SOLUTION
◉ Three measurable dimensions of behavior. Answer: temporal extent,
temporal locus, repeatability
◉ behavior. Answer: any physical interaction between the organism and
their environment
◉ variable ratio. Answer: schedules of reinforcement involve the
delivery of reinforcers intermittently, which means "on average" every
so often, responses are reinforced
◉ fixed interval. Answer: schedules of reinforcement involve the
delivery of a reinforcer following an interval of time, such as every 5
min the first response will contact reinforcement
◉ fixed ratio. Answer: schedules of reinforcement involve the delivery
of a reinforcer at a fixed interval, such as every 5 independent responses
◉ variable interval. Answer: schedules of reinforcement involve the
delivery of a reinforcer following a variable delay from the last delivery
of the reinforcer
, ◉ Total task or whole task training. Answer: refers to teaching all of the
steps in a task analysis and providing reinforcement differential to
independence on any given step(s) in the task analysis
◉ DRO (differential reinforcement of other behavior). Answer: the
provision of reinforcement contingent upon any/all behaviors excluding
a specific behavior
◉ DRA (differential reinforcement of alternative behavior). Answer: the
provision of reinforcement contingent upon a specific behavior
occurring. typically, but not always, this is the same functional
reinforcer as a behavior that might be simultaneously targeted for
reduction
◉ DRH/DRL (differential reinforcement of higher or lower rates of
behavior). Answer: both procedures that depend on the inter-trial
interval of behavior. you are trying to reduce the rate of behavior,
however responses are only reinforced if a specific latency has occurred
since the last response
◉ DRI (differential reinforcement of incompatible behavior). Answer: a
type of reinforcement procedure where a behavior is incompatible with
another response placed on a schedule of reinforcement, whereas the
opposing response is placed on extinction or a lower schedule of
reinforcement. (ex: sitting in a chair vs standing upright)
◉ y-axis. Answer: when recording data on a line graph, on which axis
would you put the date?
