PRACTICE QUESTIONS WITH CORRECT
ANSWERS LATEST UPDATE
in a matching-to-sample procedure, the sample stimulus --CORRECT
ANSWER--determines which comparison stimulus is the SD and
which ones are S-Deltas
a standard for teaching conditional discrimination is that each sample
stimulus should be presented with --CORRECT ANSWER--at lease
three comparison stimuli
before learners can acquire conditional discriminations from a
matching-to-sample procedure, they must first learn to --CORRECT
ANSWER--all of the above
sit quietly between trials
orient toward instructional stimuli
scan multiple comparison stimuli

,a type of matching-to-sample in which a learner selects from an array
of comparison stimuli after the sample stimulus is removed is called
____ matching --CORRECT ANSWER--delayed
matching-to-sample is a procedure in which an individual selects a
comparison stimulus from an array that --CORRECT ANSWER--
corresponds in some specified way to a sample stimulus
matching-to-sample is a procedure use to teach --CORRECT
ANSWER--conditioned discrimination
a type of matching-to-sample in which a leaner selects from an array
of comparison stimuli based on an arbitrary association with the
sample stimulus is called ____ matching --CORRECT ANSWER--
symbolic
in a matching-to-sample procedure, the comparison stimuli --
CORRECT ANSWER--function as a S-Delta

,within a block of trials, sample stimuli should be presented --
CORRECT ANSWER--the same number of times in random order
a type of matching-to-sample in which a learner selects from an array
of comparison stimuli based on identical physical dimensions of the
stimuli presented is called ___ matching --CORRECT ANSWER--
identity
a type of matching-to-sample in which a learner selects from an array
of comparison stimuli in the presence of the sample stimulus is called
___ matching --CORRECT ANSWER--simultaneous
in a matching-to-sample procedure, the function of the comparison
stimuli changes from trial to trial depending on the sample stimulus,
such that a given comparison stimulus is --CORRECT ANSWER--
correct on some trials and incorrect on other trials
incorrect comparison stimuli (S-Deltas) should be --CORRECT
ANSWER--familiar stimuli

, When the sample stimulus is a spoken word or some other auditory
stimulus, it should be.... --CORRECT ANSWER--repeated about
every two seconds
which of the following most closely represents the application of
differential reinforcement in a matching to sample procedure?
following a learner's error and before presenting the next trial, the
teacher --CORRECT ANSWER--removes the materials and says
nothing
when a learner makes an incorrect response in a matching-to-sample
procedure, prompt should be used to evoke a correct response --
CORRECT ANSWER--on a subsequent trial
if a discrimination between comparison stimuli is based on subtle
differences between the stimuli, such as between the words CAP and
CAR, it may be useful to --CORRECT ANSWER--teach
discrimination between the relevant features of the stimuli first
in matching-to-sample presentations, instructions such as "touch
the..." "point to..." or "give me the..." that tell the learner which
selection response should be used are --CORRECT ANSWER--
additional irrelevant stimuli that enhance the difficulty of the task
