Which of the following behavior was due to stimulus control?
A- making tea when there is a pot of boiling water
B- continuous hand flapping no matter where and when
C- shivering when the wind blows
D- all options show stimulus control - ANSWER A- making tea when there is a
pot of boiling water
Which of the following are the requirements to form stimulus control?
A- two stimuli
B- two consequences
C- two response
D- stimulus control requires two stimuli and differential consequences -
ANSWER D- stimulus control requires two stimuli and differential
consequences
The phenomenon in which behavior change was due to the correlation between
presenting or removing an antecedent stimulus and the consequences that the
behavior produces is __________.
A- reinforcement
B- punishment
C- extinction
,D- stimulus control - ANSWER D- stimulus control
Which of these is an SD?
A- sweating after eating a chili pepper
B- turning on the lights after sunset
C- retracting hands after touching a hot pot
D- none of these is an SD - ANSWER D- none of these is an SD
Sweating after eating chili pepper and retracting hands after touching a hot pot
should be an unconditioned response -unlearned and not maintained by a
reinforcer in this case.
The sunset/darkness is not correlated with the reinforcer - light, and therefore,
cannot be an SDfor turning on the light which produces light. Sunset is best
conceptualized as an MO that increases the value of a reinforcer - we will discuss
this later in this module.
Thus, none of these is an SD.
Which of these can abate a response?
A- SD
B- SDP
C- s-delta
D- both SDP and s-delta abate responses - ANSWER D- both SDP and s-delta
abate responses
, Which of the following can result in stimulus control?
A- responses under SD would produce reinforcement while responses under s-
delta would produce extinction
B- responses under SD and s-delta would both produce reinforcement
C- responses under neither SD nor s-delta would both produce reinforcement
D- responses under SD would produce extinction while responses under s-delta
would produce reinforcement - ANSWER A- responses under SD would
produce reinforcement while responses under s-delta would produce extinction
Establishing operations:
A- are environmental variables
B- only affect current behavior change
C- cannot change the function of behavior
D- all are correct - ANSWER D- all are correct
Assuming the following scenarios include motivating operations, which of these is
an AO?
A- Mom repeatedly gave her child an iPad during flight in order to avoid screaming
and crying. After the plane had landed, her child stopped asking for iPad even
when iPad was presented to him
B- Mom repeatedly gave her child an iPad during flight in order to avoid screaming
and crying. After the plane had landed, her child continued asking for iPad when
iPad was presented to him.
C- Mom did not let her child play games on her iPad for a week before the flight.
After boarding the flight, her child immediately asked for the iPad when him mom
presented him the iPad. He also spent more time on the iPad.
