1. A is behavior that is elicited by a biologically relevant
stimulus while a/an is behavior controlled by its
conse- quences.: reflex; operant
2. According to Baer, Wolf, and Risley (1968), what is the difference
between basic and applied behavior analysis?: Basic research is likely to
look at any behavior and and variable, and applied research looks at
variables that could improve behavior
3. Learning refers to:: the acquisition of behavior; the change in
behavior as a result of events; the maintenance of behavior
4. The behavior of an organism:: Is everything an organism does,
including think- ing and feeling
5. Analysis of behavior becomes experimental when it involves:: The
manipu- lation of a condition to see how behavior is affected
1/2
, 6. Which of the following statements best describes the goals of behav-
ior analysis?: Describe the principles and rules of behavior, apply
them across species, and develop technologies for behavior change
7. Applied behavior analysis is:: The use of behavior principles to solve
practical problems
8. In operant conditioning, a stimulus that reliably precedes an operant
re- sponse (SD) is said to:: Set the occasion for the response
9. Which of the following is not an example of operant conditioning::
Flinching slightly when the nurse tells you that they are about to give
