EDSE 622 FINAL EXAM QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
WITH VERIFIED SOLUTIONS 100% CORRECT
Antecedents - ANSWER Events leading up to a behavior
Behavior - ANSWER Any actions an organism does (movement)
Behavior analysis - ANSWER The science of what causes behavior to occur
Behavior hierarchies - ANSWER Rankings of behavior by their frequency
Clever Hans effect - ANSWER When behavior is elicited by subtle and specific
stimuli; it appears that the organism is producing novel behavior
Conditioned reinforcer - ANSWER Stimulus that functions as a reinforcer
because it is paired with another reinforcer
Consequences - ANSWER Events occurring after a behavior
Discrimination learning - ANSWER Learning to respond in the presence of
some stimuli and not others
Discriminative stimuli - ANSWER Stimuli that signal reinforcement or lack
thereof
,Elicited - ANSWER Responses caused by stimuli
Emitted - ANSWER Responses caused by other means than stimuli
Evoked - ANSWER Responses that occur because of Establishing Operations
Generalized reinforcer - ANSWER Stimulus that is conditioned by several
primary reinforcers
Motivating Operations - ANSWER Conditions that influence the effectiveness of
a contingency
Operant Learning - ANSWER Class of responses that all have the same
consequences
Pavlov - ANSWER Physiologist who discovered respondent learning
Reinforcement - ANSWER Process
Reinforcers - ANSWER Stimuli that are presented
Respondent Learning - ANSWER Learning that occurs when a previously
neutral stimulus is paired with an unconditioned stimulus
Responses - ANSWER Properties of the behavior
, Stimuli - ANSWER Properties of the environment
Taxonomy - ANSWER Way of organizing procedures and phenomena
Thorndike - ANSWER First researcher to manipulate consequences of behavior
Verbal governance - ANSWER When behavior occurs based upon what others
or the self says
Artificial selection - ANSWER Selective breeding based upon certain
characteristics
Below threshold - ANSWER Stimulus is too weak to be detected
Cultural selection - ANSWER Memetic selection,passed among individuals
Difference threshold - ANSWER Point at which the signals of two stimuli are
separate enough to be detected as different
Evolution - ANSWER Changes that happen to species over time
JABA - ANSWER Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis
