8. *To achieve momentum during a discrete trial session, you must:*
A. Deliver the discriminative stimuli (SD) slowly
B. Deliver discriminative stimuli (SD) quickly
C. Provide a lot of time between trials
D. Wait to reinforce at the end of the session - ANSWER ✔ B
Feedback: To achieve momentum during a discrete trial, the discriminative
stimuli must be delivered quickly
9. spontaneous recovery - ANSWER ✔ The temporary reappearance of a
behavior that was previously extinguished for a period of time.
10.Discriminated avoidance - ANSWER ✔ A signaled (SD) contingency for
behavior that indicates that engaging in the behavior will prevent and/or
delay the onset of an aversive stimulus.
11.transitive MO (CMO-T) - ANSWER ✔ A type of conditioned motivating
operation that is established when an environmental variable establishes
another event as a reinforcer or punisher, meaning that a deprived item can
only be acquired by a secondary stimulus, establishing the reinforcing
, effectiveness of the secondary stimulus, and evoking the necessary
behaviors to contact the secondary stimulus.
12.assent - ANSWER ✔ The agreement of participation by a client who is
unable to give legal consent for their own participation.
13.Experimental Analysis of Behavior (EAB) - ANSWER ✔ A branch of
behavior analysis that deals with research on basic processes and principles

15.pragmatism - ANSWER ✔ A philosophical assumption underlying the

works, don't fix it), which at the level of behavior, involves the relation

(C).
16.generality - ANSWER ✔ A dimension of ABA, which explains that any

that differ from the original intervention conditions.
17.validity - ANSWER ✔ Measurement is trustworthy when the measurement

observation method of staff performance used to ensure procedural fidelity
and effectiveness of training and to assess for areas of needed support.
19.overshadowing - ANSWER ✔ The presence of a competing or distracting
