Question 1

Operant vs. Respondent Conditioning

Answer 1

Similar: Learning processes in which responses are conditioned
Different: Respondent conditioning occurs when a neutral stimulus is repeatedly paired with an unconditioned stimulus; Operant conditioning occurs when a stimulus change following a response alters future responses

Question 2

Respondent Conditioning Contingency

Answer 2

US --> UR
NS X UR
US + NS --> UR
(repeated)
NS = CS
CS --> CR

Question 3

Operant Conditioning Contingency

Answer 3

SD –> R –> SR (increase in behavior)

SD –> R –> SP (decrease in behavior)

Question 4

Differential Reinforcement

Answer 4

Reinforcing only those responses within a response class that meet a specific criterion and placing all other responses in the class on extinction

Question 5

DRA

Answer 5

A procedure in which reinforcement is delivered for a behavior that serves as a desirable alternative to the behavior targeted for reduction and withheld following instances of the problem behavior

Question 6

DRI

Answer 6

A procedure in which reinforcement is delivered for a behavior that cannot occur at the same time as the undesirable behavior and withheld following instances of the undesirable behavior

Question 7

DRO

Answer 7

A procedure in which reinforcement is delivered for any behavior other than a target behavior that is being extinguished

Question 8

DRL

Answer 8

A procedure in which reinforcement is delivered contingent on the rate of a target behavior occurring at or below a specified number of instances

Question 9

DRH

Answer 9

A procedure in which reinforcement is delivered contingent on the rate of a target behavior occurring at or above a specified number of instances

Question 10

Antecedent Intervention

Answer 10

A behavior change strategy that is implemented prior to and independent of the target behavior occurring

Question 11

Types of Antecedent Interventions

Answer 11

NCR, High probability request sequences, FCT, task variation, pace of instruction, pre session pairing

Question 12

Non-Contingent Reinforcement

Answer 12

An antecedent intervention in which a reinforcer is delivered on a fixed/variable schedule independent of target behavior occurring

Question 13

High-P Request Sequence

Answer 13

An antecedent intervention in which a person presents a series of easy-to-follow requests with which the learner has a history of compliance in a sequence and then finishes with target request

Question 14

Functional Communication Training

Answer 14

An antecedent intervention in which an appropriate communicative behavior is taught to replace an undesirable behavior and serves the same function

Question 15

Stimulus Control

Answer 15

When a behavior occurs more in the presence of the SD than in its absence

Question 16

Discrimination

Answer 16

Achieved when SD signals reinforcers are available and S delta signals no reinforcers available

Question 17

Generalization

Answer 17

The extent other stimuli aside from SD acquire stimulus control over behavior

Question 18

Stimulus Control in Relation to Discrimination and Generalization

Answer 18

Discrimination = tight stimulus control
Generalization = loose stimulus control
