Things we can see and hear

Question 1

Applied behaviour analysis

Answer 1

Area of psychology that focuses on assessing how environmental factors affect behaviour

Question 2

Contingency

Answer 2

A relationship between events, such as when the one occurs the other event is likely to occur as well

Question 3

Applied

Answer 3

Dimension of ABA that means there is focus on important real world problems

Question 4

Behavioural

Answer 4

Dimension of ABA that means we use behaviour change s the central measure

Question 5

Analytic

Answer 5

A dimension of ABA that means we apply a clear indication of how and why behaviour changed

Question 6

Technological

Answer 6

Dimension of ABA that means procedures are described pearly enough to be replicated

Question 7

Conceptually systematic

Answer 7

Dimension of ABA that means methods have a scientific base

Question 8

Effective

Answer 8

Dimension of ABA that means methods produce intended behaviour changes

Question 9

Generality

Answer 9

Dimension of ABA that means procedures an be applied to other populations settings and behaviours

Question 10

Consequence

Answer 10

Stimulus that follows behaviour and influences the future probability of the behaviour under certain stimulus

Question 11

Reinforcer

Answer 11

A consequence that increases furthers likelihood of behaviour

Question 12

Punisher

Answer 12

A consequence that decreases the further likelihood of behaviour

Question 13

Positive reinforcement

Answer 13

The addition of a stimulus after behaviour that results in an increase in the probability of that behaviour occurring again under similar circumstances

Question 14

Negative reinforcement

Answer 14

The removal of a stimulus after behaviour that results in an increase in the probability of that behaviour occurring again under similar circumstances

Question 15

Motivating operations

Answer 15

Events that temporarily alter the effectiveness of a stimulus to function as a reinforcer and alter the frequency of the behaviour reinforced by the stimulus

Question 16

Establishing operation

Answer 16

The motivating operation that makes a stimulus more likely to function as a reinforcer

Question 17

Abolishing operations

Answer 17

The motivating operation that makes a stimulus less likely to function as a reinforcer

Question 18

Adventitious reinforcement

Answer 18

Situation in which the organism responds as if there is a contingency in place when there actually isn’t one

Question 19

Unconditioned or primary reinforcers

Answer 19

Stimuli that are innately positively or negatively reinforcing to us

Question 20

Conditioned or secondary reinforcements

Answer 20

Stimuli that are reinforcing to us because we learn to like them or avoid them

Question 21

Schedule of reinforcement

Answer 21

A rule specifying which occurrences of behaviour will be reinforced

Question 22

Continuos schedule

Answer 22

Schedule in which reinforcement is delivered after every response

Question 23

Intermittent schedule

Answer 23

Schedule in which reinforcement is delivered occasionally

Question 24

Acquisition

Answer 24

Period in which a behaviour is initially being learned

Question 25

Maintenance

Answer 25

The endurance of behaviour over time

Question 26

Ratio schedule

Answer 26

Schedule in which reinforcement is delivered based on the number of responses emitted

Question 27

Interval schedule

Answer 27

Schedule in which reinforcement is delivered based on the first response emitted after a period of time

Question 28

Fixed ratio

Answer 28

Schedule in which the reinforcer is delivered after a specific number of responses

Question 29

Variable ratio

Answer 29

Schedule in which the reinforcer is delivered after an unpredictable number of responses

Question 30

Fixed interval

Answer 30

Schedule in which the reinforcer is delivered for the first response after a specific period of time

Question 31

Variable interval

Answer 31

Schedule in which the reinforcer is delivered for the first response after an unpredictable period of time

Question 32

Limited hold

Answer 32

Schedule in which there is a limited period of time in which the reinforcer is available

Question 33

Duration schedule

Answer 33

Schedule in which behaviour is reinforced if it occurs continuously for a period of time

Question 34

Concurrent schedules of reinforcement

Answer 34

Situation in which two or more schedules are operating independently and simultaneously on two or more behaviours

Question 35

Ratio strain

Answer 35

Situation in which the ratio of responding to reinforcement is so high that the organism stops responding

Question 36

Post reinforcement pause

Answer 36

A temporary cessation of responding after the delivery of a reinforce

Question 37

Extinction

Answer 37

Withholding reinforcement from a previously reinforced behavior

Question 38

Extinction burst

Answer 38

An initial increase in response frequency after the removal of reinforcement

Question 39

Spontaneous recovery

Answer 39

Reappearance of a previously extinguished response
