Unit 2

Question 1

Differential reinforcement

Answer 1

Process that consist of reinforcement and
extinction that may result in either
differentiation or discrimination.

Question 2

Two operations of differential reinforcement

Answer 2

Reinforcement

Extinction

Question 3

Differentiation

Answer 3

Results when differential reinforcement
consists of reinforcing one response while
placing a second response on extinction.

Question 4

Discrimination

Answer 4

Results when differential reinforcement
consists of reinforcing a response when
certain stimuli are present and not reinforcing
the same response when those stimuli are

not present.

Question 5

Simultaneous discrimination training

Answer 5

Both the SD and SΔ stimulus conditions are

presented to the learner at the same time

Question 6

Discrimination training

Answer 6

Reinforce a response in the presence of a

stimulus, but not in the absence of that stimulus

Question 7

Stimulus control

Answer 7

A situation in which the frequency, latency,
duration, or amplitude of a behavior is
altered by the presence or absence of an

antecedent stimulus

Question 8

Discrimination training results in:

Answer 8

Stimulus control

Question 9

Model

Answer 9

An antecedent stimulus that evokes the

imitative behavior

Question 10

Planned models

Answer 10

Prearranged antecedent stimuli that facilitate new skills

Question 11

Unplanned models

Answer 11

All antecedent stimuli with the capacity to

evoke imitation

Question 12

Imitation training

Answer 12

Teaching the learner to imitate or do exactly

what the person providing the models is doing

Question 13

Types of imitation

Answer 13

Fine motor
Gross motor
Object imitation

Question 14

High probability request sequence

Answer 14

An antecedent manipulation in which 2-5
easy/known tasks are presented in quick
succession immediately prior to a difficult/
high effort task or a response that is
relatively infrequent

Question 15

Listener responding

Answer 15

Following directions or complying with

requests of others

Question 16

Feature

Answer 16

The parts of items and descriptions of items

Question 17

Function

Answer 17

The actions that typically go with the items or

what one does with the items and classes

Question 18

Class

Answer 18

The group(s) the items belong

Question 19

Errorless teaching

Answer 19

Procedure in which the prompt is provided

right away.

Question 20

Differential outcomes procedure

Answer 20

Different reinforcers are provided in a
discrimination task each of which is
correlated with a given stimulus.

Question 21

Differential outcomes can be effective in…

Answer 21

Difficult discrimination tasks

Question 22

Discrete trial teaching

Answer 22

Antecedents are presented; teacher waits for
the learner to respond, learner responds,
and teacher provides consequence
contingent on the learner’s response

Question 23

Components of a discrete trial

Answer 23

An antecedent stimulus that sets the occasion for the learner’s response
A response by the learner
A teacher provided consequence for the
learner’s response

Question 24

Task Interspersal

Answer 24

Programming mastered items or tasks in
between acquisition trials during discrete trial
instruction

Question 25

Incidental teaching

Answer 25

One or more cues occur or motivating operations are captured in a naturally-
occurring situation. Naturally-occurring consequences are delivered contingent on
learner’s response.

Question 26

Capturing

Answer 26

Taking advantage of a teaching situation that

arises without warning in the natural setting

Question 27

Contriving

Answer 27

Setting up a pre-arranged teaching opportunity

Question 28

DTT often results in:

Answer 28

Rapid rate of acquisition

Question 29

IT/ NET often results in

Answer 29

Stimulus generalization and induction
