while a/an _______________ is behavior controlled by its consequences.
Correct!
Reflex; operant
Respondent; voluntary
Operant; respondent
Reflex; respondent
Question 2
pts
According to Baer, Wolf, and Risley (1968), what is the difference between
basic and applied behavior analysis?
Basic research is likely to look at any behavior and any variable
Basic research is likely to look at any behavior and and variable, and applied
research looks at variables that could improve behavior
Applied research looks at variables that could improve behavior
None of these
Question 3
pts
Learning refers to:
The acquisition of behavior
All of these
The change in behavior as a result of events
The maintenance of behavior
Question 4
pts
The behavior of an organism:
Is everything an organism does, including biologial processes such as
digestion
Is everything an organism does, including thinking and feeling
Includes the behaviors of organisms around the target organisms
Focuses only on overt actions that can be measured by an outsider

Analysis of behavior becomes experimental when it involves:
A component of learning
The manipulation of a condition to see how behavior is affected
The observation of behavior
The organism changing its behavior
Question 6
pts
Which of the following statements best describes the goals of behavior
analysis?
To explain how human thought, feeling, and intention both influence behavior
and are influenced by behavior and then to use this understanding to
develop technologies to influence how people think and feel
Work with already established principles and rules of behavior, apply them
across species, and develop behavior management techniques
Describe the principles and rules of behavior, apply them across species, and
develop technologies for behavior change
To explain the forces that shape human behavior and then to use these
explanations to develop behavior management techniques for humans
Question 7
pts
Applied behavior analysis is:
Manipulating conditions to produce changes in behavior
Discovering behavior management techniques
The use of behavior principles to solve practical problems
Defining behavior in an organism
Question 8
pts
In operant conditioning, a stimulus that reliably precedes an operant
response (SD) is said to:
Reinforce the response
Set the occasion for the response
Elicit the response
Punish the response
