Unit 2 Test

Question 1

Reinforcer

Answer 1

Any stimulus change that follows a response and increases the probability of similar responses under similar circumstances.

Question 2

5 dimensions of responding

Answer 2

Rate
Duration
Latency
Intensity
Topography

Question 3

Function altering

Answer 3

The reinforcer makes the Sd elicit a similar response

Question 4

Automatic reinforcement

Answer 4

Reinforcement that is not socially mediated.

Question 5

Time-out procedure

Answer 5

Time when the person is either removed from a reinforcing environment or loses access to reinforcers.

Question 6

Time-out conceptual

Answer 6

The more reinforcing time-in is the more effective time-out will be

Question 7

Time-out functional

Answer 7

Time-out involves a reduces the frequency of similar responses under similar conditions.

Question 8

Positive reinforcement

Answer 8

Response is followed by the presentation of a stimulus, contingent on behavior, and increases the future frequency of similar responses under similar conditions.

Question 9

Negative reinforcement

Answer 9

Response is followed by the removal of a stimulus, contingent on behavior, and increases the future frequency of similar responses under similar conditions.

Question 10

Positive punishment

Answer 10

Response is followed by the presentation of a stimulus, contingent on behavior, and decreases the future frequency of similar responses under similar conditions.

Question 11

Negative punisher

Answer 11

Response is followed by the removal of a stimulus, contingent on behavior, and decreases the future frequency of similar responses under similar conditions.

Question 12

Circular explanation

Answer 12

The evidence for the explanation is the same as the behavior to be explained.

Question 13

Environment

Answer 13

All stimulus change that affects behavior at a given time.

Question 14

Dererminism

Answer 14

All behavior is lawful and orderly

Question 15

Stimulus

Answer 15

Energy change that effects behavior

Question 16

5 schedules of R

Answer 16

CRF- reinforcement is given with every occurrence of behavior
IRF- some but not all behaviors are reinforced
(FR, VR, FI, VI)

FT, VT- non-contingent reinforcement. Response independent

Question 17

Response cost

Answer 17

Withdrawing R when behavior occurs

Question 18

Aversive stimulus

Answer 18

MO, negative reinforcer, positive punisher

Question 19

Automaticity of behavior

Answer 19

Behavior is being reinforced w/out the knowledge of the person being reinforced.

Question 20

DRL

Answer 20

Reinforcement is provided when behavior does not exceed a predetermined criterion. IRT need to be high

Question 21

DRH

Answer 21

Reinforcement is provided when a behavior occurs more than a predetermined criterion. “Asking for help” IRT needs to be low

Question 22

Punishment

Answer 22

Not about punishing people but about decreasing behavior.

Question 23

Planned ignoring

Answer 23

occurs when social reinforcers are removed when inappropriate behaviors occur.

Question 24

Contingent observation

Answer 24

the person can observation ongoing activities but access to reinforcement is lost.

Question 25

ABA

Answer 25

The science in which tactics derived from principles of behavior are applied systematically to improve socially significant behavior and experimentation is used to identify the variables responsible for bx change.
