2nd Ed M5 Q&A
Extinction - (correct answer)The process by which a previously reinforced behavior is
weakened by withholding reinforcement
Extinction burst - (correct answer)A sudden, temporary increase in the target behavior
at the start of an extinction procedure (2 words)
Punishment - (correct answer)An environmental change that follows a response, and
decreases the future frequency of that behavior
Positive punisher - (correct answer)A consequence that decreases the future frequency
of the response it follows. The specific stimulus being added in positive punishment.
Positive punishment - (correct answer)Addition or magnification (increase) of a specific
stimulus following a response that results in a decreased likelihood of that response in
the future (2 words)
Appetitive - (correct answer)A general term in ABA for a stimulus or condition that is
pleasant or preferred
Appetitive - (correct answer)If this type of stimulus or stimulus conditions follows a
response it may strengthen that response (function as reinforcement)
Appetitive - (correct answer)If this type of stimulus or stimulus condition is removed
following a response it may weaken that response (function as punishment)
Negative punisher - (correct answer)A stimulus that, when removed following a
response, results in a weakening of that response (2 words)
