Answers)
All antecedent stimuli with the capacity to evoke imitation are potentially:
○ Planned echoic stimuli
○ Unplanned echoic stimuli

○ Unplanned models —Answer: Unplanned models
When a model and the behavior physically resemble each other and are in the same sense
mode, this is known as:
○ Formal similarity
○ Formal modeling

After a model evokes an imitation, that behavior comes in contact with contingencies of:
○ Similarity
○ Antecedent control
○ Reinforcement
○ punishment —Answer: Reinforcement
A controlling relation between the behavior of a model and the behavior of the imitator is
inferred when a novel model evokes a similar behavior in the absence of a history of
reinforcement
○ True
○ False —Answer: True
