EDF 6225 Foundations of ABA Final Exam Questions
and Answers- University of West Florida
conditioned punisher - (answers)A previously neutral stimulus change that
functions as a punisher because of prior pairing with one or more other
punishers.
unconditioned punisher - (answers)A stimulus that, usually, is punishing without
any prior learning.
conditioned reinforcer - (answers)a stimulus that has acquired reinforcing
properties through prior learning
Unconditioned Reinforcer - (answers)A stimulus that, usually, is reinforcing
without any prior learning.
Side effects of punishment - (answers)May lead to an increase in other
undesirable behavior.
Can lead to problems such as escape & avoidance, emotional outbursts, and
behavioral contrast.
Reinforcer - (answers)any event that strengthens the behavior it follows
Punisher - (answers)A stimulus change that decreases the future frequency of
behavior that immediately precedes it.
Hernstein's Matching Law - (answers)suggests that when different schedules of
reinforcement are available at the same time for different behaviors, individuals
will distribute their behavior according to the relative rates of reinforcement
available for each option.

antecedent, behavior, consequence - (answers)The three-term contingency is
made of these three terms:
antecedent - (answers)is the environmental conditions or stimulus changes that
exist or occur prior to the behavior of interest.
behavior - (answers)An organism's interaction with the environment.
consequence - (answers)is anything immediately following a behavior in which
we are interested. Makes the behavior more or less likely to happen in the
future.
Discriminative Stimulus (SD) - (answers)is the antecedent stimulus that has
stimulus control over behavior because the behavior was reliably reinforced in
the presence of that stimulus in the past. It signals the availability of a particular
reinforcer for a particular behavior.
Motivating Operation (MO) - (answers)influences the effectiveness of a
reinforcer or punisher while also influencing the frequency of the specific
behavior.
Premack Principle - (answers)Some professionals will also refer to this
technique as "First/Then", "If/Then", or "High Probability/Low Probability."
Automatic Reinforcement - (answers)reinforcement that occurs independent of
the social mediation of others.
when a person's behavior creates a favorable outcome without the involvement
of another person.
Response - (answers)An action or change in behavior that occurs as a result of a
stimulus.
