A pigeon is presented with three horizontal keys to peck. The middle key is illuminated with a color
to start the trial. A peck on the illuminated key in the center turns that key off and lights up the two
keys located on either each side of the center key. The right key is illuminated with a color that
matches that of the middle key, the left key is illuminated with a different color. A peck to the key that
has the matching color (right key) produces reinforcement. A peck to the key with the mismatched
color (left key) is not reinforced.
1
What are the keys called that appear on either side of the center key after the center key has been
pecked?
eliciting stimulus
sample stimulus
evocative stimulus
comparison stimuli
2
Arrange the response prompts in order from least to most amount of assistance.

A buzzer sounds and a rat presses a lever. A buzzer sounds and a dog salivates. Both performances
are under stimulus control, but the controlling functions are different.
What specific kind of stimulus is the buzzer sound for the dog salivating?
3 discriminative stimulus
reinforcer
conditioned stimulus
establishing operation
When a buzzer sounds occasionally and a rat receives a food pellet after a lever press when the
buzzer is sounding, but lever presses in the absence of the buzzer produces no food pellets, under
these conditions the sound of the buzzer is which type of stimulus?

stimulus delta
discriminative stimulus
stimulus prompt
neutral stimulus

This type of response prompt occurs when least-to-most response prompts
the behavior analyst gives the participant an
opportunity to perform the response with
the least amount of assistance on each trial.
The participant receives greater degrees of
assistance with each successive trial without
a correct response.

If a blue stimulus has a history of producing Answer 1:stimulus generalization
reinforcement in its presence, _________________
______________________ is more likely to occur in the
presence of a novel stimulus that is a lighter
shade of blue.
When a blue stimulus has a history of stimulus discrimination
producing reinforcement in its presence and
not in its absence and this results in a higher
rate of behavior in the presence of the blue
stimulus and not in its absence this is an
example of which of the following?
stimulus control
stimulus discrimination
stimulus generalization
response generalization
generalization response
