Week 8 Flashcards
(16 cards)
The extent to which a learner emits untrained responses that are functionally equivalent to the trained target behavior.
a) response generalization
b) generalization setting
c) response credibility
d) setting generalization
e) response maintenance
a.) response generalization
Any stimulus made functional for the target behavior in the instructional setting that later prompts or aids the learner in performing the target behavior in a generalization setting.
a) generalization setting
b) contrived contingency
c) stimulus exemplars
d) programming common stimulus
e) contrived mediating stimulus
e.) contrived mediating stimulus
The target behavior that is influenced in a self-management project.
a) controlling behavior
b) rule-governed behavior
c) self-management procedures
d) controlled behavior
e) habit disorder
d.) controlled behavior
The contingent loss of reinforcers (such as a fine) that produces a decrease of the frequency of behavior. It is a form of negative punishment.
a) planned ignoring
b) response blocking
c) response cost
d) contingent exercise
e) overcorrection
c.) response cost
A behavior change produced by differential reinforcement, resulting in the emergence of a new response class.
a) response differentiation
b) chaining
c) imitation
d) fading
e) shaping
a.) response differentiation
The amount of force, exertion, or time involved in executing a response.
a) behavior effort
b) response energy
c) response effort
d) response quantity
e) response exertion
c.) response effort
Behavior that is controlled by a verbal statement about a contingency between the behavior and a consequence.
a) motor tics
b) fear
c) rule-governed behavior
d) habit behavior
e) nervous habit
c.) rule governed behavior
A procedure for investigating conditional relations and stimulus equivalence.
a) stimulus delta
b) matching-to-sample
c) discriminative stimulus
d) unpairing
e) concept formation
b.) matching to sample
A contingency in which reinforcement for all members of a group is dependent on the behavior of one member of the group or the behavior of a select group of members within the larger group.
a) dependent group contingency
b) independent group contingency
c) contingency contract
d) interdependent group contingency
e) whole group contingency
a.) dependent group contingency
A procedure for decreasing problem behavior in which reinforcement is contingent on the absence of the problem behavior during or at specific times.
a) differential reinforcement of high rates
b) differential reinforcement of low rates
c) differential reinforcement of incompatible behavior
d) differential reinforcement of other behavior
e) differential reinforcement of alternative behavior
d.) differential reinforcement of other behavior
The manner in which a response is brought on during respondent conditioning.
a) elicit
b) antecedent
c) evoke
d) behavior
e) consequence
a.) elicit
Antecedent stimuli that evoke the same response but do not resemble each other in physical form or share a relational aspect such as bigger or under.
a) evocative stimulus class
b) antecedent stimulus class
c) arbitrary stimulus class
d) feature stimulus class
e) establishing stimulus class
c.) arbitrary stimulus class
A statement of the anticipated outcome of a presently unknown or future measurement.
a) verification
b) affirmation of the consequent
c) replication
d) practice effects
e) prediction
e.) prediction
A procedure in which the trainer presents the discriminative stimulus and then, after a specific interval of time, presents the prompt.
a) transfer of stimulus control
b) prompt fading
c) response prompt
d) prompt delay
e) graduated guidance
d.) prompt delay
A contingency in which a response prevents or postpones the presentation of a stimulus.
a) escape contingency
b) response contingency
c) termination contingency
d) intermittent contingency
e) avoidance contingency
d.) intermittent contingency
An action that has sudden and dramatic consequences that extend well beyond the idiosyncratic change itself, because it exposes the person to new environments, reinforcers, contingencies, responses, and stimulus controls.
a) magnitude
b) pivotal behavior
c) behavioral cusp
d) response latency
e) topography
c.) behavioral cusp
