The movement of an organism or its parts in a frame of reference provided by the various external objects or fields 

Question 3

skinners definition of behavior

Answer 3

The movement of an organism or its parts in a frame of reference provided by the various external objects or fields 

Question 4

Johnson and Pennypacker definition of behavior

Answer 4

is the portion of any organisms interaction with its environment that involves movement of some part of the organism 

Question 5

organisms interaction with its environment 

Answer 5

avoids implying that behavior is a possession of the organism and highlights the requirement for interactive condition 

Question 6

Movement of some part of the organism

Answer 6

 to the observer, a response must affect the environment. It must have an effect upon the observer or upon the instrument, which intern can affect an observer. 

Question 7

response

Answer 7

is an action of an organisms effector and a effector is an organ at the end of the nerve fiber that is special for alternating its environment, mechanically, chemically or in terms of other energy changes 

Question 8

Answer 8

Is not

is not behavior

Question 10

is not behavior

Question 11

response topography refers to the blank form of the behavior

Answer 11

physical

Question 12

A response class is a group of responses with the same —————

Answer 12

Function

Question 13

definition of environment

Answer 13

refers to the full set of physical circumstances in which the organism exists.

Question 14

Repertoire is

Answer 14

all of the behaviors, a person can do

Question 15

definition definition of a stimulus

Answer 15

it’s an energy change that affects an organism through its receptor cells

Question 16

stimulus class

Answer 16

refers to any group of stimuli sharing a predetermined set of common elements in one or more of these dimensions

Question 17

formal dimension of stim

Answer 17

size color, intensity, weight, and spatial position relative to other objects non-social or socially mediated

Question 18

formal dimension of stim

Answer 18

size color, intensity, weight, and spatial position relative to other objects non-social or socially mediated

Question 19

temporal Loki of stimuli

Answer 19

an antecedent refers to environmental conditions of stimulus changes that exist or occur prior to behavior of interest

Question 20

temporal Loki of stimuli

Answer 20

includes consequences is a stimulus change to the effects of behavior of interest

Question 21

Antecedent and consequence stimuli can be socially mediated contingency

Answer 21

or non-socially mediated contingency

Question 22

stimulus change can have one or both of two kinds of basic functions or effects on behavior number one

Answer 22

and immediate but temporary effect of increasing or decreasing the frequency of the behavior

Question 23

A stimulus change can have one or both kinds of basic functions effects on behavior adult number two

Answer 23

A delayed but relatively permanent effect in terms of frequency of the type of behavior in the future

Question 24

A reflex is provides the organism with a set of built-in responses to specific stimuli unconditioned reflexes include

Answer 24

I blink, sneezing, coughing, vomiting, hand or foot withdrawal, dilation of blood vessels and skeletal muscles, pupil dilation

Question 25

The response component of the stimulus response reflex is called. Respondent behavior responded behavior.

Answer 25

behavior that is listed by antecedent stimuli for example, bright light in the eyes well illicit pupil contraction

Question 26

In respondent behavior, if the eliciting stimulus is presented repeatedly over a short span of time, the strength of magnitude of the response will diminish, and some cases the response may not occur at all

Answer 26

call this is called habituation

Question 27

respondent conditioning

Answer 27

formally neutral stimuli can acquire the ability to illicit respondent through a learning process

Question 28

respondent extinction

Answer 28

condition stimulus presented in absence of the unconditioned stimulus

Question 29

Operant behavior is

Answer 29

behavior determined primarily by its history of consequences

Question 30

operant conditioning definition refers to the process and selective effects of ——— on behavior

Answer 30

consequences

Question 31

consequences affect only future

Answer 31

Behavior

Question 32

it is the temporal relation between behavior and consequence that is functional not the top of graphical or logical one

Question 33

operant conditioning does not require a persons-——

Answer 33

Awareness

Question 34

when a response is followed by a stimulus change that results in similar responses occurring more often ————— has taken place

Answer 34

Reinforcement

Question 35

A stimulus change that can increase future occurrences of behavior without prior pairing with any other form of reinforcement is called and

Answer 35

Unconditioned reinforcer

Question 36

examples of unconditioned reinforcers

Answer 36

Food, water, sexual stimulation

Question 37

An unconditioned punisher

Answer 37

is a stimulus change that can decrease the future occurrence of any behavior that proceeds it without prior pairing with any other form of punishment

Question 38

Events that function as unconditioned, reinforcers and punishers are the products of the natural evolution of the species
