EDF 6225 UPDATED EXAMS TEST PAPER
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS SURE A+
✔✔Time-out - ✔✔The immediate response-contingent withdrawal of opportunity to earn
positive reinforcement or the immediate loss of access to positive reinforcers for a
specified time; a form of negative punishment.
✔✔Non-exclusion - ✔✔student remains in the time-in setting.
✔✔Terminate Specific reinforcer contact - ✔✔variation whereby each occurrence of the
target behavior immediately stops an activity or sensory reinforcer.
✔✔contingent observation - ✔✔the person is repositioned in the existing setting so they
can observe what is going on but access to available reinforcers is lost.
✔✔Partition or Select Space Time-Out - ✔✔student remains in time-in setting, but their
view is restricted by a panel/cubicle, or select space is arranged to serve as a time-out
area.
✔✔Exclusion Time-out - ✔✔The physical separation of the participant from the time-in
environment when time-out goes into effect.
, ✔✔Fixed Ratio - ✔✔involve reinforcement after a certain number of responses have
been emitted. This schedule involves using a constant number of responses.
✔✔Variable Ratio - ✔✔schedules involve reinforcement after an average number of
responses have occurred.
✔✔Fixed Interval - ✔✔schedules involve reinforcing a behavior after a set time has
passed.
✔✔Variable Interval - ✔✔schedule involves reinforcing a behavior after an average of
time has passed.
✔✔Differential Reinforcement of High Rates (DRH) - ✔✔Reinforcement occurs only
after several responses at or above a pre-established rate. There are times when a
behavior is already in a student's repertoire, but you may want to increase the rate of
the behavior.
✔✔Differential Reinforcement of Low Rate (DRL) - ✔✔you reinforce gradually
decreasing rates of behavior. This intervention is ideal for a behavior you want to
reduce but not eliminate.
✔✔Differential Reinforcement of Diminishing Rates (DRD) - ✔✔Providing reinforcement
dependent upon the number of responses meeting or being below a predetermined limit
during a specified time frame.
✔✔Lag Schedule - ✔✔Schedule where the number of prior responses that the current
response must differ from before receiving reinforcement.
✔✔Progressive Schedule of Reinforcement - ✔✔Systematically thins each successive
reinforcement opportunity within the session independent of the participant's behavior.
✔✔Delay to Reinforcement - ✔✔Used to develop self-control.
Example: Do you want this now 3 points now? Or 6 points later?
✔✔Compound Schedules of Reinforcement - ✔✔The combination of two or more
schedules of reinforcement. They can occur simultaneously or successively. Can occur
with or without Discriminative stimuli.
✔✔concurrent schedules of reinforcement - ✔✔two or more contingencies of
reinforcement (elements) operate independently and simultaneously for two or more
behaviors.
✔✔Multiple Schedule of Reinforcement - ✔✔a compound schedule of reinforcement
consisting of two or more basic schedules of reinforcement (elements) that occur in an
