SPE 526- MODULE 1 SET 2
QUESTIONS AND CORRECT
ANSWERS
BEHAVIOR CHANGE TACTIC ✅✅ANSW-a research-based, technologically consistent method for
changing behavior that has been derived from one or more basic principles of behavior and that
possesses sufficient generality across subjects, settings and/or behaviors to warrant its codification
and dissemination
CONDITIONED PUNISHER ✅✅ANSW-A previously neutral stimulus change that functions as a
punisher because of prior pairing with one or more other punishers.
conditioned reflex ✅✅ANSW-A learned stimulus-response functional relation consisting of an
antecedent stimulus (e.g. sound of refrigerator door opening) and the response it elicits (e.g
salivation); each person's repertoire of conditioned reflexes is the product of his or her history of
interactions with the environment (ontogeny).
CONDITIONED REINFORCER ✅✅ANSW-A stimulus or event that has acquired reinforcing value by
being associated with a primary reinforcer; also called a secondary reinforcer.
conditioned stimulus (CS) ✅✅ANSW-in classical conditioning, an originally irrelevant stimulus
that, after association with an unconditioned stimulus (US), comes to trigger a conditioned response.
CONSEQUENCE ✅✅ANSW-WHATEVER EVENT THAT IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWS A BEHAVIOR
CONTINGENCY ✅✅ANSW-THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN TWO EVENTS, ONE BEING
"CONTINGENT" OR A CONSEQUENCE OF THE OTHER EVENT. ABA SEES ALL BEHAVIOR AS A
RESPONSE TO AN ANTECEDENT AND DRIVEN BY THE CONSEQUENCES.
Contingency-Shaped Behavior ✅✅ANSW-behavior that develops because of its immediate AND
DIRECT consequences
CONTINGENT ✅✅ANSW-dependent
, antecedent ✅✅ANSW-A STIMULUS IN THE ENVIRONMENT THE PRODUCES BEHAVIOR IN AN
INDIVIDUAL ORGANISM
AUTOMATIC REINFORCEMENT ✅✅ANSW-Reinforcement that occurs independent of the social
mediation of others (e.g., scratching an insect bite relieves the itch).
automaticity of reinforcement ✅✅ANSW-behavior is modified by its consequences irrespective
of the person's awareness. Person doesn't have to know that a consequence has occurred.
AVERSIVE STIMULUS ✅✅ANSW-an event that an organism will avoid
BEHAVIOR ✅✅ANSW-observable actions of ANY INDIVIDUAL LIVING ORGANISM
DEPRIVATION ✅✅ANSW-THE ABSENCE OF REDUCTION OF A REINFORCER FOR A PERIOD OF
TIME.
DISCRIMINATED OPERANT ✅✅ANSW-a behavior that occurs more frequently under some
antecedent conditions than it does in others
Discriminative Stimulus (SD) ✅✅ANSW-A stimulus in the presence of which a particular response
will be reinforced or punished
environment ✅✅ANSW-the surroundings or conditions in which a person, animal, or plant lives
or operates.
EXTINCTION ✅✅ANSW-the diminishing of a conditioned response; occurs in classical conditioning
when an unconditioned stimulus (US) does not follow a conditioned stimulus (CS); occurs in operant
conditioning when a response is no longer reinforced.
HABITUATION ✅✅ANSW-tendency of the brain to stop attending to constant, unchanging
information
higher-order conditioning ✅✅ANSW-ESTABLISHING A CONDITIONED STIMULUS BY PAIRING A
NEUTRAL STIMULUS WITH AN ALREADY ESTABLISHED CONDITIONED STIMULUS
