Question 1

Is there also an s delta? (If not, then you also don’t have an Sd)

Answer 1

Criteria for diagraming discriminated contingencies: S delta contingency test

Question 2

Incidental teaching

Answer 2

The planned use of behavioral contingencies, differential reinforcement, and discrimination training in the students everyday environment.

Question 3

Stimulus dimensions

Answer 3

The physical properties of a stimulus

Question 4

Fading procedures

Answer 4

At first, the s delta and the s d differ along at least 2 stimulus dimensions. Then the difference between the s delta and the s d is reduced along all but one dimension, until the S d and the S delta differ along only the relevant dimensions.

Question 5

Stimulus- generalization gradient

Answer 5

A gradient of responding showing a decrease in responding as the test stimulus becomes less similar to the training stimulus.

Question 6

Conceptual stimulus control (conceptual control)

Answer 6

Responding occurs more often in the presence of one stimulus class and less often in the presence of another stimulus class because of concept training.

Question 7

Objective measure

Answer 7

The criteria for measurement are completely specified in physical terms and the event being measured is public and therefore observable by more than one person.

Question 8

Subjective measure

Answer 8

The criteria for measurement are not completely specified in physical terms or the event being measured is a private, inner experience

Question 9

Matching to sample

Answer 9

Selecting a comparison stimulus corresponding to a sample stimulus

Question 10

Concept training

Answer 10

Reinforcing or punishing a response in the presence of one stimulus class and extinguishing it or allowing it to recover in the presence of another stimulus class

Question 11

Stimulus generalization

Answer 11

The behavioral contingencies in the presence of one stimulus affect the frequency of the response in the presence of another stimulus

Question 12

Operandum

Answer 12

That part of the environment the organism operates (manipulates)

Question 13

Discrimination training procedure

Answer 13

Reinforcing or punishing a response in the presence of one stimulus and extinguishing it or allowing it to recover in the presence of another stimulus.

Question 14

Prompt

Answer 14

A supplemental stimulus that raises the probability of a correct response.
