Key concepts in operant conditioning and behavior analysis, including reinforcement, punishment, motivating operations, stimulus control, and observational recording methods. It explores the principles and techniques used in applied behavior analysis to understand, predict, and modify human behavior. A comprehensive overview of the fundamental principles and applications of operant conditioning, with a focus on the experimental and analytical approaches that distinguish behavior analysis as a scientific discipline. It covers topics such as the effects of reinforcement and punishment on behavior, the role of motivating operations, the importance of stimulus control, and the various methods used to observe and measure behavior. The information presented in this document would be highly relevant for students and professionals interested in the field of applied behavior analysis, psychology, or related disciplines.

Question 1 1 / 1 pts An evocative effect refers to: A decrease in the current frequency of behavior that has been reinforced by some stimulus, object, or event Correct! An increase in the current frequency of behavior that has been reinforced by some stimulus, object, or event No effect in the current frequency of behavior that has been reinforced by some stimulus, object, or event A combination of decreasing and increasing effects in the current frequency of behavior that has been reinforced by some stimulus, object, or event Question 2 1 / 1 pts An abative effect refers to: Correct! A decrease in the current frequency of behavior that has been reinforced by some stimulus, object, or event An increase in the current frequency of behavior that has been reinforced by some stimulus, object, or event No effect in the current frequency of behavior that has been reinforced by some stimulus, object, or event A combination of decreasing and increasing effects in the current frequency of behavior that has been reinforced by some stimulus, object, or event Question 3 1 / 1 pts A stimulus or condition that increases the effectiveness of a stimulus as a reinforcer is known as a discriminative stimulus Correct!
establishing operation abolishing operation reinforcing stimulus Question 4 1 / 1 pts Deprivation the effectiveness of a reinforcer Correct! increases has no effect on decreases Question 5 1 / 1 pts The effect that can increase or decrease the reinforcing effectiveness of a stimulus, object, or event is the . Correct! value-altering effect behavior- altering effect antecedent effect consequent effect Question 6 1 / 1 pts What is the BEST example of an unconditioned motivating operation (UMO) for an adult human? getting paid after a week of having no income eating a chocolate bar after dieting for a week Correct! eating dinner after a week of not eating getting a new watch after a week of not having one
1 / 1 pts A therapist knowingly provides a child with a bag of M&M’s that the child cannot open, so that they use the mand, “open!”. This is an example of: CMO- R CMO- S Correct! CMO-T CMO- R2D Question 11 1 / 1 pts When a reinforcer is continuously available, its reduced effectiveness is also known as satiation Correct! Tru e Fals e Question 12 1 / 1 pts Motivating operations are events that have been associated with the availability or non-availability of reinforcement in the past. True Correc t! False Question 13 1 / 1 pts are events that have been associated with the availability or non-availability of reinforcement in the past
Motivating operations Correct!
1 / 1 pts A discriminative stimulus is: Correct! A stimulus in the presence of which a response will be reinforced. A stimulus in the presence of which a response will not be reinforced. A stimulus in the presence of which a response will be placed on extinction. A stimulus that cues respondent behaviors to occur. Question 18 1 / 1 pts A stimulus delta is: A stimulus in the presence of which a response will be reinforced. Correct! A stimulus in the presence of which a response will not be reinforced. A stimulus in the presence of which a response will be placed on extinction. A stimulus that cues respondent behaviors to occur. Question 19 1 / 1 pts Operant stimulus control has been achieved when: A response occurs frequently throughout the day under a variety of stimulus conditions. A response occurs in the presence of a conditioned stimulus. Correct! A response occurs more frequently in the presence of a specific stimulus, but rarely occurs in the absence of the stimulus. A response occurs more frequently in the absence of a specific stimulus, but rarely occurs in its presence. Question 20
Question 23 1 / 1 pts Stimuli in an arbitrary stimulus class: Share common physical forms or relations to the target stimulus. Correct! Do not share similar stimulus features. Include an infinite number of stimuli. Comprise a large portion of our conceptual behavior. Question 24 1 / 1 pts Stimulus equivalence: Means that two stimuli share a number of common features. Is important to the development of stimulus discrimination. Correct! Means that a person responds accurately to untrained and nonreinforced stimulus- stimulus relations following training on different stimulus-stimulus relations. Requires testing of reflexivity, symmetry, and commonality. Question 25 1 / 1 pts The critical test for stimulus equivalence is: Reflexivity Symmet ry Correct! Transitivit y Commonal ity Question 26
1 / 1 pts Stimulus salience: Can affect the development of stimulus control. Refers to the prominence of the stimulus in the person's environment. Can depend on the sensory capabilities of the learner. Correct! All of the above. Question 27 0 / 1 pts Which of the following constitutes a prompt? Correct Answer Physically helping an individual perform a task. Providing a reinforcer to an individual for completing a step of a task. You Answered Praising an individual for his/her performance. All of the above. Question 28 0 / 1 pts Which is the BEST example of an arbitrary stimulus class? You Answered a picture of an old car, a new car, and a toy car a drawing of a short table, tall table, and a wooden table a painting of a young tree, old tree, and dying tree Correct Answer a painting of a sailor, the word man, and a picture of a man Question 29
e
Question 33 1 / 1 pts The crucial question for determining whether to continue an intervention is, "Is the program actually producing the skill development it claims to produce?" Correc t! True False Question 34 0 / 1 pts When direct and frequent measurements are not collected, which of the following judgment error(s) commonly result? Correct Answer ineffective interventions are continued effective programs are discontinued there are NO common judgement errors You Answered both a and b Question 35 0.25 / 1 pts Measurement of permanent products is desirable because: Correct! the behavior does not have to be observed as it occurs Correct Answer permanent products can be translated into numbers Correct Answer
Correc t! laten cy
duration time sampling interval Question 39 1 / 1 pts Measuring the presence or absence of behavior within intervals is called recording: durati on latency Correct ! interval event Question 40 1 / 1 pts Which observational recording procedure requires the observer to record whether the behavior was present or absent at any time during the time interval? Correct! partial- interval whole- interval duration momentary time sampling Question 41 1 / 1 pts Which observational recording procedure requires the presence of the behavior throughout the entire interval? partial-interval
whole- interval latency momentary time sampling Question 42 1 / 1 pts Which observational recording procedure OVER-estimates the occurrence of the behavior? Correct! partial- interval whole- interval duration event Question 43 1 / 1 pts Which observational recording procedure UNDER-estimates the occurrence of the behavior? Correct! whole- interval partial- interval duration latency Question 44 1 / 1 pts What recording procedure is concerned with recording the presence or absence of behaviors immediately following specified time intervals? duration interval
Correct!
