Answer 5

first occurrences of toy play

Question 6

The minimum time required for toy play was

5s
none of the above
10s
15s

Answer 6

5s

Question 7

Baseline ran for (time limit):

60s of no toy play
15 min without appropriate toy play
10-min of toy play

Answer 7

60s of no toy play

Question 8

During baseline, praise was delivered

noncontingently every 15s
FI-15s for appropriate sitting
FI-30s for appropriate play

Answer 8

FI-15s for appropriate sitting

Question 9

What was trained following baseline?

-horizontal movements of airplane
vertical movements of airplane
walking the toy

Answer 9

horizontal movements of airplane
walking the toy

Question 10

During probes

trained responses were extinguished
no praise was given for prompted responses
all correct/prompted responses were reinforced
praise was given for newest topography in the response class

Answer 10

praise was given for newest topography in the response class

Question 11

When were responses were placed on extinction?

none of these
after 3 reinforcers delivered on an FI-30s schedule
after 3 incorrect responses on an FI-30s schedule
after first occurrence of trained topography during extinction session

Answer 11

after 3 reinforcers delivered on an FI-30s schedule

Question 12

The behavior plotted on the ordinate is (single best answer):

play
untrained behavior

Answer 12

untrained topographies

James’ responses to the animal
Helen’s responses to the doll
James’ responses to the airplane

Answer 14

James’ responses to the airplane

Question 15

Response variability is a(n) ________________________ parameter of behavior.

Answer 15

operant

Question 16

Response variability is said to occur under which of these conditions?

-when extinguished topographies spontaneously recur
-when untrained topographies undergo extinction
-when untrained topographies occur after trained responses have been extinguished
-when extinction and reinforcement are used to reinstate previously learned topographies

Answer 16

when untrained topographies occur after trained responses have been extinguished

Question 17

Reinforcement
Shaping
Punishment
Extinction

Answer 17

reinforcement
extinction
