Antecedent Control Exam
Questions and Answers 100%

natural discriminative stimulus - CORRECT ANSWER-A discriminative stimulus
indigenous to the natural environment; not one artificially introduced.
conditional discriminations - CORRECT ANSWER-A form of complex stimulus
control in which the role of one discriminative stimulus is conditional on the
presence of other discriminative stimuli (sometimes a motivating operation).
Involves a four-term rather than a three-term contingency: conditional stimuli,
antecedent stimulus, responses (behaviors), and consequences.
matching-to-sample - CORRECT ANSWER-A form of conditional discrimination
which entails an individual selecting from two or more alternatives (e.g., objects,
figures, letter or sounds) the stimulus that corresponds to a sample. Can occur
simultaneously or following a delay.
, stimulus discrimination - CORRECT ANSWER-A form of tight stimulus control
in which responding is restricted to certain stimulus situations: those in which the
response has been reinforced, and not to those in which it has not been reinforced.
The ability to identify under which conditions, a behavior will lead to
reinforcement, or not.
scatter plot - CORRECT ANSWER-A graphic depiction which records instances
of the behavior of concern by plotted according to when (and by implication
where) they are emitted. Time of day is plotted on the ordinate (y-axis); days on the
abscissa (x-axis) Used to reveal elusive environmental stimuli that may be
influencing the behavior.
stimulus class - CORRECT ANSWER-A group of antecedent stimuli that have a
common effect on an operant class. Group members tend to evoke or abate the
same behavior or response class
sequencing method - CORRECT ANSWER-A method for identifying antecedent
stimuli controlling a response - by trying first one, then combining two, three, (and
so on) potential SD to determine which one or combination evokes or abates the
behavior.
three-term contingency - CORRECT ANSWER-A phrase used to describe the
interdependency among antecedents, behavior and consequences.
