Study Quiz
Define: Fixed Interval Schedule ANS Provide a reinforcer the first time the target behaviour occurs after an
interval of N length since the last reinforcement
Define: FI ANS Fixed Interval Schedule
What is the difference between FR5 and VR5? ANS With FR5, you reinforce every fifth event, while with VR5
you reinforce an average of every 5th event
What happens on an FI-2 minute schedule? ANS The behaviour is reinofrced only when it occurs after 2
minutes have elapsed after the last reinforcement
Define: VI
Define: Variable Interval Schedule ANS Variable Interval Schedule
Provide a reinofrcer the first time the target behaviour occurs after an interval, with the interval varying around an
average of N lengthVariable-interval schedule with a limited hold schedule requires only one resonsebut that
response must occur at an unpredictable period of time. A sports-relatedexample of this would be "hot-ball" in
soccer, which has a nearly 0-second hold Thisdrill involves six players to stand in a circle and one touch the ball to
another playerin the circle. The coach will randomly blow the whistle to say the drill is over, whenthe whistle is
blown, whichever player has the ball in their possession must do oneman-maker. This is a response that makes the
players practice their one-touch passessince they do not want to be stuck with the ball when the whistle is blown
they willdish the ball off as soon as they can.
Define: FD
Define: Fixed Duration Schedule ANS Fixed Duration Schedule
Provide a reinforcer after the target behaviour has been performed continuously for a period of N length
Define: VD
,Define: Variable Duration Schedule ANS Variable duration schedule
Provide a reinforcer after the target behaviour has been performed continuously for a period, with the period varying
around an average of N length
What are the drawbacks to flooding? ANS The therapy is necessarily anxiety producing and the there is little
room for error
Define: Flooding ANS Exposure to stimuli until no response occurs
What are you doing when you construct a hierarchy? ANS You are identifying situations that arouse fear and
arrange them in order from the least upsetting to the most upsetting
Who first devised systematic desensitization? ANS Joseph Wolpe
Define: Desensitization Training ANS Any form of counter conditioning training that reduces an inappropriate
negative response to an event
Define: Conditioned Response ANS The response to the conditioned stimulus following learning
Define: Counterconditioning ANS The use of Pavlovian conditioning to undo the adverse effects of earlier
conditioning
Define: Unconditioned Response ANS Any response that does not require learning
Define: Conditioned Stimulus ANS Any stimulus that when paired with an unconditioned response produces
that response after learning
Define: Unconditioned Stimulus ANS A stimulus that elicits a response but that does not need to be learned
Define: Sensitization Training ANS Any form of counterconditioning that reduces an inappropriate positive
response to an event
, occurs when repeated exposure or a single exposure to a stimulus inc. the intensity of response
ex: if you are walking down the hall right after watching a scary movie & your friend pops out and says Boo! you
will likely startle --> sensitizes other stimuli than the one being exposed to
Define: Aversion Therapy ANS The application of an aversive stimulus when paired with a stimulus that evokes
an inappropriate positive response
What are the rules for counterconditioning? ANS 1. Define the target behaviour2. Identify the stimuli to be
paired3. Pair the appropriate stimuli4. Monitor results
Why might changing someone else's behaviour be unethical? ANS It might be dehumanizing, cruel or
manipulative
What are the rules for changing behaviour ethically? ANS 1. Encourage the person whose behaviour is to be
changed to participate in the design of the intervention2. Avoid aversives whenever possible3. Consider the
alternatives to the planned intervention4. Monitor the results
What is the difference between a fixed interval and a fixed time schedule? ANS With fixed time schedules, the
reinforcer is delivered regardless of behaviour, while with fixed interval schedules, the behaviour must occur after
the passage of time in order to earn the reinforcer
Define: Maintenance Training ANS Intervention procedures that increase the likelihood that changes in a target
behaviour will persist when the intervention is ended
Define: Social Contract ANS The attempt by society to maintain high rates of certain behaviours and low rates
of other behaviours by means of cintingency ontracts
Define: Backup Reinforcer ANS The reinforcement that you get in exchange for a token in a token economy
Define: Token Economy ANS A form of contingency ontract usually involving a group of people in which the
reinforcers are tokens
Define: Contingency Contract ANS An agreement between two or more parties about what each is to do for the
other
