Week 9 Flashcards
(19 cards)
A type of stimulus-to-stimulus relationship in which the learner, without prior training or reinforcement for doing so, demonstrates the reversibility of matched sample and comparison stimuli (e.g., A=B, then B=A).
a) prompting
b) reflexivity
c) symmetry
d) respectivity
e) transitivity
c.) symmetry
This is a special interest group in ABA, an interdisciplinary field combining both medicine and psychology. It is concerned with the integration of knowledge in the biological, behavioral, psychological, and social sciences relevant to health and illness.
a) behavioral medicine
b) counseling
c) Organizational behavior management
d) positive behavior support
e) verbal behavior
a.) behavioral medicine
A behavior change tactic based on positive punishment in which, contingent on the problem behavior, the learner is required to engage in effortful behavior directly or logically related to fixing the damage caused by the behavior.
a) overcorrection
b) contingent exercise
c) response blocking
d) planned ignoring
e) contingent observation
a.) overcorrection
A two-party contract in which two people each seek behavior change.
a) behavior contract
b) rule-governed contract
c) tandem contract
d) parallel contract
e) quid pro quo contract
d.) parallel contract
An experiment designed to discover the differential effects of a range of values of an independent variable.
a) systematic replication
b) double-blind control
c) parametric analysis
d) NCR reversal technique
e) direct replication
c.) parametric analysis
Situations where different reinforcers and/or different behaviors are associated with concurrently available response alternatives.
a) prompting
b) transitivity
c) asymmetrical matching equation
d) respectivity
e) symmetry
c.) asymmetrical matching equation
The allocation of responses to choices available on concurrent schedules of reinforcement. Rates of responding across choices are distributed in proportions that match the rates of reinforcement received from each choice alternative.
a) multiple schedule
b) mixed schedule
c) matching law
d) limited hold
e) Premack principle
c.) matching law
A type of stimulus-to-stimulus relation in which the learner, without any prior training or reinforcement for doing so, selects a comparison stimulus that is the same as the sample stimulus (e.g., A=A).
a) reflexivity
b) symmetry
c) respectivity
d) transitivity
e) prompting
a.) reflexivity
A positive punishment procedure in which an aversive stimulus is delivered contingent on the occurrence of the undesirable behavior to decrease the future probability of the undesirable behavior.
a) restitution
b) guided compliance
c) application of aversive stimulation
d) contingent exercise
e) time-in
c.) application of aversive stimulation
An outcome or result that appears to exist because of the way it is measured, but in fact does not correspond to what actually occurred.
a) habilitation
b) artifact
c) magnitude
d) topography
e) invalid outcome
b.) artifact
Punishment that occurs independent of the social mediation by others (that is, a response product that serves as a punisher independent of the social environment).
a) automatic reinforcement
b) Premack principle
c) verbal behavior
d) automatic punishment
e) unconditioned reinforcer
d.) automatic punishment
The modification of behavior by its consequences, irrespective of the person’s awareness.
a) unconditioned stimulus
b) behavior change tactic
c) automatic reinforcement
d) automaticity
e) replication
d.) automaticity
The phenomenon in which a change in one component of a multiple schedule that increases or decreases the rate of responding on that component is accompanied by a change in the response rate in the opposite direction on the other, unaltered component of the schedule.
a) behavioral chain
b) behavioral trap
c) behavioral contract
d) behavioral contrast
e) behavioral cusp
d.) behavioral contrast
A metaphor to describe a rate of responding and its resistance to change following an alteration in reinforcement conditions.
a) behavioral momentum
b) escape extinction
c) extinction burst
d) antecedent intervention
e) behavioral cusp
a.) behavioral momentum
An alternative behavior that occurs in place of another target behavior.
a) habit disorder
b) motivation strategy
c) habit reversal
d) social support
e) competing response
e.) competing response
A component of the habit reversal procedure in which the client is taught to engage in a competing response contingent on the occurrence of the habit behavior or contingent on the urge to engage in the habit behavior.
a) motivation strategy
b) competing response training
c) social support
d) habit disorder
e) habit reversal
b.) competing response training
Variables that are relevant to describing the stimulus environment. These can include people and items present.
a) avoidance behavior
b) contingency
c) environmental variables
d) operant behavior
c.) environmental variables
Behaviors maintained with negative reinforcement are placed on escape extinction when those behaviors are not followed by termination of the aversive stimulus; emitting the target behavior does not enable the person to escape the aversive situation.
a) sensory extinction
b) spontaneous recovery
c) escape extinction
d) negative reinforcement
e) extinction burst
c.) escape extinction
A contingency in which a response terminates (produces escape from) an ongoing stimulus.
a) escape contingency
b) response contingency
c) avoidance contingency
d) intermittent contingency
e) termination contingency
a.) escape contingency
