ABA 622 MIDTERM CERTIFICATION
PREPARATION GUIDE
◉ Prompts are stimuli that indicate that the availability of a
reinforcer and whether a response will result in reinforcement.
Answer: false, this is the sd
◉ The term _________ is an omnibus (comprehensive) term to cover
the term establishing operation (EO) and abolishing operation (AO).
Answer: motivating operations
◉ An EO can alter the frequency or probability of all correlated
behavior that has been reinforced by that stimulus, object, or event,
and we call this the...
Answer: behavior-altering effect
◉ The effect that can produce either an increase or decrease in the
reinforcing effectiveness of some stimulus, object, or event is the:
Answer: value-altering effect
◉ Motivating operations (MOs) and SDs are both
Answer: Antecedent variables that alter the current frequency of
some behavior
,◉ The type of motivating operation accomplishes what the original
unconditioned motivating operation that it was paired with e.g.
getting hungry and eating at noon, and then the clock striking noon
establishes food as a reinforcer.
Answer: surrogate CMO
◉ This type of conditioned motivating operation occurs when a
neutral stimulus like a light is paired with a shock (unconditioned
motivating operation for escape). When the light precedes the shock
it acquires MO effectiveness from the shock pairing and results in
AVOIDANCE
.
Answer: Reflexive CMO
◉ This type of conditioned motivating operation makes something
else effective as a reinforcer because of its relation or association
with an unconditioned reinforcer.
Answer: Transitive CMO
◉ This type of motivating operation has value-altering effects that
are not learned
Answer: Unconditioned motivating operation
, ◉ The term _____ refers to environmental conditions or stimulus
changes that exist or occur prior to the behavior of interest.
Answer: antecedant
◉ A behavior that is elicited by antecedent stimuli and is "brought
about" by a stimulus that precedes it is:
Answer: respondent
◉ A behavior that occurs more frequently under some antecedent
conditions than it does in others is called a(n):
Answer: discriminative stimulus
◉ _______ behavior is elicited by antecedent stimuli.
Answer: respondent
◉ Operant behavior is selected by its:
Answer: consequenes
◉ operant behavior
Answer: behavior that operates on the environment, producing
consequences
◉ respondent behavior
