Psychology 310 Final Exam || All Correct.
applications of behavior modification correct answers classroom management, developmental
disabilities, animal training, severe psychological disorders, medical and health care, health and
wellness, business and industry, community behavior analysis, sports psychology/exercise
science
functional assessment correct answers determines the function of the target behavior...WHY is
the person/animal engaging in the behavior?
experimental functional analysis correct answers involves the manipulation of the environmental
conditions to demonstrate a functional relationship between the antecedents and consequences
and the behavior in question
experimental design correct answers we want to be able to say that the behavior change was due
to the treatment
ABAB design correct answers alternate between baseline and treatment phases when collecting
data
multiple baseline across behaviors correct answers 2 behaviors in the same person in which the
topography of behaviors is different
multiple baseline across situations correct answers same behavior, but different settings
multiple baseline across individuals correct answers same behavior, but different people
changing criterion design correct answers successively changing the criterion (goal) required for
reinforcement
internal validity correct answers if the independent variable (treatment) causes a change in the
dependent variable (behavior)
interobserver agreement correct answers we can calculate the agreement between 2 observers on
a set of data which gives us an idea of accuracy.
count the total # of behaviors recorded, divide them, and multiply by 100
point-by-point agreement correct answers looks at each behavior (or interval) and calculates
agreement by looking at agreements and disagreements
reinforcement correct answers some stimulus/ event that when provided contingent on a
behavior, will increase the future frequency of that behavior
conditioned reinforcer correct answers established through pairing with other reinforcers.
example: ice cream truck song
, generalized conditioned reinforcer correct answers tokens, praise, and money
premack principle correct answers high probability behaviors can be used to reinforce low
probability behaviors.
example: using "Netflix" to reinforce going to the gym
positive reinforcement correct answers adding a reinforcer that will result in an increase in the
future frequency of a behavior.
Ex: John puts his toy in the box and gets a starburst
negative reinforcement correct answers increasing behavior by removing something...NOT THE
SAME THING AS PUNISHMENT
escape conditioning correct answers immediate, response-contingent REMOVAL of an aversive
condition that increases the future frequency of a behavior.
Ex.: alarm beeps so you turn it off to avoid the beeping sound
avoidance conditioning correct answers immediate, response-contingent PREVENTION of an
aversive condition that increases the future frequency of a behavior.
Ex: alarm is going to beep so you turn off the alarm so it wont beep.
conditioned aversive stimuli correct answers behavior may change, but the stimuli (or people) in
the environment may become CAS
sick social cycle correct answers in escaping the perpetrator's aversive behavior, the victim
unintentionally reinforces that aversive behavior
punishment correct answers will DECREASE the future frequency of a behavior
positive punishment correct answers adding something after the behavior...immediate response-
contingent presentation of an aversive condition that decreases the future frequency of behavior
that preceded it
negative punishment correct answers taking something away after the behavior...immediate
response-contingent removal of a pleasant condition that decreases the future frequency of the
behavior that preceded it
conditioned punisher correct answers stimuli associated with the punisher.
Ex: potty training, married couples, coaches.
extinction correct answers withholding the consequence that previously maintained a behavior,
NOT just ignoring the behavior
extinction burst correct answers a temporary increase in the frequency of the behavior
