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

Successive discrimination training

Answer 6

Only one antecedent (SD or SΔ) is presented to the learner in a given trial

Question 7

Discrimination training

Answer 7

Reinforce a response in the presence of a stimulus, but not in the absence of that stimulus

Question 8

Stimulus control

Answer 8

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 9

Discrimination training results in:

Answer 9

Stimulus control

Question 10

Model

Answer 10

An antecedent stimulus that evokes the imitative behavior

Question 11

Planned models

Answer 11

Prearranged antecedent stimuli that facilitate new skills

Question 12

Unplanned models

Answer 12

All antecedent stimuli with the capacity to evoke imitation

Question 13

Imitation training

Answer 13

Teaching the learner to imitate or do exactly what the person providing the models is doing

Question 14

Types of imitation

Answer 14

Fine motor
Gross motor
Object imitation

Question 15

High probability request sequence

Answer 15

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 16

Listener responding

Answer 16

Following directions or complying with requests of others

Question 17

Feature

Answer 17

The parts of items and descriptions of items

Question 18

Function

Answer 18

The actions that typically go with the items or what one does with the items and classes

Question 19

Class

Answer 19

The group(s) the items belong

Question 20

Errorless teaching

Answer 20

Procedure in which the prompt is provided right away.

Question 21

Differential outcomes procedure

Answer 21

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

Question 22

Differential outcomes can be effective in…

Answer 22

Difficult discrimination tasks

Question 23

Discrete trial teaching

Answer 23

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

Question 24

Components of a discrete trial

Answer 24

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 25

Task Interspersal

Answer 25

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

Question 26

Incidental teaching

Answer 26

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 27

Capturing

Answer 27

Taking advantage of a teaching situation that arises without warning in the natural setting

Question 28

Contriving

Answer 28

Setting up a pre-arranged teaching opportunity

Question 29

DTT often results in:

Answer 29

Rapid rate of acquisition

Question 30

IT/ NET often results in :

Answer 30

Stimulus generalization and induction
