22
Q

Some property of responding is gradually changed by differentially reinforcing successive approximations to target behavior

A

Shaping

23
Q

Components of Shaping

A

Reinforcement and Extinction

24
Q

This shaping component increases response variability allowing novel response form to contact reinforcement

A

Extinction

25
Q

Ways to increase response diversity

A

Extinction

Lag reinforcement schedules

26
Q

Number of responses separating current response from an earlier one like it

A

Lag

27
Q

Current response is reinforced if it differs from the last preceding responses along the specified dimension

A

Lag reinforcement schedule

28
Q

Reinforcing only unprompted correct responses lead to

A

infrequent reinforcers

29
Q

Reinforcing physically guided responses lead to

A

risk of strengthening behavior that will not generalize beyond the learning setting

30
Q

Ultimate goal of prompting

A

promote independent responding

31
Q

Naturally related to the responses that produce it

A

Intrinsic reward

32
Q

Arbitrarily related to the responses that produce it

A

Extrinsic reward

33
Q

Sr+ contingencies (extrinsic rewards) lead to decrements in enjoyment (intrinsic rewards) and thus result in decreases in engagement

A

Overjustification Theory

34
Q

What accounts for lessened intrinsic motivation

A

Contrast Effects

Learned Helplessness Phenomena

35
Q

Changes in rate of Sr+ under one condition can produce an opposite change in rate of responding in another condition

A

Contrast Effects

36
Q

In performance-independent reward, “it doesn’t matter how well I do”

A

Learner Helplessness Phenomena

37
Q

A prediction conducted under very low effort requirements often with simplistic responses and predictions do not necessarily guarantee utility of stimulus in actual training or treatment

A

Stimulus Preference Assessments (SPA)

38
Q

General experimental arrangements for Sr+ assessments

A

Single Operant
Concurrent Schedule
Progressive Ratio
Demand Curves

39
Q

Three General Categories of SPAs

A

Indirect Preference Assessment
Naturalistic (in-vivo) direct observation
Direct Preference Assessment

40
Q

Direct Preference Assessment Methods

A

Single Item/ Approach Method
Paired-Stimulus Preference Assessment
Multiple-Stimulus Preference Assessment
Duration Based Preference Assessment

41
Q

AKA single-stimulus assessment; place one item in front of the person; measure whether or not they approach the item; hierarchy based on approaches/ trials

A

Single Item/ Approach Method

42
Q

AKA forced choice PA; stimuli presented in pairs

A

Paired-Stimulus Preference Assessment

43
Q

Present all items in the array spontaneously

A

Multiple-Stimulus Preference Assessment

44
Q

Formula for number of trials in Paired-stimulus PA

A

Number of trials= n(n-1)/2, where n is total number of stimuli included

45
Q

Variations of Multiple Stimulus PA

A

MSW

MSWO

46
Q

Items are presented to the individual and the proportion of time spent engaging with the items is recorded

A

Duration-based Preference Assessment

47
Q

Variations of Duration-based PA

A

Free operant/ multiple item
Single item presentation
Competing Stimulus Preference Assessment

48
Q

Duration-based assessment used to determine the extent to which stimuli displace problem behavior

A

Competing Stimulus Preference Assessment

49
Q

Stimulus Preference Assessment for Individuals with Profound Disabilities

A

Microswitches

Indices of happiness

50

51
Q

Ways to Eliminate Position Bias

A

Quality Training

Magnitude Training
