100
Branch of behaviorism that studies all behavior, including private events.
What is Radical Behaviorsim
100
Antecedent-Behavior-Consequence
What is the three-term contingency
100
Occurs when a behavior is followed immediately by the presentation of a stimulus that increases the future frequency of the behavior in similar conditions
What is Positive Reinforcement
100
A stimulus in the presence of which a given behavior has not produced reinforcement in the past.
What is a Stimulus Delta
100
The verbal operant that involves requesting.
What is Mand
200
An attitude of science that requires us to first rule out simple, logical explanations for the phenomena being studied.
What is parsimony.
200
Behavior that is elicited.
What is respondent behavior
200
Engaging in a high-probability behavior contingent on the occurrence of a low-frequency behavior will function as reinforcement for the low-frequency behavior
What is the Premack Principle
200
The procedure by which we learn to emit a specific behavior in the presence of some stimuli, and not in the presence of other stimuli.
What is discrimination learning
200
When the antecedent and the response has the same beginning, middle, and end
What is point-to-point correspondence
300
Behavior that can only be observed by the person doing it.
What is covert behavior
300
Any event in the environment that may influence behavior
What is a stimulus
300
John gets called on approximately every five times his teacher asks a question.
What is an example of a Variable Ratio schedule
300
The reversibility of the sample stimulus and comparison stimulus; A = B and B = A
What is Symmetry
300
The cause of the verbal operant
What is the functional property of verbal behavior
400
_________ research studies any behavior (or variable), whereas ________ research studies behaviors that are socially significant (or variables that will improve behavior).
What is the difference between basic and applied research
400
Behavior that produce the same reinforcers under similar circumstances
What is a response class
400
Taking the back roads to school after hearing that their is traffic on the highway
What is an example of an avoidance behavior
400
This is a warning signal for a worsening or improving set of conditions that is about to occur.
What is CMO-R
400
Teaching someone the feeling of a "floating body" by having them put their arms in the doorway and releasing them.
What is an example of a kinetic tact extension
500
This dimension of applied behavior analysis states that procedures should be linked to underlying principles and not a “bag of tricks”.
What is conceptually systematic
500
The new stimulus repose relationship when an NS elicits the CR after repeated pairings of the NS and US.
What is conditioned reflex
500
In a ______________ contingency, the aversive stimulus is removed contingent upon the target response, whereas in a ______________ contingency, the aversive stimulus is added contingent upon the target response.
What is the role of the aversive stimulus in negative reinforcement versus punishment.
500
Separated parents have joint custody of their 5-year-old daughter. Mom believes their daughter should spend more time practicing writing the alphabet, she says before snack everyday she must practice writing her letters for 20 minutes. At dad's house the daughter almost never writes her letters.
