SPCE 609 - FINAL EXAM UPDATED ACTUAL QUESTIONS AND CORRECT
ANSWERS
Functional analysis involves classifying behavior Response functions; stimulus functions
according to _______ , and analyzing the environment in
terms of ____ _.
In terms of the reversal design and behavioral The design is used in single-subject experiments
experiments: The B-phase is the experimental manipulation
The A-phase is called the baseline
***All of these (CORRECT)
When stimuli vary physically but have a common effect Stimulus class
on behavior, they are part of the same___ _.
The behavior of an organism: Is everything an organism does, including thinking and feeling
Analysis of behavior becomes experimental when it The manipulation of a condition to see how behavior is affected
involves:
Negative reinforcers: Increase behavior when removed
Skinner's model of selection by consequences assumes Naturally varies in form and frequency
that behavior:
The variable manipulated by the experimenter is the Independent; dependent
______________ and the measured effect is the ________ _.
, The idea that successful behaviors will increase in Thorndike's law of effect
likelihood while unsuccessful behaviors will decrease in
likelihood was first described in:
The term________ refers to behavior that is elicited and Respondent; operant
the term ________ refers to behavior that is emitted
Any stimulus (or event) that follows a response and A reinforcement function
increases its frequency is said to have:
In functional analysis, positive and negative reinforcers Stimulus classes
are examples of
A researcher examined the possibility that additional The independent variable
recess time would increase the number of math facts
learned over a one-month period. The procedure tested
this hypothesis using a first-grade classroom with
extended recess time a second-grade classroom with
regular recess time. In this study, the amount of recess
time would be considered:
A(n)________ refers to all of the forms of a behavior that Response class
have a similar function.
Which of the following is not an example of operant Flinching slightly when the nurse tells you that they are about to give you a shot
conditioning:
If food is presented every time a pigeon pecks a key, then Continuous
the behavior is on a _____ schedule of reinforcement.
The Premack principle states that a higher-frequency Function as reinforcement for a lower-frequency behavior
behavior will:
A rat receives a pellet for the first response after 5 Interval
minutes regardless of how often they press the lever. This
is an example of a(n) ____ schedule.
Skinner proposed that the basic datum (measure) for Rate
operant analysis should be:
Principles of behavior like extinction, discrimination, and Generalize across species
spontaneous recovery:
Increasing the number of responses required in a ratio Ratio strain
schedule of reinforcement too quickly often results in a
stereotyped pattern of behavior that includes emotional
responding and a failure to perform the required
behavior. This pattern of behavior is referred to as:
