Quiz #1

Question 1

Reinforcement

Answer 1

It is a procedure in which a stimulus is either presented or removed contingent upon a response and there is an increase in the probability of that response.

Question 2

Punishment

Answer 2

It is a procedure in which a stimulus is either presented or removed contingent upon a response and there is a decrease in the probability of that response.

Question 3

Positive Reinforcement

Answer 3

Is a procedure in which a stimulus is presented contingent upon a response and there is an increase in the probability of that response.

Question 4

Negative Reinforcement

Answer 4

It is a procedure in which a stimulus is removed contingent upon a response and there is a increase in the probability of that response.

Question 5

Negative Punishment

Answer 5

Is a procedure in which a stimulus is removed contingent upon a response and there is a decrease in the probability of that response.

Question 6

Positive Punishment

Answer 6

Is a procedure in which a stimulus is presented contingent upon a response and there is an decrease in the probability of that response.

Question 7

Reinforcer

Answer 7

Is a stimulus that when presented contingent upon a response increases the probability of that response and when removed contingent upon a response decreases the probability of that response.

Question 8

Aversive

Answer 8

Is a stimulus that when presented contingent upon a response decreases the probability of that response and when removed contingent upon a response increases the probability of that response.

Question 9

Extinction

Answer 9

Is a procedure in which a previously reinforced response is no longer reinforced and there is a decrease in the probability of the response.

Question 10

Schedule Induction “schedule induced behavior”

Answer 10

Is species specific behavior that occurs under extinction even though it may have never been reinforced in the past.

Question 11

Antecedent Stimuli

Answer 11

Set the occasion for a response to occur and be followed by a particular consequence.

Question 12

Discriminative Stimulus

Answer 12

An antecedent stimulus that sets the occasion for a response to occur and be followed by reinforcement.

Question 13

Extinction Stimulus

Answer 13

An antecedent stimulus that sets the occasion for a response to occur and be followed by extinction.

Question 14

Conditioned Aversive Stimulus

Answer 14

An antecedent stimulus that sets the occasion for a response to occur and be followed by punishment.

Question 15

1st Dimension: Applied

Answer 15

The issue being targeted would be recognized as significant by most.

Question 16

2nd Dimension: Behavioral

Answer 16

We’re actually collecting and analyzing data that focuses on the behavior of interest.

Question 17

3rd Dimension: Analytic

Answer 17

We should be able to demonstrate that the changes of the behavior that we observed were actually due to the procedure that was examined.

Question 18

4th Dimension: Technological

Answer 18

When we are able to describe the salient aspect of our procedure in terms of the interactions between the behavior and the contingency.

Question 19

5th Dimension: Conceptually Systematic

Answer 19

The procedures that we use come from the basic theories of behaviors that come from prior experiences/research.

Question 20

6th Dimension: Effective

Answer 20

The changes that we produce in the behavior are large enough to be significant.

Question 21

7th Dimension: Generality

Answer 21

We have to be able to demonstrate that these procedures can be effective around a wide variety of settings and people AND that it is sustainable and maintainable.

Question 22

Interval Schedule

Answer 22

Contingent on the first response
