295 Multiple choice questions
Definition 1 of 295
a form of punishment in which the loss of a specific amount of reinforcement occurs, contingent
on an inappropriate behavior, and results in the decreased probability of the future occurrence of
the behavior
sequence effects
contrived contingency
overcorrection
response cost
Definition 2 of 295
schedules of reinforcement in which reinforcement is provided for each occurrence of the
behavior
differential reinforcement
contingencies of reinforcement
continuous schedules of reinforcement
ratio schedules
Definition 3 of 295
the extent to which a learner emits untrained responses that are functionally equivalent to the
trained target behavior
response generalization
establishing operations
positive reinforcement
experimental control
,Definition 4 of 295
a predictable change in behavior (DV) can be reliably produced by the systematic manipulation
of some aspect of the person's environment (IV)
internal validity
experimental design
reliability
experimental control
Definition 5 of 295
a behavior is followed immediately by the presentation of a stimulus and occurs more often in the
future as a result
negative reinforcement
negative punishment
progressive schedule of reinforcement
positive reinforcement
Definition 6 of 295
an environmental variable that leads to a decrease in reinforcing effectiveness
positive punishment
abolishing operation
multiple probe design
stimulus generalization
,Definition 7 of 295
the total environment where instruction occurs, including any aspects of the environment,
planned or unplanned, that may influence the learner's acquisition and generalization of the
target behavior
least-to-most prompts
most-to-least prompts
exclusion time-out
instructional setting
Term 8 of 295
calibration
the extent to which a measurement procedure yields the same results over time
a complex example of stimulus control that requires both stimulus generalization within a
class of stimuli and discrimination between classes of stimuli
overall improvement of the measurement system
dimension of ABA; changes should last over time
Definition 9 of 295
dimension of ABA; noticeable and reliable changes in target behavior
effective
generality
technological
analytic
, Definition 10 of 295
a science-based system for shaping behavior using positive reinforcement
unconditioned punisher
total count IOA
clicker-based training
unscored-interval IOA
Definition 11 of 295
a measure of how rates of response change over time
duration
rate
celeration
latency
Definition 12 of 295
used to measure continuous behaviors or behaviors that occur at such high rates that observers
have difficulty distinguishing one response from another but can detect whether the behavior is
occurring at any given time; target behavior must be exhibited for entire interval in order to be
counted; underestimates behavior
duration
whole interval recording
applied behavior analysis
momentary time sampling
