week 9-chapter 17&30

Question 1

Stimulus Control

Answer 1

Occurs when the rate, latency, duration, or amplitude of a response is altered in the presence of an antecedent stimulus.

Question 2

Establishing operation

Answer 2

makes the reinforcer more valuable

Question 3

Abolishing operation

Answer 3

makes the reinforcer less valuable

Question 4

Stimulus Generalization

Answer 4

Occurs when stimuli that share similar physical characteristics with the
controlling stimulus evoke the same behavior as the controlling stimulus

Question 5

Stimulus Discrimination

Answer 5

Occurs when new stimuli that are similar to the controlling stimulus do not
evoke the same response as the controlling stimulus

Question 6

Stimulus discrimination training

Answer 6

Requires one behavior, Two antecedent stimulus conditions,

Question 7

Response that occurs in the presence of the Sd are…

Answer 7

reinforced

Question 8

responses that occurs in the presence of the S(little triangle) are…

Answer 8

Not reinforced.

Question 9

Feature stimulus class

Answer 9

Stimuli share common physical forms (i.e.,
topographical structures), Stimuli share common relative relationship
(i.e., spatial arrangements), Developed through stimulus generalization

Question 10

Arbitrary stimulus class

Answer 10

Do not share a common stimulus feature, Limited number of stimuli, Developed using stimulus equivalence

Question 11

Stimulus Equivalence

Answer 11

The emergence of accurate responding to untrained and nonreinforced stimulus-
stimulus relations following the reinforcement of responses to some stimulus-stimulus relations

Question 12

Testing for Stimulus
Equivalence

Answer 12

Must have a positive demonstration on 3 different behavioral tests that represent the following mathematical statement:
– If A = B, and
– B = C, then
– A = C

Question 13

Reflexivity

Answer 13

Occurs when in the absence of training
and reinforcement, a participant selects a
stimulus that is matched to itself (A = A)
* Matching to sample

Question 14

Symmetry

Answer 14

Occurs with reversibility of the sample
stimulus and the comparison stimulus (if A
= B, then B = A)

Question 15

Transitivity

Answer 15

Requires demonstration of three untrained
stimulus-stimulus sequences
A = B relation (spoken name = picture)
B = C relation (picture = written word)
A = C relation (spoken word = written word)

Question 16

Stimulus Salience

Answer 16

Prominence of the stimulus in the environment, Increased saliency facilitates efficiency of instruction

Question 17

Antecedent stimulus class

Answer 17

A set of stimuli that share a common relationship. All stimuli in an antecedent stimulus class evoke the same operant behavior or elicit the same respondent behavior.

Question 18

Concept

Answer 18

A stimulus class whose members share a common set of features.

Question 19

conditional discrimination

Answer 19

Performance in a match-to-sample procedure in which discrimination between the comparison stimuli is conditional on or depends on the sample stimulus present on each trial.

Question 20

constant time delay

Answer 20

A procedure for transferring stimulus control from contrived response prompts to naturally existing stimuli. After the student has responded correctly to several 0-sec delay trials, after which presentation of the response prompt follows the instructions; stimulus by a predetermined and fixed delay for all subsequent trials.

Question 21

discriminative stimulus

Answer 21

A stimulus in the presence of which a given behavior has been reinforced in the absence of which they behavior has not been reinforced. As a result if this history and SD evoke operant behavior because its presence signals the availability of reinforcement.

Question 22

errorless learning

Answer 22

A variety of techniques for gradually transferring stimulus control with a minimum of errors.

Question 23

least-to-most response prompts

Question 24

Matching-to-sample

Question 25

most-to-least response prompts

Question 26

over selective stimulus control

Answer 26

A condition in which the range of discriminative stimuli or stimulus features controlling behavior is extremely limited; often interferes with learning.

Question 27

overshadowing

Answer 27

Occurs when the most salient component of a compound stimulus agreement controls responding and interferes with the acquisition of stimulus control by the more relevant stimulus.

Question 28

progressive time delay

Question 29

response prompts

Question 30

stimulus blocking

Question 31

stimulus delta

Question 32

stimulus fading

Question 33

stimulus generalization gradient

Question 34

stimulus prompts

Question 35

time delay
