior based on whether access to the contingent behavior represents a restriction of the activity compared to baseline; restricting access to the behavior creates deprivation that serves as an EO, which makes the restricted behavior a very strong form of reinforcement
imitation Correct Answer: functionally defined by 4 behavior-environment relations:
formal similarity, model, immediacy, and controlled relation
(F MIC)
formal similarity Correct Answer: the model and the behavior must physically look alike and be in the same sense mode
model Correct Answer: the stimulus that is presented in an effort to evoke the imitative behavior - any physical movement may function as a ___________ for imitation; it is the stimulus that evokes the imitation behavior
immediacy Correct Answer: an imitative behavior must immediately follow the model (within a few seconds); it is CRITICAL, or the behavior is not considered to be imitation; "Imitation" may also occur at later times and in the context of everyday life situations, but technically, this is NOT true imitation
controlled relation Correct Answer: the model must be the controlling variable for the imitative behavior (i.e., be the Sd for the imitative behavior); best evidenced when the model is NOVEL and still evokes an imitation (sometimes called, "generalized imitation")
