MOs
Operant behavior is selected by its:
Consequences
A mand is a type of verbal operant in which a speaker:
Asks for (or states, demands, implies, etc.) what he or she needs or wants
Which schedule of reinforcement occurs when two or more contingencies of reinforcement operate independently and simultaneously for two or more behaviors?
Concurrent schedules of reinforcement
If the sound of thunder was paired with a guinea pig, the sound of thunder would be considered a(n)
unconditioned stimulus
Behavior is affected by stimulus changes that occur prior to and immediately after the behavior. The term _____ refers to environmental conditions or stimulus changes that exist or occur prior to the behavior of interest
Antecedent
This type of motivating operation alters a relation to itself by acquiring MO effectiveness by preceding a worsening or improvement
Reflexive CMO
Transcription consists of:
Writing and spelling words that are spoken
Which schedule of reinforcement produces a post-reinforcement pause?
Fixed ratio
Timmy has just recently begun clearing his plate after he finishes his meal. Timmy's mother really likes this new behavior and would like to see more of it. Which schedule of reinforcement should Timmy's mother use to strengthen Timmy's new behavior of clearing his plate?
Continuous reinforcement
Heather hears a phone ring, then picks up the phone. Her husband talks with her over the phone. What is the behavior in this three-term contingency?
Picking up the phone
This type of motivating operation makes something else effective as a reinforcer because of its relation or association with an unconditioned reinforcer.
Transitive CMO
This verbal operant is vocal ad has both point-to-point correspondence AND formal similarity
echoic
Which schedule of reinforcement presents two or more basic schedules of reinforcement in an alternating (usually random) sequence usually occurring successively and independently with no correlated discriminative stimuli?
Mixed schedules of reinforcement
Stimulus Equivalence:
You show a learner a picture of a dog. Without any explicit prompt or reward history for matching the exact photo, your learner selects an identical picture of a dog from an array of pictures.
Reflexivity
Identify the A-B-Cs of this scenario: Mom puts Sally to bed, Sally starts to cry, so mom picks her up and brings her to mom’s bed.
A= Mom puts Sally to bed. B = Sally cries. C = Mom picks her up
The type of motivating operation that accomplishes what the original motivating operation it was paired with did is a:
Surrogate CMO
This verbal operant has a: verbal SD, verbal response, and no point-to-point correspondence, and no formal similarity
Intraverbal
This differential reinforcement procedure requires you to only reinforce incompatible behaviors of the targeted challenging behavior
DRI
ID the stimulus equivalence:
You say the word “Dog” (A) and the learner selects the picture of the dog (B)
You present the picture of a dog (B) and the learner says “Dog” without directly being taught the reverse step
Symmetry
Identify the A-B-Cs: Dad asks his son to pick up his toys, his son picks up the toys and puts them away, dad gives him a high five
A= Dad makes request. B = son puts toys away. C = dad gives high five
What is the difference between MOs and Sds?
MO:
Temporarily changes how effective or valuable a particular stimulus is as a reinforcer or punisher
SD:
Signals availability for reinforcement
This verbal operant has: non verbal sd, a verbal response, and no PTP or formal similarity
Tact
This DR is best selected if the learner already has the skill in their repertoire
DRA
Type of generalization: Albert subsequently showed fear when presented with other white, fluffy objects he had never been conditioned to fear, including: fur coat, white rabbit, ball of cotton
Stimulus generalization
Difference between conditioned and unconditioned reinforcement
One requires a learning history and one does not
