What is the result of an Unconditional Stimulus?

A

An Unconditional Response (UCR).

Class Notes 13 P. 2

6
Q

How are stimuli discribed that do not elicit an Unconditional Response?

A

Neutral with respect to UCS/UCR

Class Notes 13 P. 2

7
Q

What occurs when a UCS is repeatedly paired with a neutral stimuli?

A

It begins to elicit a response similar to the UCS.

Class Notes 13 P. 2

8

A

A condition/learned response (CR)

Class Notes 13 P. 2

B.F. Skinner

Class Notes 13 P. 2

14

What is the function of a negative reenforcement?

A

to increase the frequency of a desired response by removing or terminating an ongoing aversive stimulus or event immediately after the desired response is obtained.
Class Notes 13 P. 4

15
Q

Define Shaping?

A

Breaking up a complex target behavior into small steps through the use of reinforcement until the target behavior is achieved.
Class Notes 13 P. 4

16
Q

Describe a Contingency Contract.

A

A process of negotiating desired behavior change between two people that contains specific defined rules and expectations for interaction.
Class Notes 13 P. 5

17
Q

Name key figure associated with the Social Learning Theory?

A

Albert Bandura

Class Notes 13 P. 6

18
Q

Social Learning theorist emphasized the reciprocal interaction between thoughts, behavior and environment. What did Bandura also maintain?

A

Along with our environment, cognitions and feelings also influence behavior.
Class Notes 13 P. 7

19
Q

What does the Social Exchange Theory posit?

A

People seek to maximize rewards and minimize cost in relationships.
Class Notes 13 P. 7

20
Q

The technique of Modeling based on what fact?

A

We learn from observing others.

Class Notes 13 P. 7

21
Q

What is seen in Normal Family Development?

A

A relationship where there is a balance between giving and getting as a result of acquiring effect skills i.e. communication and problem solving.
Class Notes 13 P. 8

22
Q

Name two couples therapy techniques.

A

Speaker Listening and Problem Solving

Class Notes 13 P. 8

23
Q

What do Cognitive Behaviorist concentrate on and look for?

The client.

Class Notes 13 P. 9

25
Q

Name two primary goals in Cognitive-Behavioral Family Therapy.

  • Substitute desirable behaviors in place of undesirable behaviors.
    Class Notes 13 P. 9
26
Q

What is the first step in Cognitive-Behavioral Family Therapy?

A

Define the problem.

Class Notes 13 P. 10

27
Q

What is the purpose of a Functional Analysis?

A

To develop a baseline of the frequency of the targeted behavior while documenting what precedes (antecedents) and follows the behavior (consequences).
Class Notes 13 P. 10

28
Q

What is the focus on in Cognitive-Behavioral Family Therapy?

A

The overt behavior rather than the target behavior itself.

Class Notes 13 P. 10

29
Q

In Parent/Child training in what 3 ways can information be obtain to obtain a baseline and to develop a functional analysis for treatment?

A
  1. Conduct a careful interview with the parents
  2. Observe the parent/child interaction through a one-way mirror.
  3. Observe the parent/child during a home visit.
