SPE 563 CORRECT EXAMS ANSWERS AND
QUESTIONS SET A+
✔✔Positive Reinforcement - ✔✔Refers to the delivery of something preferred that
increases the future rate of the behavior it follows.
✔✔Punishment - ✔✔Refers to a consequence stimulus that decreases the future rate of
the behavior it follows.
✔✔Classical Conditioning - ✔✔Refers to organisms learning through association
(pairing) of a stimulus that typically produces an automatic response in the organism
with a previously neutral stimulus, causing the neutral stimulus to trigger the same
automatic response.
✔✔Negative Punishment - ✔✔Refers to the removal of something preferred that
decreases the future rate of the behavior it follows.
✔✔Positive Punishment - ✔✔Refers to the delivery of something aversive that
decreases the future rate of the behavior it follows.
✔✔Negative Reinforcement - ✔✔Refers to the removal of something aversive that
increases the future rate of the behavior it follows.
✔✔Effective - ✔✔Requires that improvement of behavior be socially significant and
based on a visual analysis of data.
✔✔Analytic - ✔✔Requires that experimenters have used single subject research
designs to demonstrate a functional relation, or a believable demonstration of the
efficacy of an intervention.
✔✔Explanatory Fiction - ✔✔A fictitious variable, often another name for an observable
behavior, which implies an inner cause for the behavior.
