Food aroma
Tom once got reprimaned by his mother after he used his mom’s credit car
- demonstrates operant conditioning.
- does not demonstrate any type of conditioning.
- does not show a change in response.
- demonstrates respondent conditioning.
demonstrates operant conditioning
Respondent behavior _______________________.
- all are correct
- is elicited by an antecedent stimulus.
- is shaped by a stimulus.
- is elicited by a consequence.
is elicited by an antecedent stimulus.
Respondent conditioning is most related to phyogeny or ontogeny?
ontogeny
When a stimulus acquired ability to elicit a response, this stimulus is ________________ , and the elicited response is called ___________.
conditioned stimulus (CS), conditioned response (CR)
What demonstrates the stimulus-stimulus pairing in respondent conditioning?
unconditioned stimulus - neutral stimulus
True or False: operant conditioning is a result of individual learning history.
true
If a stimulus cannot elicit a resonse, this stimulus is ___________.
neutral
Which of the following statement is correct?
Statement 1: A stimulus must be perceived by an organism before it can influence its behavior.
Statement 2: Stimuli that affect the responses in the same way belong to the same stimulus class even if they look different.
Both statements are correct.
Operant or Respondent conditioning?
Tom accidentally bumped his foot into the wall while walking on the street. As a result, Tom feels pain on his foot whenever he walks the same street.
Respondent
Reinforcement or punishment?
Tom is afraid of dog. When he was a child, he was bitten by a feral dog when he approached it. After that, whenever he sees a stray dog on the street, he would immediately move away.
punishment
Which of the below statement is correct:
Statement 1: For a reinforcer to increase a response, an individual must understand that the reinforcer is for the response.
Statement 2: When a reinforcer was used for a response, but the frequency of the target response did not increase. Then, the individual must be told about the function of the reinforcer in order for it to be effective.
Neither
When a therapist effectively used praise as a reinforcer to increase oral reading fluency, can the therapist use the same praise as a reinforcer when teaching mathematics?
Maybe. The therapist should test the effects of praise to assess if it can increase target response first.
Which of the folowing statement is correct?
Statement 1: Negative reinforcement contingencies require motivation.
Statement 2: The effect of negative reinforcement contingencies is dependent on whether removal of the aversive stimulus can be effectively removed.
Both statements are correct.
True or false: If a consequence can effectively increase the preceding response in one context, we can predict that this consequence should continue to function as a reinforcer if the context does not change
True
Supposedly a child’s problem behavior is maintained by food items that his mom used to give him food to calm him down in the case of problem behavior, his mom has now changed strategy that she will no longer give him food. In addition, she plans to reprimand her child in the case of problem behavior. What would the actual function of the reprimand be in this case?
There is not enough information.
James was arrested for drunk driving, and he spent a night in jail. When he was drinking next time, he started calling taxis to drive him back. In this scenario, spending a night in jail was _______________.
a negative punisher
True or false: FI schedule produces in a scalloped response pattern. VI schedule produces slow and steady responding.
True
Which of the following assessment would include a concurrent schedule?
- reinforcer assessment
- any of the assessments on response allocation under two or more independent schedules.
- preference assessment
all of the above
Which schedule (VI, FR, VR, FI) is best demonstrated?
Sometimes the teacher waits for the first request after 1 hour has elapsed to deliver a reinforcer. Other times, she waits for the first request after 30 minutes to deliver a reinforcer.
variable interval
A teacher delivers a reinforcer if the target response does not occur within the specified duration. If the response is observed, the teacher resets the timer. Which DR schedule is this?
DRO
True or false: Through repeatedly unpairing of an unconditioned punisher and a conditioned punisher, the conditioned punisher will eventually lose the effectiveness.
True
True or false: Neither generalized conditioned punishers or unconditioned punishers require stimulus-stimulus pairing to function as punishers.
False
Establishing effect refers to ____________; abolishing effect refers to _____________.
increase in reinforcer value; decrease in reinforcer value.
The phenomenon in which behavior change was due to the correlation between presenting or removing an antecedent stimulus and the consequences that the behavior produces is __________.
* punishment
* stimulus control
* reinforcement
* extinction
stimulus control
What are the two effects of the MO?
behavior-altering and value-altering effects
Establishing or abolishing operation?
Tom noticed that his fuel gauge showed low gas level for his car. At the same time, he saw a sign for a gas station, so he drove towards the gas station. Low gas level in relation to driving towards the gas station is ___________.
establishing operation
True or false:
A CMO-S:
* has behavior-altering effect.
* acquires its effects through temporal proximity with another MO.
* acquires effects through pairing with another MO.
True
What is the difference between conditioned MOs and unconditioned MOs?
conditioned MOs are learned
Read the scenario and find the SD
Andres was hungry while driving. He saw a McDonald’s sign, drove there, and bought a burger.
McDonald’s sign
Reflexivity, symmetry, or transitivity?
Selecting a picture of a computer upon seeing the word “computer” after being taught to select the word “computer” upon seeing the picture of the computer
symmetry
Reflexivity, symmetry, or transitivity?
A child is learning the concept of animals. She was taught that a dog goes with a cat, and a cat goes with a tiger, and a tiger goes with a sheep. Without teaching, she was able to select a dog upon seeing a sheep and a tiger upon seeing a dog.
transitivity
What verbal operant is taught when a learner is unable to, or showing a skill deficit in requesting for a stimulus?
mand intervention
What generalization consists of an individual responding to a stimulus in the same way they typically would to a stimulus containing the same, or a relevant feature?
response generalization
