SNA Ext., Generalization Flashcards
Extinction can only occur when ______________ is withheld for a previously
reinforced behavior
Reinforcement
Extinction is used to _________________ or eliminate the target behavior
Decrease
_______________ __________________ refers to the initial increase in the target
behavior when an extinction procedure is implemented.
Extinction Burst
Masking is #_______________________
Knower Not A Show’er
Overshadowing is #______________________
Don’t Have The Skill
When a behavior that has been put on extinction re-emerges after a
period of time, this is known as _____________ _____________.
Spontaneous Recovery
With stimulus generalization there are _____________ stimuli and
_______________ response
Multiple, One
With response generalization there are ______________ responses and
_________________ stimulus.
Multiple, One
This is something to be aware of when teaching for generalization,
__________________________.
Overgenaralization
Stimulus generalization has a _______________________ degree of stimulus
control.
Tight
When teaching concept formation there needs to be generalization
________________ stimulus classes and stimulus discrimination
_____________________ stimulus classes.
Within, Across/Between
T/F: Extinction is the same thing as
punishment.
False, They are different
T/F: Extinction is when reinforcement is
withheld for a previously reinforced
behavior
True
T/F: When using an extinction procedure
you want to intermittently reinforce
behavior.
False, Prove Zero Reinforcement
T/F: The three types of extinction of
behavior are maintained by positive, negative, and automatic
reinforcement.
True
T/F: Response blocking is the same
thing as an extinction procedure.
False, they are different things
T/F: With masking the skill is already in their repertoire but there is a
competing stimulus that can block
the function of that stimulus.
True
T/F: Masking and Overshadowing are two things that get in the way of
stimulus control.
True
During an extinction burst, behavior can increase in
Frequency, Intensity, Duration
Which of the following shows the correct sequence in the three-term
contingency?
discriminative stimulus, response, consequence (ABC)
Stimulus discrimination can occur as a result of direct experience of:
Reinforcement, Extinction, Punishment
Generalization is described as ______________________ stimulus control.
Broad
Melissa needs to crack open a bottle of wine. Typically she would use a bottle opener. However, today, she can’t find it. Which of the
following would best represent response generalization?
Melissa pops the top against the table
Katie, a BCBA, implemented an intervention where her client does not receive any cookies if she engages in the target behavior of tantruming. This program was implemented in the home and after one day the client’s parents call Katie and inform her that their child’s tantruming has
increased. What is the child’s initial increase of tantrum behavior an
example of?
Extinction Burst
You are used to the light turning on when you clap your hands in your
study. You have a history of clapping and the lights turning off and on in the study. For two days, you clap and nothing happens. The lights remain of in the study. After that you no longer go into the study and clap for anything that requires lights. You no longer clapping is an example of?
Extinction
Benjamin has placed a client’s cursing (attention seeking function) on extinction through a planned ignoring procedure. Four months go by and his client no longer curses when seeking attention. However, one day his client begins cursing again. What is this an example of?
Spontaneous Recovery
Toler has an extensive reading repertoire. However, when he is in front of his peers he often makes mistakes and does not answer the teacher’s questions. What is this an example of?
Masking
Matthew is learning about chemistry. However, he is unable to acquire the skills taught during class because he is looking at the cheerleaders who are practicing outside of the window. What is this an example of?
Overshadowing
Jonathan, who is 3, often embarrasses his mother because every time a man walks by he shouts “daddy”! What is this an example of?
Overgeneralization
You go to the gas station to get gas for your car but you do not go to a
gas station when you need medical attention. This would be an example of….
Stimulus discrimination
Lauren has to carry a lot of things into her house from the shopping spree she just engaged in. She goes to the door and holds it open with her foot. The next trip she holds the door open with her elbow. The final trip she holds the door open with her butt. This best describes what concept?
Response Generalization
You are working with a client and you go with them on a community outing to the toy store. You pick up a doll and ask them, “what is this” and they state “toy”. You pick up two other items, a lego set and a play kitchen. The client says “toy” to both of these items as well. What has your client demonstrated?
