Unit 1 Flashcards
Jose checks his P.O. Box. Once in a while, when Jose checks his P.O. Box, there is a check inside. This could best be described as:
Variable Interval (VI)
Jay gets a cookie every hour on the hour:
time schedule
Which type of schedule produces uneven responding?
Fixed
Which type of schedule produces higher rates of responding?
Ratio
Which schedule produces very high and steady responding?
Variable Ratio (VR)
Which schedule produces a scalloped pattern of responding?
Variable Interval (VI)
Which schedule produces high rates of responding but in a pause and burst pattern?
Fixed Ratio (FR)
Which of the following is an example of a time-based schedule?
Giving a child a candy bar every 48 hours
When setting criteria for reinforcement using DRH, the criteria is set between baseline rate and:
The highest rate during baseline
Jack frequented two bars. He would ask women to dance at both bars, and experienced similar rates of reinforcement at both bars. At one bar, women began dancing with Jack at higher rates than at the other bar. Jack’s rate of asking women to dance increased at the one bar, and decreased at the other bar. This is an example of:
Behavioral Contrast
If Chris approaches staff with his hands at his sides, the staff would say “Good hands down Chris, what do you want?” Then, Chris would sign for keys and the staff would hand over the keys. What type of schedule is this?
Chained
If Danica sat appropriately during task time and completed the task, staff would say, “Good job Danica, it’s break time!!” But she would only have a break if she then also signed “break.” During the break, Danica had to be free of aggressive behavior against others. If she was free of aggressive behavior against others, staff would give Danica candy. But when staff gave her candy, they would ask “Danica, what else do you want?” If Danica taps her head, then staff moves away from Danica.
Chained
Dennis’ mother would not give him cookies if he asked for a cookie, but she would give him cookie if he whined.This is an example of:
Differential Reinforcement
Chris has learned to approach staff with his hands down instead of his hands up through the process of differential reinforcement. This is:
Differentiation
Jose taught Juan how to turn on the water in a sink. Initially, Jose took Juan’s hand and guided it to right on top of the faucet and turned the water on. This was repeated a number of times. Then Jose noticed that Juan was moving his hand to the faucet independently but not pressing down, so Jose guided Juan to press down.This is an example of:
Graduated guidance
Jose was teaching Gwen to sign for candy. Initially, Jose would say, “Gwen, what do you want? Sign candy!” and then Jose would sign candy, and guide Gwen to sign candy. After repeating this a number of time, Jose stopped fully guiding Gwen’s hand and waited for her to sign independently. If she signed for candy, Jose gave her candy. If she did not sign for candy, Jose guided her hand to sign candy.This is an example of:
both Most-to-least prompt fading and Least-to-most prompt fading
Staff was teaching Randy how to tie his shoes. The only thing that Randy could do was to put his feet inside his shoes. What type of chaining should be used?
Backward
Discrimination training consists of presenting two different:
Antecedent stimuli
behavior chain
complex bx consisting of 2 or more responses in order
parts of chain
links
parameters of reinforcement
magnitude, duration, quantity
schedule of reinforcement
rule that specifies which response will be followed by reinforcement and which will not
CRF
each and every single response emitted is reinforced
Ext
schedule of non-reinforcement, no bx is ever reinforced
CRF
used to established or strengthen bx
intermittent reinforcement
used to maintained bx
ratio schedule
reinforcement delivered after certain # of responses
interval schedule
reinforcement delivered for the first response after a certain amount of time since last reinforcement
fixed schedule
responses or Amt of time remains the same
variable schedule
amt of time or # of response is random but centers around a value
limited hold
restriction placed on an interval schedule requiring response to occur in time limit
limited hold results in
some increase in rate no change in pattern
