Applied Behavioral Science Exam
A stimulus that has acquired reinforcing properties as a result of learned pairing with other reinforcing
stimulus is called an -
conditioned reinforcer
A stimulus that does not require another agent or individual to be reinforcing is referred to as an -
automatic reinforcer
When the behavior occurs and the reinforcer is no longer delivered, we call this... -
extinction
In class we mentioned CRF..what were we talking about? -
continuous reinforcement-essentially an FR1 schedule
The science that studies environmental events that change behavior is.. -
behavior analysis
In which form of respondent conditioning is the US presented AFTER the CS -
trace conditioning
The definition of an aversive stimulus is the following.. -
a stimulus from which an organism will actively work to avoid or escape
The difference between differential reinforcement and _________ is that, in the latter (i.e., the blank
term), the behavior analyst keeps changing the reinforcement contingency. For example, once the first
approximation is occurring frequently, then it's time to ask for a little more. -
shaping
The difference between an interval and a ratio schedule of reinforcement is... -
on an interval schedule, the reinforcer becomes available after a period of time has elapsed,
whereas on a ratio schedule the passage of time does not affect when the reinforcer will become
available
Sometimes, following the introduction of extinction, organisms will emit a variety of novel behaviors.
What do we call this burst of creative responding? -
extinction-induced variability
A conditioned reinforcer that has been paired with more than one backup reinforcer is called an.. -
generalized conditioned reinforcer
A reinforcer is a stimulus that _________ behavior and ______ the future probability of that behavior. -
follows, increases
Differential reinforcement is the combination of _______ and __________. -
