Sometimes the principal in your school visits classrooms and passes out
"caught being good passes" to random students she observes engaging in
appropriate behavior. The students can use the passes to get extra recess once
a month. The principal walking into the classroom is an example of: - ANSWER-
discriminative stimulus
____________ increases or decreases the value/effectiveness of a reinforcer: -
ANSWER-motivating operation
An antecedent stimulus that is correlated with the availability of reinforcement
is referred to as... - ANSWER-discriminative stimulus
you are teaching one of your students to put away all of his belongings. You
want him to hang up his coat, put his book bag in his cubby, put his lunch box
in the bin and turn his homework folder on your desk in that order. You help
him with all of these tasks except for putting away his homework folder. This is
an example of... - ANSWER-backward chaining
one of your students mispronounces the word "picture" a lot. You want to
pronounce this word correctly. You have been working with him each day, each
time he pronounces the word "picture" closer to the actual word you provide
him with reinforcement. This is an example of... - ANSWER-shaping
,________________ refers to response classes that are closer in form to the
terminal behavior - ANSWER-successive approximations
One of your students has trouble zipping her coat. You are teaching her to zip
up the coat. You have them grab both zipper sides and provide reinforcement,
you then put both sides in the clasp and pull the zipper up. This is an example
of... - ANSWER-forward chaining
the process by which one systematically and differentially reinforces successive
approximations to a terminal behavior is referred to as... - ANSWER-shaping
One of your students brings pizza lunchables to school for lunch. You noticed
that he normally eats all the parts separately. You want to teach him how to
make the individual pieces of pizza. You have him put sauce on the pizza first
and reinforce that behavior then you help him put the rest of the toppings on.
This is an example of a... - ANSWER-forward chain
the type of chaining procedure in which the training completes or manually
guides all steps except the last one is referred to as... - ANSWER-backward
chaining
one of your students is learning how to complete complex math problems.
Each time they get closer to using the formula correctly. This process is referred
to as... - ANSWER-shaping
a series of behaviors when emitted in proper sequence produces a complex
action or result is referred to as... - ANSWER-behavior chain
When maggie is presented with challenging work she doesn't want to do, she
becomes disruptive (e.g. yells and swears). Maggie's teacher sends her to time
, out for her disruptive behavior (which immediately stops). Each subsequent
time Maggie is presented with challenging work, she becomes disruptive.
Maggie's disruptive behavior is likely maintained by: - ANSWER-negative
reinforcement
In order to change Maggie's disruptive behavior, the teacher decides to
implement escape extinction. This means: - ANSWER-she will not allow maggie
to leave the task
When Maggie's teacher implements escape extinction. Which of the following
is likely to occur first? - ANSWER-an immediate increase of Maggie's disruptive
behavior.
Over the course of the next ten days, Maggie's disruptive behavior has
gradually decreased to almost acceptable levels. But then, without being
reinforced, Maggie has a student and temporary increase in her disruptive
behavior. This is called: - ANSWER-spontaneous recovery
sensory extinction should be used for inappropriate behavior maintained by: -
ANSWER-automatic reinforcement
continued responding during extinction is termed: - ANSWER-resistance to
extinction
sensory extinction is likely to be most effective for decreasing which of the
following behaviors? - ANSWER-nail-biting
A prerequisite skill for imitation is... - ANSWER-attending
