Question 1

adjunctive behavior

Answer 1

schedule-induced behavior

Question 2

conjunctive schedule

Answer 2

reinforcement delivered when both requirements of a ratio and interval schedule are met

Question 3

alternative schedule

Answer 3

reinforcement delivered when EITHER requirements of ratio or interval schedule is met regardless of which occurs first

Question 4

tandem schedule

Answer 4

identical to chained schedules, but there is no SD.

Question 5

mixed schedule

Answer 5

identical to multiple schedules, but there is no SD.

Question 6

chained schedule

Answer 6

similar to a multiple schedule, but basic schedules always occur in the same sequence. SD tied to each schedule.

Question 7

multiple schedule

Answer 7

two or more schedules presented in alternating sequences. SD tied to each schedule.

Question 8

matching law

Answer 8

response allocation to choices available on concurrent schedule.

Question 9

concurrent schedule

Answer 9

two or more schedules operate simultaneously but independently, each for a different response.

Question 10

compound schedule

Answer 10

two or more basic schedules combined into one schedule.

Question 11

progressive-ratio schedule of reinforcement

Answer 11

variation of FR; increases ratio requirements incrementally within the session.

Question 12

progressive schedules of reinforcement

Answer 12

reinforcement opportunities successively thinned independent of behavior

Question 13

lag schedule

Answer 13

reinforcement for response variability.

Question 14

hypothetical constructs

Answer 14

presumed entities not manipulated in an experiment

Question 15

discriminative stimulus

Answer 15

reinforcement available

Question 16

behavior

Answer 16

activity of an organism

Question 17

premack principle

Answer 17

first this behavior, then this behavior

Question 18

s delta

Answer 18

reinforcement not available

Question 19

differential reinforcement of other behavior, DRO

Answer 19

reinforcement delivered for absence of target behavior

Question 20

differential reinforcement of alternative behavior, DRA

Answer 20

reinforcement delivered when an alternative behavior occurs.

Question 21

replication

Answer 21

repeating experiments.

Question 22

US

Answer 22

unconditioned stimulus

Question 23

neutral stimuli

Answer 23

have no impact on occurrence of behavior

Question 24

antecedent

Answer 24

occur prior to the behavior of interest

Question 25

environment

Answer 25

physical setting in which organism exists

Question 26

effective

Answer 26

behavior must improve to a practical degree

Question 27

parsimony

Answer 27

all simple explanations ruled out before using complex explanations

Question 28

3 term contingency

Answer 28

antecedent, behavior, consequnce

Question 29

experimentation

Answer 29

basic strategy of most sciences

Question 30

methodological behaviorism

Answer 30

stimulus-response psychology

Question 31

discriminative stimulus- SD

Answer 31

signals availability of reinforcement

Question 32

behaviorism according to Watson

Answer 32

methodological behaviorsim

Question 33

reflex

Answer 33

unlearned stimulus-response relation

Question 34

conditioned stimuli

Answer 34

elicit respondent behavior through stimulus-stimulus pairing

Question 35

selectionsim

Answer 35

all forms of life evolve as a result of selection with respect to function

Question 36

analytic

Answer 36

functional relation between manipulated events and some dimension of behavior

Question 37

technological

Answer 37

procedures described in terms of principles from which they were derived

Question 38

experimental analysis of behavior

Answer 38

natural science approach to the study of behavior

generalized conditioned reinforcers

Answer 39

paired with many unconditioned and conditioned reinforcers

Question 40

reinforcement

Answer 40

response followed by a stimulus change resulting in increases in behavior
