ANSWERS 2026 VERIFIED.
_____________is also called identity matching. This is the act of the subject matching the
primary stimulus to the target stimulus. Showing a picture of a bird and the child saying
"bird."ANS reflexivity
_____________ refers to the two-way relationship of matching. For example, show a picture of
a bird and say "bird." Point to the picture of the bird, and the subject says
"bird."ANS symmetry
_____________ occurs when the equation if A = B and if B = C, then A = C. In other words one
stimulus is matched to a second stimulus. The second stimulus is matched to the third stimulus.
By this relationship, the subject learns that the first stimulus and third stimulus are also
matching. For example, if you say "bird" and show a child a picture of a bird, then you show a
picture of a bird and match it to a real bird in a cage, the relationship of saying bird for the
caged animal is acquired.ANS transitivity
Who is credited with much of the pioneering research in stimulus
equivalence?ANS Murray Sidman
Matching to sample procedure arranges a four-term contingency. Sample stimulus (antecedent
stimuli) Correct comparison (antecedent stimuli) Selection Response Reinforcer The
, performance produced by this four-term contingency is known as?ANS conditional
discrimination
NAME A TYPE OF NONEQUIVALENCE RELATIONANS distinction relations, spatial and
temporal relations, causal relations
What are the two types of models that are part of imitation?ANS planned and unplanned
Which one of these is not a condition for imitation? Immediacy; formal similarity; Mirroring; or
Model producing the controlling responseANS mirroring
With an understanding of the imitation process, applied behavior analysts can use imitation as
an intervention to: a.) Eliminate Old Behaviors b.) Evoke New behaviors c.) Create teaching
sequences d.) Reinforce appropriate behaviorsANS b.) Evoke New behaviors
The controlling variable for an imitative behavior is: a.) An operative behavior b.)An imitative
response chain c.) A model d.) A pre-taskANS c.) A model
Learning to purchase a soda from a vending machine by first watching someone else purchase a
soda would be an example of: a.) Planned echoic stimuli b.) Unplanned echoic stimuli c.)
Planned models d.) Unplanned modelsANS d.) Unplanned models
When a child picks up a fork immediately after observing her father pick up a fork, this imitative
behavior has: a.) Planned similarity b.) Unplanned similarity c.) Formal similarity d.) Informal
similarityANS c.) Formal similarity
Regardless of the behavior modeled, the objective of imitation training is for the learner to do
what? a.) What the model does b.) What the trainer asked or commanded c.) What behavior fits
the situation d.) What behavior will receive reinforcementANS a.) What the model does
