Punching the wall with a fist
Which of the following may elicit an unconditioned response?
- Food aroma.
- A green traffic light.
- Scent from a familiar person.
- A computer charger.
Food aroma
Tom once got reprimaned by his mother after he used his mom’s credit car
- demonstrates operant conditioning.
- does not demonstrate any type of conditioning.
- does not show a change in response.
- demonstrates respondent conditioning.
demonstrates operant conditioning
Respondent behavior _______________________.
- all are correct
- is elicited by an antecedent stimulus.
- is shaped by a stimulus.
- is elicited by a consequence.
is elicited by an antecedent stimulus.
Respondent conditioning is most related to phyogeny or ontogeny?
ontogeny
When a stimulus acquired ability to elicit a response, this stimulus is ________________ , and the elicited response is called ___________.
conditioned stimulus (CS), conditioned response (CR)
What demonstrates the stimulus-stimulus pairing in respondent conditioning?
unconditioned stimulus - neutral stimulus
True or False: operant conditioning is a result of individual learning history.
true
If a stimulus cannot elicit a resonse, this stimulus is ___________.
neutral
Which of the following statement is correct?
Statement 1: A stimulus must be perceived by an organism before it can influence its behavior.
Statement 2: Stimuli that affect the responses in the same way belong to the same stimulus class even if they look different.
Both statements are correct.
Operant or Respondent conditioning?
Tom accidentally bumped his foot into the wall while walking on the street. As a result, Tom feels pain on his foot whenever he walks the same street.
Respondent
Reinforcement or punishment?
Tom is afraid of dog. When he was a child, he was bitten by a feral dog when he approached it. After that, whenever he sees a stray dog on the street, he would immediately move away.
punishment
Which of the below statement is correct:
Statement 1: For a reinforcer to increase a response, an individual must understand that the reinforcer is for the response.
Statement 2: When a reinforcer was used for a response, but the frequency of the target response did not increase. Then, the individual must be told about the function of the reinforcer in order for it to be effective.
Neither
When a therapist effectively used praise as a reinforcer to increase oral reading fluency, can the therapist use the same praise as a reinforcer when teaching mathematics?
Maybe. The therapist should test the effects of praise to assess if it can increase target response first.
Which of the folowing statement is correct?
Statement 1: Negative reinforcement contingencies require motivation.
Statement 2: The effect of negative reinforcement contingencies is dependent on whether removal of the aversive stimulus can be effectively removed.
Both statements are correct.
True or false: If a consequence can effectively increase the preceding response in one context, we can predict that this consequence should continue to function as a reinforcer if the context does not change
True
Supposedly a child’s problem behavior is maintained by food items that his mom used to give him food to calm him down in the case of problem behavior, his mom has now changed strategy that she will no longer give him food. In addition, she plans to reprimand her child in the case of problem behavior. What would the actual function of the reprimand be in this case?
There is not enough information.
James was arrested for drunk driving, and he spent a night in jail. When he was drinking next time, he started calling taxis to drive him back. In this scenario, spending a night in jail was _______________.
a negative punisher
True or false: FI schedule produces in a scalloped response pattern. VI schedule produces slow and steady responding.
True
Which of the following assessment would include a concurrent schedule?
- reinforcer assessment
- any of the assessments on response allocation under two or more independent schedules.
- preference assessment
all of the above
Which schedule (VI, FR, VR, FI) is best demonstrated?
Sometimes the teacher waits for the first request after 1 hour has elapsed to deliver a reinforcer. Other times, she waits for the first request after 30 minutes to deliver a reinforcer.
variable interval
A teacher delivers a reinforcer if the target response does not occur within the specified duration. If the response is observed, the teacher resets the timer. Which DR schedule is this?
DRO
True or false: Through repeatedly unpairing of an unconditioned punisher and a conditioned punisher, the conditioned punisher will eventually lose the effectiveness.
True
