ANSWERS
A _________ is behavior that is elicited by a biologically Reflex; operant
relevant stimulus while a/an_________ is behavior
controlled by its consequences.
According to Baer, Wolf, and Risley (1968), what is the Basic research is likely to look at any behavior and variable, and applied research
difference between basic and applied behavior analysis? looks at variables that could improve behavior
Learning refers to: The acquisition of behavior
Correct! All of these
The maintenance of behavior
The change in behavior as a result of events
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:
Which of the following statements best describes the Describe the principles and rules of behavior, apply them across species, and
goals of behavior analysis? develop technologies for behavior change
Applied behavior analysis is: The use of behavior principles to solve practical problems
In operant conditioning, a stimulus that reliably precedes Set the occasion for the response
an operant response (SD) is said to:
, 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:
Behavior analysts recognize the importance of Biology; environment
_____________________, but tend to focus more on ____________ _.
Skinner's model of selection by consequences assumes Naturally varies in form and frequency
that behavior:
Skinner argued that internal events such as feelings, Are behaviors that need to be explained
thoughts, and intentions:
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:
According to a behavior analyst, thinking is: Private behavior that can be explained using the same principles as public
behavior
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:
In terms of behavior-environmental relations, establishing Are used to construct the foundations of behavior
operations: (choose all that apply)
Correct! Increase the momentary effectiveness of reinforcement
Correct Answer Increase momentarily responses that have produced
reinforcement
Produce serotonin in the brain, initiating the behavioral response
The variable manipulated by the experimenter is the Independent; dependent
______________ and the measured effect is the ________ _.
In terms of the reversal design and behavioral The design is used in single-subject experiments
experiments:
The A-phase is called the baseline
The B-phase is the experimental manipulation
Correct! All of these
Functional analysis involves classifying behavior Response functions; stimulus functions
according to _______ , and analyzing the environment in
terms of ____ _.
