Luke threw toys at his peers during free play. When the teacher caught him doing this, she would take the toy that he threw and put it in a box that he couldn't access for the rest of the day. His behavior decreased. This is an example of: - *negative punishment (response cost) Feedback: This is negative punishment because something was removed and the behavior decreased as a result. Motivating operations increase the relative value of a particular reinforcer and also ------------- . - *increase the likelihood of any behavior that has produced that reinforcer in the past. Feedback: Motivating operations increase the relative value of a particular reinforcer and also increase the likelihood of any behavior that has produced that reinforcer in the past. What is not a variable of reinforcer effectiveness? - *Attractiveness Ratio schedules are based on --------------- and interval schedules are based on --------------. - *the number of responses, passage of time Jake yelled when he wanted music turned off and his parents would turn it off. One day, his parents decided to ignore the yelling. Jakes yelling initially increased then decreased over the next couple of days as they continued to ignore. What occurred? - *Extinction Burst Feedback: Positive reinforcement is the addition of some stimulus to increase a behaviors likelihood. ------------------ schedules of reinforcement are when only some of the responses are reinforced. - *Intermittent Hilary has autism and she likes to push buttons on her toys over and over again. After awhile, to her parent's satisfaction, the batteries wore out of the toy. Hillary stopped pushing the button on the toy. What decreased her behavior? - *Extinction Joshua cracked jokes during the movies he watched in history class every week. When he did this the teacher removed him from the class and had him sit in the library. Joshua stopped cracking jokes during the movies. This is an example of: - *time out Motivating operations variables in the environment that alter the relative value of a ------------------ at a particular time. - * reinforcer Reinforcement is any event that ------------- behavior and ----------------- behavior. - *follows; increases What precedes behavior? - *Antecedents What follows behavior? - *consequences When Kay talked to Nancy, she liked to complain about work. Nancy would listen and try to cheer her up by talking with her. The more Nancy talked with Kay the more she complained. By talking with Kay after she complained, Nancy used what principle? - *Positive reinforcement Identify two consequences: - *reinforcement and punishment Another way to conceptualize negative in negative reinforcement and negative punishment is: - *removal The field of Applied Behavior Analysis focuses on -------------- behavior. - *observable. Who was the founder of modern behaviorism? - *B.F. Skinner Jane rarely used her phone. Whenever her annoying coworker approaches her and she is on the phone her coworker walks away. Now Jane is always talking on the phone. What principle of behavior account for this increase? - *Negative reinforcement The definition of behavior is: - *any observable movement of a living thing. *dead man test Sue's teacher says she isn't motivated by anything. She shows little interest in toys, activities, or food. An exception appears to be one CD that she listens to exclusively. What can Sue's teacher do to broaden her reinforcement repertoire? - *Pair toys, food, and activities with the music she loves and then start to fade the music volume down. Feedback: By pairing new items with a known reinforcing item, the new items may start to acquire reinforcing properties as well. In Discrete Trial Instruction the reinforcer -------------- related to the material being taught and in Naturalistic Teaching Strategies the reinforcer ---------------- related to the material being taught. - *is not/ is The basic assumption of Naturalistic Teaching Strategies are all of the following Except.... - *Behavior should always be taught in a contrived environment, such as the classroom before it is taken into the environment where it naturally occurs. Which of the following is a benefit of NaTS? naturalistic teaching strategies - *Teaches when and how to use skills. *generalize to real world situations Which effective teaching procedure can be used in NaTS to maintain motivation? - *Use errorless teaching and varying tasks. True or False: Both Discrete Trial Instruction and Naturalistic Teaching Strategies are ESTABLISHED treatments for developmental disorders. - *True When certain parts of the environment impact our response, this is said to have -------------- over out responses. - *stimulus control When teaching a new skill you should ----------------. - *Use multiple stimuli Multiple exemplar training refers to ---------------------. - *using many different stimuli to teach a skill to promote generalization. True or False: What someone says they want is the best predictor of reinforce effectiveness. - *False
