EDF 6223 Final Exam || 2026 (Actual Exam) Questions with verified Answers
(Latest Update 2026) UPDATE!!
Reflexivity - (ANSWER)A type of stimuli-to-stimulus relation in which the learner, without any prior
training or reinforcement, selects a stimulus that is the same as the sample.
A=A, B=B, and C=C
Symmetry - (ANSWER)A type of stimuli-to-stimulus relation in which the learner, without prior training
or reinforcement, demonstrates the reversibility of the sample stimulus and the comparison stimulus.
A=B, then B=A, or A=C, then C=A
Transitivity - (ANSWER)Describes the stimulus-stimulus relations that emerge as a product of training
two other stimulus-stimulus relations.
If A=B and A=C, then B=C
Stimulus equivalence - (ANSWER)Describes a behavior analytic approach to understanding and
establishing symbolic function.
Generativity - (ANSWER)The ability to create and understand an infinite number of meaningful
sentences and utterances.
Relational Frame Theory (RTF) - (ANSWER)A theory of derived stimulus relations proposing that such
relations are inherently verbal and that the accumulated experience with relational exemplars creates
generalized repertoires of relating.
derived stimulus relation - (ANSWER)The relation between two or more stimuli that is not directly
trained or taught and is not based solely on the physical properties of the stimuli.
Conditional Discrimination - (ANSWER)Performance in a match-to-sample procedure in which
discrimination between the comparison stimuli is conditional on, or depends on, the sample stimulus
present on each trial.

Conditional Discrimination 4-term contingency - (ANSWER)- sample stimulus (antecedent stimulus)
- correct comparison (antecedent stimulus)
- selection response
- reinforcer
equivalence test - (ANSWER)A probe for the emergence of untrained stimulus-stimulus relations that
evaluates both symmetry and transitivity simultaneously.
Mutual Entailment - (ANSWER)A relation in one direction between two stimuli (e.g., A to B) entails a
relation in the other direction (e.g., B to A)
(symmetry)
if you are told that A = B, you can derive that B = A. That is, the specified A = B relation mutually entails
the (symmetrical) B = A relation.
Combinatory Entailment - (ANSWER)A derived stimulus relation in which two or more stimulus relations
(trained or derived) mutually combine.
(transitivity)
if A is related to B and A is related to C, then B and C are mutually related in that context.
Class merger - (ANSWER)Independent equivalence classes are combined as the result of teaching a new
but interrelated conditional discrimination.
Class expansion - (ANSWER)A new member is added to a demonstrated stimulus equivalence class as
the result of teaching a new conditional discrimination.

Equivalence Class - (ANSWER)The collection of stimuli that evoke the same behavior.
Arbitrary stimulus class - (ANSWER)Stimuli that evoke the same response, but they do NOT share a
common stimulus feature. They do not physically look alike or share a relative relationship.
LIMITED number of stimuli
Developed through stimulus equivalence.
Equivalence Relations - (ANSWER)Relations that are reflexive, symmetric, and transitive.
Transformation of stimulus functions (Transformation of Function) - (ANSWER)Occur when the functions
of one stimulus alter or transform the functions of another stimulus in accordance with the derived
relation between the two, without additional training.
Generalized Operant - (ANSWER)An operant in which the form of the individual responses in the class
vary considerably
Contextual cues - (ANSWER)Establish what relations exists between stimuli
Allow(s) you to make an arbitrary relational responses between stimuli.
Formal Simularity - (ANSWER)When the antecedent (what the model presents) and the response (what
the learner emits) share the same sense mode - both are visual such as copying printed text, or both are
tactile such as imitating sign language, etc.
Model - (ANSWER)An antecedent stimulus with topographical similarity to the behavior that evokes
imitative behavior.
