ANSWERS 2025/2026
Reinforcement - CORRECT ANSWER -A stimulus or event that follows the behavior and results in

Positive Reinforcement - CORRECT ANSWER -Increasing behaviors by presenting positive
reinforcers. Addition of stimuli to increase positive or wanted bx.



Negative Reinforcement - CORRECT ANSWER -A response that tends to discourage a particular
behavior from being repeated. Removing an item or stimuli or removing a response.



Unconditioned Reinforcers - CORRECT ANSWER -A stimulus change that can increase the future
frequency of behavior without prior pairing with any other form of reinforcement. Ex: Food,
water.



Conditioned Reinforcers - CORRECT ANSWER -A stimuli that acquires reinforcing power through
association with primary reinforcers.

paired with a variety of other reinforcers and which is effective for a wide range of behaviors.
Ex: Money,



Differential Reinforcements - CORRECT ANSWER -The perceived or actual consequences of a
behavior.



DRA - CORRECT ANSWER -Differential Reinforcement of Alternative Behavior. Reinforcer is
delivered when a response occurs for a fixed amount of time. The response is chosen because it
is an alternative to the target behavior but not necessarily incompatible.

, DRO - CORRECT ANSWER -Differential Reinforcement of Other Behavior. Reinforcer is delivered
when a response does not occur for a fixed (or varied in VDRO) amount of time.
