BEHV 101 Week 8

Question 1

Stimulus Control

Answer 1

Rate, latency, duration or amplitude of a response is altered in the presence of antecedent stimulus

Question 2

Antecedent Stimulus Class

Answer 2

Set of stimuli that share common relationship

Question 3

Stimulus Generalization

Answer 3

Behavior occurs in the presence of novel stimulus

Question 4

Many stimuli, one behavior

Answer 4

Stimulus Generalization

Question 5

Stimulus Discrimination Training

Answer 5

One behavior, 2 antecedent stimulus conditions

Question 6

Feature Stimulus Class

Answer 6

Stimuli share common physical forms

Question 7

Arbitrary Stimulus Class Concept

Answer 7

Stimuli do NOT share common stimulus feature

Question 8

Overshadowing

Answer 8

The presence of one stimulus interferes with the acquisition of stimulus control by another stimulus

Question 9

Conditional Discrimination

Answer 9

Discrimination between comparison stimuli is dependent on sample stimulus present on each trial

Question 10

Constant Time Delay

Answer 10

Procedure for transferring stimulus control from contrived response prompts to naturally existing stimuli

Question 11

Errorless Learning

Answer 11

Techniques for gradually transferring stimulus control with a minimum of errors

Question 12

Least-To-Most Response Prompts

Answer 12

Technique for transferring stimulus control that gives opportunity to perform the response with least amount of assistance each trial

Question 13

Most-To-Least Response Prompts

Answer 13

Technique for transferring stimulus control where practitioner guides the learner through the entire sequence gradually reducing assistance in successive trials

Question 14

Matching-To-Sample

Answer 14

Discrete trial procedure for investigating conditional relations and stimulus equivalence

Question 15

Overselective Stimulus Control

Answer 15

Range of SDs for response is extremely limited;
Often interferes with learning

Question 16

Progressive Time Delay

Answer 16

Procedure for transferring stimulus control that starts with simultaneous presentation of the natural stimulus and the response prompt

Question 17

Response Prompts

Answer 17

Operate directly on the response to cue a correct response

Question 18

Stimulus Blocking

Answer 18

Competing stimulus blocks the evocative function of a stimulus that has acquired stimulus control

Question 19

Stimulus Discrimination

Answer 19

When SD signals reinforcement,
S-Delta signals no reinforcement,
Then responses will occur more with SD

Question 20

Stimulus Fading

Answer 20

Involves highlighting a physical dimension of a stimulus to increase likelihood of correct response
You then gradually diminish the highlighted dimension

Question 21

Stimulus Generalization Gradient

Answer 21

Graphic depiction of the extent of generalized behavior

Question 22

Stimulus Prompts

Answer 22

Operate directly on the antecedent task stimuli to cue a response in conjunction with the critical SD

Question 23

Time Delay

Answer 23

Begins with simultaneous presentation of the natural stimulus and the response prompt
