EAB 3002 Exam 1 (CH 1-4) Questions
with Correct Answers
Applied Behavior Analysis - ANSWER-The use of behavior principles to solve
practical problems
Conditioning - ANSWER-When an organism learns new ways of behaving in reaction
to the changes that occur in its environment
Two types
Respondent Conditioning vs. Operant Conditioning - ANSWER-Respondent -
meaningless stimulus is paired with an unconditioned stimulus
ex. buzzing bee (neutral) pain of the sting (unconditioned)
Operant- An increase or decrease in operant response as a function of the
consequences that have followed the response.
B. F. Skinner - ANSWER-Operant and respondent behavior
Described five categories of autoclitic relations: descriptive, qualifying, quantifying,
manipulative, and relational.
Pavlov; classical - ANSWER-____________ was a physiologist studying canine
salivary responses. He is known for describing _______________ conditioning.
Focus was on measurable dimensions of behavior as the dependent variable of
interest.
Ivan Pavlov discovered RESPONDENT CONDITION form of conditioning at the turn
of the century. He showed that dogs salivated when food was placed in their mouths.
This relationship between the food stimulus and salivation is called a reflex, and it
occurs because of the animal's biological history.
When Pavlov rang a bell just before feeding the dog, it began to salivate at the
sound of the bell. In this way, new features - sound of bell - controlled the dog's
respondent behavior - salivation. Thus, presenting stimuli together in time - typically
conditioned stimulus and then unconditioned stimulus - is the procedure for
respondent conditioning. If a conditioned stimulus comes to regulate the occurrence
of a conditioned response, respondent conditioning has occurred.
Watson; stimulus; not - ANSWER-____________ is considered the father of
behaviorism as a philosophy. He is known for describing _____________-response
, behavior. The little Albert experiment applied classical conditioning principles to
human behavior. Believed that anything within the skin was _______ appropriate for
a science of behavior.
Thorndike; behavior - ANSWER-_______________ introduced the law of effect
which states that a _____________ which produces a favorable effect on the
environment is likely to be repeated. In contrast, a _____________ that produces an
unfavorable effect on the environment is unlikely to be repeated.
Functional Analysis - ANSWER-a method of analyzing behavior-environment
relationships. Involves classifying behavior according to its response functions and
analyzing the environment in terms of stimulus functions.
Functional analysis of object permanence accounts for the behavior by pointing to its
usual effects or consequences.
-Object permanence occurs because searching for out-of-sight objects usually
resulted in finding them.
Function and structure are interrelated
Topography - ANSWER-The physical form or characteristic of the response.
ex.) a rat presses lever with left paw, the hind foot, etc.
Respondent Behavior - ANSWER-This occurs when an organism responds to a new
event based on a history of pairing with a biologically important stimulus. The
Russian physiologist Ivan Pavlov discovered this form of conditioning at the turn of
the century. He showed that dogs salivated when food was placed in their mouths.
This relationship between the food stimulus and salivation is called a reflex, and it
occurs because of the animal's biological history.
Respondent behavior is elicited - ANSWER-When Pavlov rang a bell just before
feeding the dog, it began to salivate at the sound of the bell. In this way, new
features - sound of bell - controlled the dog's respondent behavior - salivation. Thus,
presenting stimuli together in time - typically conditioned stimulus and then
unconditioned stimulus - is the procedure for respondent conditioning. If a
conditioned stimulus comes to regulate the occurrence of a conditioned response,
respondent conditioning has occurred.
Operant Behavior - ANSWER-Behavior modified by its consequences
-The process by which behavior is changed.
Voluntary behavior
Never use term ELICIT
Operant behavior is emitted - ANSWER-NEVER elicited
Operant - ANSWER-If responses in a class can be modified by their consequences
the class is called a(n) ______________ class.
Operant
