COMPLETE QUESTIONS AND ACCURATE
SOLUTIONS STUDY GUIDE
⫸ Contingency - Refers to dependent and/or temporal relations between
operant behavior an it's controlling variables.
⫸ Satiation - Repeated presentation of a reinforcer weakens its
effectiveness and for this reason the rate of responses declines.
⫸ Positive Reinforcement - A type of reinforcement in which the
presentation of the stimulus is contingent upon the response, resulting in
an increase in the future probability of that response
⫸ Negative Reinforcement - A type of reinforcement in which removal
of a stimulus is contingent on a response, resulting in an increase in the
future probability of that response.
⫸ Positive Punishment - A type of punishment in which stimulus
presentation is contingent on a response, resulting in the decrease of the
future probability of that response
⫸ Negative Punishment - A type of punishment in which stimulus
removal is contingent on a response, resulting in the decrease of the
future probability of that response.
,⫸ Establishing Operations (EO) - Increases motivation for something
and increases likelihood you will try to access that reinforcer
⫸ Abolishing Operations (AO) - Decreases motivation for something
and decreases likelihood you will try to access that reinforcer
⫸ Discriminative Stimulus (SD) - A stimulus in the presence of which a
particular response will be reinforced and in the absence of which that
response will not be reinf
⫸ Stimulus Control (Discriminative Control) - The tendency for the
target behavior to occur in the presence of the SD (b/c it was reinforced
in the past)
⫸ Discrimination Training - Teach the child to respond to/tell the
difference between two (or more) SDs.
⫸ Discrete Trial Training (DTT) - A specific method of teaching in
which a task is isolated and taught across multiple trials. A specific
opportunity (antecedent) is presented and a specific response is
expected. A consequence follows the response.
⫸ Fluency-Based Training - Taking an existing skill and increasing
accuracy and speed of skill performance in order to develop competence
, ⫸ Errorless Learning - Involves early and immediate prompting of the
target response so that the learner's response is sure to be correct.
⫸ Most-to-Least Prompting - Fading from one type of prompt to
another less intrusive prompt. Most assistance to least assistance.
⫸ Least-to-Most Prompting - Staring with a least intrusive prompt
possible and the client is not successful, therefore having to move to
more intrusive prompts until the client responds.
⫸ Chaining - A chain of sequence of SDs and responses where each
response in the sequence (expect for the last one) produces the SD for
the next response in the sequence; A complex bx that is comprised of
many single responses that occur in a specific sequence
⫸ Forward Chaining - Begin with the first SD-Response component in
the chain and then continue forward though the remaining SD-Response
components
⫸ Backward Chaining - Begin with the final step, or the last SD-
Response component, then move backwards towards the remaining
components
