SPE 526 MOD 7 Comp Check Test
With Solution
In order to teach manding to Cynthia, the teacher did not give Cynthia juice
for a whole week. When juice was presented, Cynthia extended her hand to
the juice. The teacher immediately said, "I want juice." After Cynthia said the
same, the teacher praised her, "good job saying that. It is not the time for
juice though." In this example:
All are correct.
a nonverbal response that is evoked by the MO was present.
(HINT: Given Cynthia "wanted" the juice by extending her hand to the juice,
did withholding juice for a whole week increase the value of juice?)
the teacher did not deliver the specific reinforcer, teaching manding may not
be successful.
(HINT: What should be the reinforcer for a mand?)
Cynthia's verbal response was at least part echoic.
(HINT: Did Cynthia echo the model given by the teacher?) - ANSWER All are
correct
The law says, "a person shall not drive a vehicle on a highway at a speed
greater 65 miles per hour." Doug drove his car at 70 miles per hour on the
highway and got a fine. Now, he drives at 60 miles per hour. In this example,
,______________________.
Doug driving at 60 miles per hour is a rule-governed behavior because the
law mandates a speed limit below 65 miles per hour.
(HINT: Doug driving at 60 mph happened after the fine.)
the fine functioned as a negative reinforcer for driving at 70 miles per hour.
(HINT: Reinforcement increases the future frequency of the behavior.)
Doug driving at 70 miles per hour is likely contingency-shaped.
(HINT: Tricky option! Considering the law prohibits driving faster than 65
mph, could driving at 70 mph be rule-governed? If not, given that all operant
behavior is either contingency-shaped or rule-governed, what could have
shaped this behavior?)
, Doug driving at 70 mil - ANSWER Doug driving at 70 miles per hour is likely
contingency-shaped.
Question 3
pts
Which of the following will most likely evoke a mand?
(HINT: a mand is evoked by an EO.)
A salient item that appeared in front of the speaker.
(HINT: Can the salient item act as an EO? Or is the verbal behavior more likely
evoked by the item itself?)
Quick rising temperature in the room where the speaker is in.
(HINT: Is rising temperature an EO?)
