EDF 6222 Practice Test Questions And Answers Verified 100% Correct

EDF 6222 Practice Test Questions And Answers Verified 100% Correct word meaning - ANSWER Contingencies that have been shaped by the listener and their responses Lindsley - ANSWER Created precision teaching using rate of response (frequency) and cumulative response Frequency data is 10-100 times more sensitive to programming change than % correct Precision Teaching - ANSWER adjusts the curricula for each learner and using celeration chart environment - ANSWER means any event in the universe capable of effecting the organism. a small part of the universe is private Private Events - ANSWER only differ from overt events based on their accessibility. They are not special in structure or nature we often are skeptical b/c we cannot establish the truth rarely crucial in the practical control of human behavior introceptive - ANSWER stimuli related to digestive, respiratory, and circulatory systems (racing heart, growling stomach) proprioceptive - ANSWER stimuli which are identified by the position and movement of the body in space AND movement of parts of the body with respect to other parts exteroceptive - ANSWER seeing, hearing, tasting, smelling, and feeling in respect to the world around us Community shaping responses - ANSWER probable behavior perceptual behavior- current events and our senses allow verification "did you feel that?" past behavior- vocabulary acquired from current behavior but the speaker must have the experience of being present in the past " I went to the movies" covert behavior- private conditions associated with public "what are you thinking" future behavior- report on a covert behavior "I am going to give this to him tomorrow" traditional view - ANSWER We disagree that the traditional view that mental causes mediate the relationship between the environment and the behavior Mental Life - ANSWER Thinking is behaving not allocating the behavior to the mind Mentalistic Explanations - ANSWER incorrect to presume that the response we eventually emit is somehow stored somewhere inside of us. Contingencies are not stored but change it response exist in our response and contingencies exist in our learning histories "having an idea' - ANSWER a verbal response exists with some strength in the repertoire of the individual and emitted via manipulation of some features of the environment response generalization makes the response appear novel self - ANSWER functionally unified response self or personality as a set of responses more readily allows variability in responding that may result from variability in the environment self-knowledge - ANSWER awareness of one's own behavior as well as the analysis of the controlling variables of one's own behavior "reasoning" about one's own behavior Rules - ANSWER can usually be learned faster than ind can contact the contingencies responsible for shaping new behaviors statements of contingencies accidental contingencies - ANSWER Suspicious behavior obeying laws we avoid punishment, without having contact with that specific punishment ourselves. reinforcement is effective even if it isn't related to the behavior it follows Scientifically skeptical - ANSWER Until there is evidence available, assumptions cannot be made structionalism - ANSWER relied on introspection which looks inward to describe sensations, positivism and feelings methodological - ANSWER thought of as a psychological version of logical positivism or operationism ontogeny - ANSWER is a learned behavior of a particular animal during its lifetim phylogency - ANSWER behaviors that have been passed down over the lifetime of the entire species Behaviorism - ANSWER Behaviorism is not the science of human behavior; it is the philosophy of that science (Skinner, 1974 pg 3) Pavlov - ANSWER 1. Respondent conditioning 2. he carefully controlled conditions that allowed him to show that particular stimuli can acquire (respond) the ability to elicit secretion 3. He avoided BOTH mentalistic and explanatory fictions conditioning - ANSWER 1. extends the scope of eliciting stimulus 2. does NOT bring all the behavior within stimulus control 3. can add different eliciting stimuli but will never fashion a novel response contingencies of reinforcement - ANSWER have edge for survival b/c prediction and control and the conditions under which a species acquires behavior are relatively accessible and can be manipulated genes - ANSWER predispose an individual's susceptibility to the influences from the environment. Genes do not cause behavior- they set up physical basis for the processes and structures that participate in behavior. imitative responses - ANSWER require the learner to orient towards the model NOT topographical correspondence of the behavior Law of Effect (Thorndike) - ANSWER Thorndike's principle that behaviors followed by pleasant stimulus become more likely (increase), and that behaviors followed by negative stimulus become less likely (decrease) free will - ANSWER operant conditioning does NOT suggest that organisms cannot control their own behaviors b/c of lack of free will. Operant conditioning states that once the environment is understood, it can be altered in our favor extinction - ANSWER when reinforcement is no longer present must have reinforcement history to determine resistance to extinction shorter periods will extinguish sooner longer history will take more time punishment - ANSWER punishment reduces future instances of a behavior
