Mentoring 2 Terms

Question 1

Rule-Governed Behavior

Answer 1

A verbal statement of a specified ABC contingency that indirectly controls a temporally distant or remote consequence.

Question 2

Contingency-Shaped Behavior

Answer 2

A behavior that is controlled by directly coming in contact with its consequences (reinforcing/punishing)

Question 3

Extinction (operant)

Answer 3

No longer reinforcing a previously reinforced behavior (responses no longer produce reinforcement)

Question 4

Extinction (Respondent)

Answer 4

Repeated presentation of a CS in the absence of the US; the CS gradually loses its ability to elicit the CR until the conditioned reflex no longer appears in the individual’s repertoire.

Question 5

Generalization

Answer 5

When a previously taught behavior occurs beyond the initial training conditions (across behavior, time, subjects & settings)

Question 6

Multiple Exemplar Training

Answer 6

Providing learner with practice with a variety of stimulus conditions, response variations and response topographies to ensure stimulus control.

Question 7

General Case Analysis

Answer 7

Systematically selecting teaching examples that represent the full range of stimulus variations and response requirements in the generalization setting.

Question 8

Program Common Stimuli

Answer 8

Including typical features of the generalization setting into the instructional setting

Question 9

Teach Loosely

Answer 9

Randomly vary non-critical aspects of the instructional setting within and across teaching sessions

Question 10

Mediate Generalization

Answer 10

Arrange for some thing or person to act as a medium that ensures the transfer of the target behavior from the instructional setting to the generalization setting.
(Contrived mediating stimulus)

Question 11

Train to Generalize

Answer 11

Reinforce response variability & Instruct Learner to Generalize

Question 12

Discrimination

Answer 12

Discriminative Stimulus-
Discriminated Operant-
(A-B-C)

Question 13

Respondent Conditioning

Answer 13

S-S pairing procedure (Click & Air Puff)
NS + US → UR (eye blink)
NS + US → UR (eye blink)
NS→CR (eye blink)

Question 14

Respondent Extinction

Answer 14

Presenting the CS w/o the US (repeatedly) will weaken and cease the CR

Question 15

Operant Conditioning

Answer 15

The basic process by which operant learning occurs; consequences (stimulus changes immediately following responses) result in and increased (reinforcement) or decreased (punishment) frequency of the same type of behavior under similar motivational and environmental conditions in the future. (A-B-C)

Question 16

Operant Extinction

Answer 16

No longer R+ a previously R+ behavior

Question 17

Mand

Answer 17

A verbal operant for which the form of the response is under the functional control of motivating operations (MO’s) and specific R+. (Demand)

Question 18

Tact

Answer 18

A verbal operant under the functional control of a nonverbal discriminative stimulus, and it produces generalized condition (Label)

Question 19

Echoic

Answer 19

Operant controlled by a verbal discriminative stimulus that has point-to-point (correspondence and formal similarity (both words, sounds, signs) with the response

Question 20

Interverbal

Answer 20

Occurs when a verbal discriminative stimulus evokes a verbal response that does not have point-to-point correspondence with the verbal stimuli.

Question 21

Textual

Answer 21

Operant has point-to-point correspondence, but not formal similarity, between the stimulus and the response product (reading a text and saying it aloud)

Question 22

Transcription

Answer 22

Consists of writing and spelling words that are spoken.

Question 23

Single Subject Designs

Answer 23

AB, ABA/BAB (withdrawal), ABAB (reversal), MBSL, Changing Criterion, Combined, Alternating Tx

Question 24

Reliability

Answer 24

Consistency of a Measure

Question 25

Validity

Answer 25

Accuracy of a Measure (how well a measure actually measures what it is intended to measure)
Needs to be reliable to be valid

Question 26

FA

Answer 26

Systematic manipulation of antecedents and consequences to identify the maintaining variable for a given behavior
