How many birds worked together to steer the Pigeon-Guided Bombs in WWII?
Three
What type of reinforcement provides a reward for good behavior?
Positive Reinforcement
What form of Punishment is most commonly confused as Negative Reinforcement?
Positive Punishment
When shaping a new behavior, the recommended Schedule of Reinforcement is:
Continuous, or after every goal behavior
Withholding reinforcement to extinguish a behavior is known as
Extinction
What was the name of Skinner's favorite ray with whom he practiced Shaping?
Pliny
What type of reinforcement is an alarm clock an example of?
What alternative to punishment provides reinforcement for other behaviors than the undesired one?
Differential Reinforcement
What schedule is described as requiring a specific number of responses before earning one reinforcer?
Fixed Ratio
After Extinction, a behavior may reappear if given reinforcement once again. What term is applied to this surge in behavior?
Spontaneous Recovery
Skinner's baby daughter Deb learned to wave her arm in a big arc. Why?
To get her dad to turn on the lamp
This type of reinforcer is not instinctive, and must be learned
Secondary Reinforcer
Use of too strong of a punisher may lead to this common reaction which is similar to the Freeze Response
Cessation of ALL behavior
The process of expanding the number of responses required to earn a reinforcer is called
What artefact of behavior occurs when a subject undergoing Extinction increases behavior in an attempt to earn a reinforcer?
Extinction Burst
In Skinner's Radical Behaviorism, what is essentially an illusion, since all behavior is shaped by its consequences?
Free Will
The popular name given to reinforcement models that use cumulative reinforcers such as sticker charts is
Token Economies
Overuse of smaller punishers may increase this feeling/emotion, leading to an increase in aggressive behavior
Frustration
What schedule has the most consistent response rate on a Cumulative Record graph with little to no post-reinforcement-pauses?
Variable Interval
If done properly, Extinction training can eliminate the need for what other Consequence category of Learning?
Punishment
What was the real intention of the "baby in a box" invention?
An open-air crib to help Mom keep baby safe while working around the home
What natural physical outcome produces a loss of effectiveness for primary reinforcers like food?
Satiety/Satiation
This reinforcement model eliminates bad behavior by reinforcing one that cannot be done at the same time as the target behavior
Reinforcement of Incompatible Behavior
A well-learned behavior is resistant to what major change in reinforcement scheduling
Extinction, as its own form of learning, is distinct from this other common effect of Memory
Forgetting (or Memory Decay)
