Positive reinfocement occurs when a behavior is followed immedidetly by the _________ of a stimulus that ______ the future frequency of the behavior in similar conditions.
What is presentation, increases
This strategy involves differential reinforcement of successive approximations to a terminal behavior.
What is behavioral shaping/shaping
The level of investigation that involves the collection of facts about observed events that can be quantified, classified, and examined for possible relations with other known facts, and often suggests hypotheses or questions for additional research is:
Description
A(n) _______ measure of the actual behavior of interest will always possess more validity than a(n) _______ measure.
Direct, indirect
The research tactic for examining two or more elements of a treatment package is called a(n)
Component analysis
The definition of this strategy is the removal of access to a reinforcer for a specific time period, immediately after the unwanted response resulting in a decreased frequency of that response class.
What is time out
During a math game every time a student shouted out an answer before being called on that student was placed in the penalty box and not allowed to participate for two questions. This is an example of which time-out procedure?
Contingent observation
S-R-C refers to this three word term
What is stimulus--response--consequence
This term refers to reinforcing only those responses within a response class that meet a specific criterion along some dimensions and placing all other responses in the class on extinction.
What is differential reinforcement
This is the extent to which a learner emits the target behavior in a setting or stimulus situation that is different from the instructional setting.
Setting/situation generalization
