SPCE 609 quiz 3
1. For learned helplessness, pre-exposure to escape the
helpless- ness brought on by aversive stimulation:: Blocks; inescapable
2. In terms of dropping out, Sidman (2001) indicates that one basic
element is:: Escape due to negative reinforcement
3. Consider the following example: "Paige got a ticket for littering. As a
result, she has to pick up trash along the highway for at least 20 hours."
This is an example of .: overcorrection
4. The response cost procedure is an example of .: negative
punish- ment
5. In Coercion and Its Fallout, Sidman (2001) argues that coercion consists
of both:: Punishment and negative reinforcement
6. Considering evidence gained by experimental behavior analysis, introduc-
ing spanking at a low intensity and gradually increasing intensity::
1/2
, Eventually creates a situation where an unreasonable intensity is
necessary
7. Punishers that have to be used repeatedly indicate:: That they are
ineffective and should be discontinued
8. Azrin, Holz, and Hake's (1963) study on punishment and food deprivation
in pigeons demonstrated that:: The more food deprived the pigeons were,
the lower the efficacy of the punisher
9. Giving an organism another way to obtain reinforcement will:: Make
punish- ment more effective
10.If an organism emits an alternate behavior, that behavior can be seen
as a(n) if it occurs during punishment, and a(n) if it
prevents punishment.: Escape behavior; avoidance behavior
11.Which of the following environmental changes most influences
respond- ing during a timeout from avoidance procedure?: The reduction
in response effort during the timeout period
2/2
