EXAM WITH CORRECT ANSWERS
Differential Low Rates of Behavior (DRL) - Correct-answer-Used to obtain lower rates of a
particular behavior without eliminating a behavior completely
Side Effects of Negative Consequences - Correct-answer-Counter Control: Opposition or
resistance in response to intervention
Passive Aggression: A masked way of expressing feelings of anger
Time-Out Technique - Correct-answer-Behavioral modification that temporarily separates a
person from an environment where unacceptable behavior has occurred
The Premack Principle - Correct-answer-commonly occurring behavior can reinforce a less
frequent behavior
Shaping / Successive Approximations - Correct-answer-Sequential reinforcement of behaviors
that reflect successive steps to the occurrence of a more complex target behavior
, Superstitious Behavior - Correct-answer-Belief in a causal relationship between an action,
object, or ritual and an unrelated outcome
Classical-Operant Conditioning Overlap - Correct-answer-When kids run after an ice cream
truck, their reflexive (autonomic) salivation is classically conditioned to the sound of the music
and sight of the truck while their voluntary (somatic) running and buying are operant actions
Vicarious Reinforcement - Correct-answer-Tendency to repeat or duplicate behaviors for which
others are being rewarded
Vicarious Punishment - Correct-answer-Tendency not to repeat behaviors when others are
punished for performing them
Latent Learning - Correct-answer-When behavior is learned but not displayed, often because
reinforcing consequences are not available
Instincts - Correct-answer-A complex behavior that is rigidly patterned throughout a species
and is unrelated
Drive Reduction Theory - Correct-answer-The idea that a physiological need creates an
aroused tension stage (a drive) that motivates an organism to satisfy the need
, Homeostasis - Correct-answer-A tendency to maintain a balanced or constant internal state;
the regulation of any aspect of body chemistry around a particular level
Biological Needs - Correct-answer-Physiological requirements that are critical to our survival
and physical well-being
Incentives vs Disincentives - Correct-answer-Incentives: A positive environmental stimulus that
motivates behavior
Disincentives: Negative environmental stimulus that motivates behavior
Arousal and Performance - Correct-answer-Major aspect of many learning theories and is
closely related to other concepts such as anxiety, attention, agitation, stress, and motivation
The Yerkes-Dodson Law (1908) - Correct-answer-The principle that performance increases with
arousal only up to a point, beyond which performance decreases
Social Facilitation (audience effect) - Correct-answer-The tendency for people to perform
differently when in the presence of others that when alone
