CBCC-KA FINAL PAPER 2026 QUESTIONS
WITH CORRECT ANSWERS GRADED A+
◉ Define: FI. Answer: Fixed Interval Schedule
◉ What is the difference between FR5 and VR5? Answer: With FR5,
you reinforce every fifth event, while with VR5 you reinforce an average
of every 5th event
◉ What happens on an FI-2 minute schedule? Answer: The behaviour is
reinofrced only when it occurs after 2 minutes have elapsed after the last
reinforcement
◉ Define: VI
Define: Variable Interval Schedule. Answer: Variable Interval Schedule
Provide a reinofrcer the first time the target behaviour occurs after an
interval, with the interval varying around an average of N
lengthVariable-interval schedule with a limited hold schedule requires
only one resonsebut that response must occur at an unpredictable period
of time. A sports-relatedexample of this would be "hot-ball" in soccer,
,which has a nearly 0-second hold Thisdrill involves six players to stand
in a circle and one touch the ball to another playerin the circle. The
coach will randomly blow the whistle to say the drill is over, whenthe
whistle is blown, whichever player has the ball in their possession must
do oneman-maker. This is a response that makes the players practice
their one-touch passessince they do not want to be stuck with the ball
when the whistle is blown they willdish the ball off as soon as they can.
◉ Define: FD
Define: Fixed Duration Schedule. Answer: Fixed Duration Schedule
Provide a reinforcer after the target behaviour has been performed
continuously for a period of N length
◉ Define: VD
Define: Variable Duration Schedule. Answer: Variable duration schedule
Provide a reinforcer after the target behaviour has been performed
continuously for a period, with the period varying around an average of
N length
◉ What are the drawbacks to flooding? Answer: The therapy is
necessarily anxiety producing and the there is little room for error
,◉ Define: Flooding. Answer: Exposure to stimuli until no response
occurs
◉ What are you doing when you construct a hierarchy? Answer: You are
identifying situations that arouse fear and arrange them in order from the
least upsetting to the most upsetting
◉ Who first devised systematic desensitization? Answer: Joseph Wolpe
◉ Define: Desensitization Training. Answer: Any form of counter
conditioning training that reduces an inappropriate negative response to
an event
◉ Define: Conditioned Response. Answer: The response to the
conditioned stimulus following learning
◉ Define: Counterconditioning. Answer: The use of Pavlovian
conditioning to undo the adverse effects of earlier conditioning
◉ Define: Unconditioned Response. Answer: Any response that does not
require learning
, ◉ Define: Conditioned Stimulus. Answer: Any stimulus that when
paired with an unconditioned response produces that response after
learning
◉ Define: Unconditioned Stimulus. Answer: A stimulus that elicits a
response but that does not need to be learned
◉ Define: Sensitization Training. Answer: Any form of
counterconditioning that reduces an inappropriate positive response to
an event
occurs when repeated exposure or a single exposure to a stimulus inc.
the intensity of response
ex: if you are walking down the hall right after watching a scary movie
& your friend pops out and says Boo! you will likely startle -->
sensitizes other stimuli than the one being exposed to
◉ Define: Aversion Therapy. Answer: The application of an aversive
stimulus when paired with a stimulus that evokes an inappropriate
positive response
◉ What are the rules for counterconditioning? Answer: 1. Define the
target behaviour2. Identify the stimuli to be paired3. Pair the appropriate
stimuli4. Monitor results
