SPCE 609 QUIZ 3 CERTIFIED QUALITY QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS 2025/2026 ASSURED SUCCESS
As you are walking to class, you hear a classmate yell, "Give me
my water, you stupid vending machine!" This is most likely:
Extinction-induced aggression
Which of the following outcomes suggests that social exclusion
itself is found to trigger aggressive behavior?
Insulted participants in a study directed high levels of noise at
other participants, even when they knew the insult came from
someone else
Francine is disruptive to the class by talking to the students
around her. The classroom teacher asks Francine to move to the
far corner of the classroom, away from other students. This is an
example of:
Non-exclusionary timeout
An SΔ sets the occasion upon which a response is __________
reinforced.
Never
In operant conditioning, the antecedent stimulus paired with
reinforcement is called a/an __________.
SD
, A shaping procedure whereby control gradually changes from
one element to another is called __________.
Fading
We have an expert-written solution to this problem!
When an __________ is presented, the probability of a response
increases. When an __________ is presented, the probability of
response decreases.
SD; S-delta
From a behavior analysis standpoint, a failure to learn is most
likely caused by:
Problems with the contingency of reinforcement
When organisms respond in one setting and not another they are
__________. When they behave similarly, they are __________
across circumstances.
Discriminating; generalizing
One possible drawback of the errorless training method is:
When the reinforcement contingency is changed, the organism
often continues to respond based on their intial training
The operant procedure of fading involves:
Gradually changing the value or dimensions of a controlling
stimulus
