1. Three condition qualifications under which reinforcement will occur -
ANSWER ✔ The timing between the end of of given response and the onset
of the stimulus change
The role of motivation
The relationship between stimulus conditions present when the reaponse was
emitted
2. 4 term contingency of positive reinforcement - ANSWER ✔ Establishing
operations (EO)
Discriminative stimulus (SD)
Response
Reinforcing stimulus
3. Verbal Analog Conditioning - ANSWER ✔ Being told something is
important which increases its value. I.e. stars in a token board
,4. Automatic Reinforcement - ANSWER ✔ Reinforcement occurring
independent of another person delivering it
5. Generalized Conditioned Reinforcers - ANSWER ✔ A conditioned
reinforcer that has been paired with many conditioned and unconditioned
reinforcers; does not depend on a specific EO to be effective
E.g. tokens, money, points
6. Premack Principle - ANSWER ✔ A principle that states that making the
opportunity to engage in a high-probability behavior contingent on the
occurrence of a low-frequency behavior will function as reinforcement for
the low-frequency behavior; first, then
7. Motivating Operation (MO) - ANSWER ✔ Alters the effectiveness of some
stimulus, object, or event as a reinforcer and alters the current frequency of
all behavior that has been reinforced by the stimulus, object, or event
8. Categorize Reinforcers by: - ANSWER ✔ Edible
Tangible
Social
Activity
9. Types of Preference Assessments - ANSWER ✔ asking
free operant (contrived- analyst adds stimuli to the natural environment) or
(naturalistic- environment has not changed)
, trial based (I.e.paired stimulus, multiple stimulus)
10.Temporal Extent - ANSWER ✔ extent of the behavior (duration); elapsed
time between the onset and termination of an event
11.Repeatability - ANSWER ✔ Countability; we can count the behavior
because responses repeat through time; frequency
12.Although most of you are preparing for the BACB certification exam, please
know that the material is based on the work of ________ and his science and
philosophy of human behavior. There are occasions where we may spend
time on items that are no longer specifically required for the exam, but we
feel are required to be an excellent behavior scientist. - ANSWER ✔ B.F.
Skinner
13.The ________ is the only standardized form of data measurement in our
science. In this course, you will be charting your own behavior - specifically
your daily study of ABA terminology. - ANSWER ✔ Standard Celeration
Chart (SCC)
14.The Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB) is the single governing
body for professionals in the field of _______. The BACB was established
in 1998 to provide certification to professionals in an effort to establish
minimum criteria to be a reactionary in the field. - ANSWER ✔ Applied
Behavior Analysis
, 15.The standard celeration chart is the only standardized form of data ______ in
our science. - ANSWER ✔ measurement
16.The word _______ refers to a systematic approach for seeking and
organizing knowledge about the natural world. - ANSWER ✔ systematic
approach
17.Scientific investigations can yield information regarding the three levels of
understanding, which are _____ ,_______ , and _______. - ANSWER ✔
description, prediction, control.
18.What is the purpose for this systematic approach? - ANSWER ✔ -To
achieve a thorough understanding of the phenomena under study.
-To seek to discover the real truths.
--so no bias by groups or organizations
--or by the scientists themselves.
19._______ studies produce a collection of facts about the observed events that
can be quantified, classified, and examined for possible relations with other
known facts.
20.(Can also suggest hypothesis, questions, or additional research ideas.) -
ANSWER ✔ Description
21.The highest level of scientific understanding is ________ . In this regard, we
specifically manipulate one event (the independent variable) in order to
produce a reliable change in another event (the dependent variable), and the
