B04 Define & Provide Examples of Positive and Negative Reinforcement Contingencies Part 4 Flashcards
If Response A is more probable than Response B, restricting access to Response A makes the opportunity to engage in that response an effective reinforcer for Response B. Restricting access to Response B will
Make the opportunity to engage in Response B an effective reinforcer for Response A
According to the response deprivation hypothesis, the behavior used to reinforce another behavior must be
Almost any behavior that already exists in the individual’s repertoire
The Premack principle maintains that a
High frequency behavior can be used to reinforce a low frequency behavior
According to the response-deprivation hypothesis, restricting access to academic tasks and then providing opportunities to perform academic tasks contingent on free play will cause
Free play to occur at higher rates than in baseline
According to the response-deprivation hypothesis, if access to one of a pair of behaviors is restricted below free operant levels, a learner will
Work to regain access to that activity
Restricting access to low-probability behavior such that it occurs at a lower rate than in baseline causes the low-probability behavior to
Function as a reinforcer when made contingent on other behavior.
The ability to reinforce low-probability behavior with the opportunity to engage in high-probability, as described by the Premack principle, requires manipulating the high-probability response so that it
Occurs at a lower ratio of high-to-low probability than it did in the baseline condition
Restricting access to low-probability behavior such that it occurs at a lower rate than in baseline causes the low-probability behavior to
All the above:
Function as reinforcement when made contingent on other behavior.
Function as reinforcement when made contingent on high-probability behavior.
Function as reinforcement for other low-probability behavior.
When using the Premack principle, the reinforcement effect will only occur when the
Condition of response deprivation of the high probability behavior is present in the contingency
Which is likely to be an effective application of the Premack principle?
Study for the certification exam, then eat ice cream
Which of the following are most likely to be used in an application of the Premack principle?
Playing a video game
Which is an application of the Premack principle?
Complete homework, then go outside to play
Providing a learner the opportunity to engage in a high probability behavior at a higher ratio to the low probability behavior than it occurs in baseline as reinforcement for engagement in low-probability behavior is likely to
Has no effect on the low probability behavior
