BEHV 101 Week 4

Question 1

Escape Contingency

Answer 1

Response terminates an ongoing stimulus

Question 2

Avoidance Contingency

Answer 2

Response prevents/postpones the presentation of a stimulus

Question 3

Discriminated Avoidance

Answer 3

Responding in presence of a signal prevents aversive stimulus onset

Question 4

Unconditioned Negative Reinforcer

Answer 4

Stimulus that functions as negative reinforcer with no prior learning

Question 5

Conditioned Negative Reinforcer

Answer 5

Previously neutral stimulus that functions as negative reinforcer because of learning history

Question 6

Behavioral Contrast

Answer 6

Behavior changes if there’s difference in location (e.g., home versus school), people (e.g., parents versus teachers), or both

Question 7

Free-Operant Avoidance

Answer 7

Responding any time prevents stimulus onset

Question 8

Schedule of Reinforcement

Answer 8

Rule that describes contingency of reinforcement

Question 9

FR1

Answer 9

Continuous reinforcement schedule

Question 10

Continuous Reinforcement (CRF)

Answer 10

Each occurrence of behavior is reinforced

Question 11

Intermittent Reinforcement (INT)

Answer 11

Some, but not all, occurrences of behavior are reinforced

Question 12

Ratio Schedules

Answer 12

Reinforcement for number of responses emitted

Question 13

Interval Schedules

Answer 13

Reinforcement delivered for first response after amount of time

Question 14

Fixed Ratio (FR)

Answer 14

Reinforcement after a fixed number of responses

Question 15

Post-Reinforcement Pause

Answer 15

No responding for a period following reinforcement

Question 16

Schedule with high rate of reinforcement and post-reinforcement pause

Answer 16

Pattern of Responding ➡️ Fixed Ratio (FR)

Question 17

Variable Ratio (VR)

Answer 17

Reinforcement after a variable number of responses

Question 18

Schedule of reinforcement that produces consistent quick steady rates of responding

Answer 18

Pattern of Responding ➡️ Variable Ratio (VR)

Question 19

Fixed Interval (FI)

Answer 19

Reinforcement for first response following a fixed duration of time

Question 20

Schedule that produces scallop effect

Answer 20

Pattern of Responding ➡️ Fixed Interval (FI)

Question 21

Variable Interval (VI)

Answer 21

First response that occurs after variable amount of time elapsed produces reinforcement

Question 22

Schedule that produces constant but generally low rates of responding

Answer 22

Pattern of Responding ➡️ Variable Interval (VI)

Question 23

Limited Hold

Answer 23

Reinforcement available for finite amount of time following the elapse of the FI or VI interval

Question 24

Schedule Thinning

Answer 24

Making availability of reinforcement less over time

Question 25

Ratio Strain

Answer 25

Ratio too large so response level cannot maintain

Question 26

Interresponse Time

Answer 26

Time between two responses

Question 27

Differential Reinforcement of High Rates (DRH)

Answer 27

Reinforcement for responses higher than criterion

Question 28

Differential Reinforcement of Low Rates (DRL)

Answer 28

Reinforcement for responses lower than criterion

Question 29

Differential Reinforcement of Diminishing Rates (DRD)

Answer 29

Reinforcement for responses that decrease over time

Question 30

Lag Schedule

Answer 30

Reinforcement for response variability

Question 31

Progressive Schedules of Reinforcement

Answer 31

Reinforcement opportunities successively thinned independent of behavior

Question 32

Progressive-Ratio Schedule of Reinforcement

Answer 32

Variation of FR; Increases ratio requirements incrementally within the session

Question 33

Compound Schedule

Answer 33

Two or more basic schedules combined into one schedule

Question 34

Concurrent Schedule

Answer 34

Two or more schedules operate simultaneously but independently, each for a different response

Question 35

Matching Law

Answer 35

Response allocation to choices available on concurrent schedule

Question 36

Multiple Schedule

Answer 36

Two or more schedules presented in alternating sequence; SD tied to each schedule

Question 37

Chained Schedule

Answer 37

Similar to a multiple schedule, but basic schedules always occur in the same sequence; SD tied to each schedule

Question 38

Mixed Schedule

Answer 38

Two or more schedules presented in alternating sequence; no SD

Question 39

Tandem Schedule

Answer 39

Similar to a multiple schedule, but basic schedules always occur in the same sequence; no SD

Question 40

Alternative Schedule

Answer 40

Reinforcement delivered when EITHER requirements of ratio or interval schedule is met regardless of which occurs first

Question 41

Conjunctive Schedule

Answer 41

Reinforcement delivered when BOTH requirements of a ratio and interval schedule are met

Question 42

Adjunctive Behavior

Answer 42

Schedule-induced behavior
