B04 Define & Provide Examples of Positive and Negative Reinforcement Contingencies Part 1 Flashcards
A teacher takes away a point each time a student speaks out in class. This is a/an
Operant contingency
A dependent relationship between two or more stimuli is
A respondent contingency
A dependent relationship between two or more stimuli is
All the above
The magnitude of a reinforcer pertains to
The number of reinforcers per unit time (reinforcer rate)
To enhance the performance of learners with limited behavioral repertoires, the target behavior should
Produce direct access to the reinforcer
An individual with an intellectual disability engages in escape-maintained self-injury. There is a plan to teach him an appropriate escape behavior of walking to a bulletin board, selecting an object that represents ‘break’, returning to the work station with it, then taking a break. You
Maintain that it might not work due to the response effort required
The magnitude of a reinforcer pertains to
The number of reinforcers per unit time (reinforcer rate)
An M&M follows the response “Ball”, in the presence of the work “ball”. This is a/an
Operant contingency
Generalized reinforcers are minimally affected by satiation, and therefore can be delivered
Frequently without compromising their potency
A dependent relationship between a response class and one or more stimulus classes, or between two or more stimuli is
A contingency
The criterion for reinforcement should be set
So that the individual’s initial responses contact reinforcement
When two or more events are functionally related to each other, this is referred to as
A contingency
The preference for a reinforcer and the amount of a reinforcer are referred to as the reinforcer’s
Quality and magnitude
A dependent relationship between a response class and one or more stimulus classes is
A contingency
The magnitude of a reinforcer pertains to
The intensity of the reinforcer
Superstitious behavior is established and maintained by
A contiguous relationship between a behavior and reinforcing events that follow its occurrence but occur independent of the behavior
To maintain potent EOs for reinforcers, you may
Vary the properties of the reinforcer
When two or more events occur simultaneously or very close in time, this is referred to as
Contiguity
A respondent contingency includes
The probability of a particular stimulus given another stimulus
The magnitude of a reinforcer pertains to
The duration of time for access to the reinforcer
To maintain potent EOs for reinforcers, you may
Use generalized reinforcers
The quality of a reinforcer
Is independent of the magnitude of a reinforcer
The “quality” of a reinforcer refers to
The level of individual preference for the reinforcer
