a situation in which a response exists in an individual's repertoire but cannot be emitted
- CORRECT ANSWER: Skinner describes problem-solving as
Accessibility; None of the above - CORRECT ANSWER: Private events differ from overt

All of the above... Be reflective of the local dialect; be socially appropriate; speak the

All of the above... Require the learner to orient toward the model; might have to be
taught to children with autism; could be taught using mirrors - CORRECT ANSWER:
Miller, Rodriguez, and Rourke (2015) indicated that imitative responses:
All of the above... THE BEHAVIOR OF AN ORGANISM IS ACCESSIBLE, can be
manipulated, and is generally out of reach in terms of observation - CORRECT
ANSWER: In comparing contingencies of reinforcement with contingencies of survival
(organism vs. species), what gives contingencies of reinforcement an edge in explaining
most behavior?
All of the above... Verbal is not equivalent to vocal; A gesture (e.g., waving a hand
towards one's body) can provide the listener with a stimulus that evokes the appropriate

followed by pleasant stimuli and that behaviors tend to decrease when followed by
negative stimuli; presented a "trial-and-error" type of explanation to the process involved
with escaping - CORRECT ANSWER: Thorndikes Law of Effect:
Both A and B... The learning history cannot be observed; It is difficult to isolate from
ontogenic contingencies. - CORRECT ANSWER: Why are phylogenic contingencies
hard to identify?
Both A and B... We do not have to assume any level of intrinsic interest; Variables in the
environment can be observed to increase changes in frequency of behavior -
CORRECT ANSWER: Skinner replaced the term "tendency" with rate of response
because:
