2nd Ed M12 Q&A
1) Skill deficits (can't do also acceptable)
2) Motivational issue (won't do also acceptable) - (correct answer)Two main problems
with behavior
(4 words)
Discrimination - (correct answer)Responding differently to different stimuli as the result
of experience with these stimuli
Stimulus control - (correct answer)Demonstrated when an antecedent stimulus reliably
exerts control over a response (2 words)
Discrimination training - (correct answer)Training session during which responses are
reinforced in the presence of a specific stimulus and not in the absence of that stimulus
(2 words)
Simultaneous discrimination - (correct answer)One general type of discrimination
training in which both the SD and SΔ stimulus conditions are presented to the learner at
the same time (2 words)
Successive discrimination - (correct answer)One general type of discrimination training
in which only one antecedent (SD or SΔ) is presented to the learner in a given trial (2
words)
Shaping - (correct answer)Using reinforcement to gradually change the topography of a
response or a response dimension (rate, duration, magnitude)
Prompt - (correct answer)An extra (supplementary) antecedent stimulus that is added to
the environment to occasion a response
