common physical feature. The women's restroom signs are all different in their physical
features: one contains an English word, one contains the universal symbol for women, and the
other is a stylized female. The other examples are all feature stimulus classes, in that they share
common physical forms. - correct answer ✔✔Arbitrary Stimulus Class
reinforcing reponses in the presence of the discriminative stimulus and withholding
reinforcement in the presence of the stimulus deltas - correct answer ✔✔Stimulus
Discrimination
reinforcement and extinction - correct answer ✔✔Stimulus discrimination involves the behavior

operates directly on the response - correct answer ✔✔response prompt
operates on the antecedent task stimuli - correct answer ✔✔stimulus prompt
Provides a methodology for efficient teaching-expanding learners' skills far beyond what is
directly taught. - Stimulus equivalence should probably be the goal of all instruction. That is, if
we can teach learners a few related stimulus-stimulus relations (not stimulus-response
relations) and learners can put those together to broaden their learning well beyond that of
what was directly taught, then this is a very efficient form of teaching and should be viewed as
the "big prize" of education. This procedure has been studied in many areas of complex verbal
relations, including reading, language arts, and math. It is hardly a "theoretical construct that
has not been studied much." - correct answer ✔✔stimulus equivalence
,Occurs when the rate, latency, duration or amplitude of a response is altered in the presence of
an antecedent stimulus
EX: stop sign, green light, red light - correct answer ✔✔Stimulus Control
Occurs with stimuli that share similar physical properties with the controlling antecedent
stimulus. - correct answer ✔✔Stimulus Generalization
Evokes the same response, but they do not share a common stimulus feature.
EX: 50%, 1/2, .50 - correct answer ✔✔Arbitrary Stimulus Class
Arbitrary stimulus class training procedures to create stimulus equivalence among arbitrary
stimuli - correct answer ✔✔Matching to Sample
Emergence of accurate responding to untrained and non-reinforced stimulus-stimulus relations
following the reinforcement of responses to some stimulus-stimulus relations
Reflexivity, symmetry, transitivity - correct answer ✔✔Stimulus Equivalence
occurs when in the absence of training and reinforcement a response will select a stimulus that
is matched to itself. (A=A) - correct answer ✔✔Reflexivity
occurs with the reversibility of the sample stimulus and comparison stimulus (If A=B, then B=A)
EX: learner is taught when presented with the spoken word car, selects a car picture, when
presented with a picture of a car, selects spoken word car. - correct answer ✔✔Symmetry
The final and critical test for stimulus equivalence, (A=B=C) picture of car, spoken word car,
written word car - correct answer ✔✔Transitivity

correct answer ✔✔Purpose of Science
Description, Prediction, Control - correct answer ✔✔3 Levels of Scientific Understanding
Systematic observations that can be quantified and classified - correct answer ✔✔Description
Two events may regularly occur at the same time. This does not mean one causes the other.
EX: when the weather is hot, there are more drownings. This is a CORRELATION but we cannot
assume hot weather causes drowning. - correct answer ✔✔Prediction
Functional Relation. THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF SCIENTIFIC UNDERSTANDING. Experimental
demonstration that manipulating one event, results in another event. - correct answer

Determinism, Empiricism, Experimentation, Replication, Parsimony, Philosophical Doubt -
