Week 2

Question 1

Respondent behavior

Answer 1

Behavior that is elicited by antecedent stimuli

Question 2

Behavior that is elicited by antecedent stimuli

Answer 2

Respondent behavior

Question 3

Operant Behavior

Answer 3

• Consequences
• Future frequency determined by the history of consequences
• Selected
• Shaped
• Maintained by consequences

Question 4

• Consequences
• Future frequency determined by the history of consequences
• Selected
• Shaped
• Maintained by consequences

Answer 4

Operant Behavior

Question 5

“Functional Consequence”

Answer 5

Stimulus change that follows a given behavior in a relatively immediate temporal sequence and alters the frequency of that type of behavior in the future

Question 6

Stimulus change that follows a given behavior in a relatively immediate temporal sequence and alters the frequency of that type of behavior in the future

Answer 6

“Functional Consequence”

Question 7

Negative Reinforcement

Answer 7

• The termination of a stimulus post response, means future rates of the response will increase
• Escape and avoidance contingencies

Question 8

• The termination of a stimulus post response, means future rates of the response will increase
• Escape and avoidance contingencies

Answer 8

Negative Reinforcement

Question 9

Discriminated avoidance

Answer 9

Responding in the presence of a signal prevents the onset of a stimulus from which escape is a reinforcer

e.g. go to gym every day, tuesday see a person you don’t lille, don’t go on tuesday

Question 10

Responding in the presence of a signal prevents the onset of a stimulus from which escape is a reinforcer

e.g. go to gym every day, tuesday see a person you don’t lille, don’t go on tuesday

Answer 10

Discriminated avoidance

Question 11

Free-operant avoidance

Answer 11

Responding in the absence of a signal prevents the onset of a stimulus from which escape is a reinforcer

Question 12

Responding in the absence of a signal prevents the onset of a stimulus from which escape is a reinforcer

Answer 12

Free-operant avoidance

Question 13

Four term contingency

Answer 13

MO-A-B-C

Question 14

Unconditioned negative reinforcers

Answer 14

• Stimuli whose removal strengthens behavior in the absence of prior learning
• e.g. noxious events, shock, loud noise, intense light, etc.

Question 15

• Stimuli whose removal strengthens behavior in the absence of prior learning
• e.g. noxious events, shock, loud noise, intense light, etc.

Answer 15

Unconditioned negative reinforcers

Question 16

Conditioned negative reinforcers

Answer 16

• Previously neutral events that acquire their effects through parking with an existing (unconditioned or conditioned) negative reinforcer
• e.g. parents nagging

Question 17

• Previously neutral events that acquire their effects through parking with an existing (unconditioned or conditioned) negative reinforcer
• e.g. parents nagging

Answer 17

Conditioned negative reinforcers

Question 18

Source of Negative Reinforcement

Answer 18

A way to classify negative reinforcers is based on how they are removed

• Social negative reinforcement
• Automatic negative reinforcement

Question 19

Determinants of Negative Reinforcement effects

Answer 19

1. Stimulus change immediately follows the occurrence of the target response
2. The magnitude of reinforcement is large
3. Occurrence of the target response consistently produces escape from or postponement of the EO
4. Reinforcement is unavailable for competing (nontarget) responses
