Contingencies and Traps
A contingency of reinforcement that produces long lasting behavior changes through baiting of learners with powerful reinforcers that motivate the acquisition, extension, and maintenance of a behavior, with few satiation effects (Baer et al., 1968).
Behavior trap
A learned behavior change that occurs in new situations or settings demonstrates... (Stokes & Baer, 1977)
Setting generalization
This involves teaching with multiple versions of stimuli to promote generalization (Stokes & Osnes, 1989)
Multiple exemplar training
A reinforcement arrangement deliberately designed by a practitioner to support behavior change is called a... (Smith et al., 1999)
Contrived contingency
When a behavior spreads to untrained responses that serve the same function, this is called... (Stokes & Osnes, 1989)
Response Generalization
The process of intentionally incorporating real-world stimuli from the natural environment into training is called... (Stokes & Baer, 1977)
Program common stimuli
When a practitioner teaches a behavior that later evokes reinforcement under a naturally occurring condition, they are using a... (Stokes& Baer, 1977)
Contrived mediating contingency
A durable change in behavior over time, even after the intervention ends, is referred to as... (Baer et al., 1968).
Response maintenance
When practitioners train a behavior in one location but test it in others to measure transfer, this is known as a... (Stokes & Osnes, 1989)
Generalization probe
This type of contingency exists naturally in the environment and maintains behavior without continued practitioner intervention (Stokes & Baer, 1977)
Naturally existing contingency
When behavior change in one person leads to changes in another, this demonstrates... (Stokes & Baer, 1977)
Generalization across subjects
Teaching occurs in the same or similar environment where the skill will later be needed is called... (Stokes & Osnes, 1989)
Instructional setting
A contingency designed to be unpredictable or less detectable by the learner is called a(n)... (Stokes & Osnes, 1989)
Indiscriminable contingency
The overall expansion of behavior change beyond the training context is called... (Stokes & Baer, 1977)
Generalized behavior change
This generalization strategy involves varying noncritical aspects of the teaching environment to promote flexible responding across contexts (Stokes & Baer, 1977)
