Correct (Verified Answer)
Behaviors are constrained by laws known as the three-term contingency. Name the
three-term contingency. - ANSWERAntecedent, Behavior, Consequence
Behavior has a direct effect on the environment in which it occurs. - ANSWERTRUE
Negative reinforcement is adding something from the environment to decrease the
behavior. - ANSWERFALSE
Behavior Modification evolved to what we now refer to as Applied Behavior Analysis
- ANSWERTRUE
Who is considered the father of modern behaviorism? - ANSWERSKINNER
Negative reinforcement is when a behavior increases in the future after something in
the environment is removed. - ANSWERTRUE
We look for environmental changes that occur a maximum of how long after the
behavior? - ANSWER2-3 SECONDS
The "dead man's test" can not help us differentiate what is a behavior and what is
not. - ANSWERFALSE
What are the consequences that follow a behavior, affecting the likelihood of the
behavior's recurrence? - ANSWERReinforcement & Punishment
Emotions are behaviors. - ANSWERFALSE
The behavior is also known as the response to the antecedent. - ANSWERTRUE
Behavior is the activity of living organisms. - ANSWERTRUE
Behavior must be ______________. - ANSWEROBSERVABLE
is a type of learning in which an antecedent stimulus can elicit a response. -
ANSWERRESPONDENT CONDITIONING
15. Punishment is a consequence that decreases the likelihood of behavior to recur
by either adding or removing stimuli to the environment. - ANSWERTRUE
The antecedent occurs last. - ANSWERFALSE
,Behavior must have at least one dimension that can be _______. -
ANSWEROBSERVABLE AND MEASUREABLE
An example of positive reinforcement would be receiving a paycheck each week for
going to work and completing your job. - ANSWERTRUE
The stimulus that occurs after the behavior is known as? - ANSWERConsequence
The consequence or reinforcer should be presented a maximum of how long after
the behavior? - ANSWER2-3 SECONDS
An increase/decrease in reinforcer strength due to its size is called? -
ANSWERMagnitude
The presence of a reinforcing or adverse condition that affects performance and
learning is known as? - ANSWERmotivating operations
Satiation increases the strength of a reinforcer temporarily. - ANSWERfalse
When a previously-reinforced behavior no longer produces access to reinforcement
it is called ________. - ANSWERextinction
What are the two effects motivating operations can have on learning? -
ANSWERIncrease/decrease the effectiveness of a reinforcer and frequency of
reinforced behaviors
What are two common types of negative reinforcement? - ANSWERResponse Cost
and Time Out
To increase the strength of a reinforcer by blocking access to the item for a period of
time is called? - ANSWERDeprivation
In which schedule of reinforcement is the reinforcer accessible after a consistent
amount of time? - ANSWERFixed-interval
A behavior principle that is used primarily as a last resort, and should be done only
under the supervision of a behavior analyst, is called what? - ANSWERPunishment
Which schedule of reinforcement is most resilient to extinction? - ANSWERVariable-
ratio
In a variable-interval schedule of reinforcement, access to reinforcement is available
after a random amount of time? - ANSWERtrue
, A reinforcer that once was strong has lost its strength because of a time gap
between the behavior and the application of the reinforcement. What variable of
reinforcer effectiveness is responsible for the change? - ANSWERImmediacy
Continuous reinforcement is best used when maintaining a behavior? - ANSWERfalse
Deprivation is when a reinforcer has been over-accessed, weaking its effects. -
ANSWERfalse
Providing reinforcement for some, but not all occurrences of behavior is? -
ANSWERIntermittent Reinforcement
Motivating operations are temporary. - ANSWERtrue
What is meant by contingency, as a variable of reinforcer effectiveness? -
ANSWERProviding reinforcers only when a target behavior occurs
Providing reinforcement for each occurrence of a behavior is known as? -
ANSWERContinuous Reinforcement
The process of decreasing a behavior by no longer providing the reinforcement, the
behavior once accessed is called? - ANSWERextinction
The phenomenon in which a behavior that is no longer being reinforced first
increased in intensity is called? - ANSWERextinction Burst
The key to positive outcomes related to ASD is what? - ANSWEREarly diagnosis
Fascination and Linear-fixed focus on a specific subject, activity, and interest for
periods of time is consistent with which area of ASD? - ANSWERRestrictive Self
Interest; Repetitive Behavior
Many kids with autism have trouble with symbolic play. - ANSWERtrue
Autism is a complex neurobehavioral condition that includes impairments in social
interaction, developmental language and communication skills. - ANSWERtrue
_________ interest is the tendency to become fixated on one subject or object. -
ANSWERrestricted
Some individuals with ASD may experience extreme distress at small changes,
difficulties with transitions, rigid thinking patterns, greeting rituals, or the need to
take the same route or eat the same food every day. - ANSWERtrue
Persistent deficits in social-emotional reciprocity ranging from abnormal social
approach and failure of normal back-and-forth conversation to reduced sharing of
