False
The term “applied” in ABA means that technology is
applied to a research question.
True or False?
False
S-R psychology is a paradigm for modern
behaviorism.
True or False?
B. ABA seeks to produce statistically significant
results
Which of the following is not a component specified in
the definition of ABA?
A. The focus is socially-significant behavior
B. ABA seeks to produce statistically significant
results
C. Procedures are derived from principles of behavior
D. ABA demonstrates a functional relation
,-Prediction
-Description
-Control
Different types of scientific investigations yield 1 or
more of three levels of understanding phenomena
under study which are:
C. Experimentation, philosophic doubt, parsimony
Scientific “attitudes” as described by Skinner include:
A. Prediction, expert opinion, control
B. Description, experimentation, Analysis
C. Experimentation, philosophic doubt, parsimony
Respondent Behavior
Behavior elicited by antecedent stimuli is referred to
as:
An eliciting stimulus and the behavior it produces
A reflex includes:
E. all of the above
Operants must be defined in terms of:
A. their relationship to controlling variables
B. A set of contingencies
C. Their consequences
D. A and B
E. All of the above
Operant behavior
Behavior whose probability of occurrence is
determined by its history of consequences is:
D. The rate of the given behavior will immediately
increase
Which of the following Is NOT part of the definition of
behavioral consequence:
A. It is an environmental change
, B. It follows a given behavior
C. It alters the probability of future occurrences of the
given behavior
D. The rate of the given behavior will immediately
increase
Negative Reinforcement
When certain stimuli increase the future probability of
a behavior when they are terminated immediately
following a response, what has occurred is termed:
Negative Reinforcement
The future probability of Ken completing homework
increased when his parents required Ken to remain at
his desk until his homework was completed. This is
an example of:
B. Perception of the stimulus
Which of the following Is NOT a component of the
three-term contingency?
A. Antecedent stimulus
B. Perception of the stimulus
C. Behavior
D. Consequence
Different histories of reinforcement
Differences is the way we respond to situations are
primarily the result of:
Elicited by antecedent events
Respondent behavior is:
True
Although other fields aim to understand and improve
human behavior, ABA distinguishes itself by its focus,
goals, and methodology.
True or False?
