When a stimulus follows a particular response and increases the probability that the response will occur again what has occurred?

Reinforcement is defined as a consequence that follows an operant response that increase (or attempts to increase) the likelihood of that response occurring in the future.

Which of the following will increase the probability of a particular response?

Reinforcement. Reinforcement is applied to increase the chance that a particular behavior can occur within the future by delivering or removing information immediately from one behavior.

What is a stimulus that follows a response?

A reinforcer is any stimulus that increases the frequency of a behavior. • To be a reinforcer stimuli must immediately follow the response and must be perceived as contingent upon the. response. Classical conditioning (S > R) • An involuntary response (UCR) is preceded by a stimuli (UCS), or.

When a response causes more of a response is occurring?

Response generalization is said to have occurred if a procedure that increases the likelihood of a target operant response causes an increase of other responses that resemble the target response [1].
