what is DRO
Refers to the program being implemented as planned

When a group of stimuli all evokes the same response (for example, when one sees a picture of a Border collie, a Doberman pinscher, and a Labrador retriever, one says "that's a dog"), the group of stimuli is referred to as:
what is a stimulus class
Verbally requesting an item is called a(n):
what is a mand

Prompts

instruction, modeling, rehearsal and feedback
what is BST
In the past, a teacher has reinforced children for working quietly and independently after she announces “Pooh Bear Time to Hibernate.” Now when she wants to set the occasion for quiet independent study she says, “Pooh Bear Time to Hibernate.” This statement serves as a:
What is discriminative stimulus
Which verbal operant has a nonverbal stimulus as the antecedent and generalized conditioned social reinforcement as the consequence
what is a tact
A teacher is trying to get John to write his name. First, she provides him with the letters J-O-H and he fills in the last letter. Then she provides J-O and he fills in the last two letters.

Quickly helping a change agent to decrease challenging behavior is what type of reinforcement
what is negative reinforcement
The ability to respond to similar stimuli or situations that were not explicitly taught.
what is stimulus generalization
Physically dissimilar stimuli are treated as equivalent to one another
what is stimulus equivalence
Each link in a behavioral chain serves as:
what is reinforcer for the behavior it follows & an SD for the behavior it proceeds
What is the removal of previously reinforced behavior
what is extinction
The ability to produce different but functionally equivalent responses to the same stimulus.
what is response generalization
