Exam 31: Shaping and Schedules of Reinforcement: A Comprehensive Guide

If a child is taught to say "dog" when viewing different dogs, then the child is likely to generalize and refer to any variety of dog as a "dog".This would be an example of: a) training sufficient stimulus exemplars $\quad$$\quad$ b) training sufficient response exemplars c) response generalization $\quad$$\quad$$\quad$$\quad$$\quad$$\quad$$\quad$ d) behavior maintenance

According to Suzie's teacher, "Suzie is a good student because she is highly motivated." This is an example of____________ view of motivation:

An interval recording system is one in which the observation period is scored as occurring or not occurring during very brief observation intervals, each of which is separated by some longer period of time.

Recent studies indicate that the recidivism rates of pre-delinquents who had been in token programs using the teaching family model is about the same as pre-delinquents who had been in traditional programs.

Conditioned sensing involves the operant component of thinking.

A recent review of trends in time-out research concluded that more research was needed to evaluate the relative efficacy of exclusionary vs.nonexclusionary time-out.

When reinforcement occurs after some but not all responses, a(n) _______schedule of reinforcement is being used.

A reinforcer that is based on a number of different back-up reinforcers is called a(n):

The procedure used for developing a new behavior by successively reinforcing closer approximations and extinguishing preceding approximations to achieve a final desired behavior is called:

Personalized System of Instruction, or PSI, was developed by Fred Keller and his colleagues.

On Monday, a parent says to a child, "If you clean your room each Saturday morning, I'll give you two dollars." The next Saturday, the child cleans his room.This illustrates an example of:

Thought stopping is likely to be an effective strategy for decreasing persistent, obsessive thoughts provided that it is combined with:

In a publication in 1920, __________and __________described a demonstration of Pavlovian conditioning of a fear response in an 11-month-old infant:

Which of the following is not a tactic for programming stimulus generalization?

Always having a readily available conditioned reinforcer to strengthen each new response that is added to the sequence in the chain is a theoretical advantage of:

In Pavlovian conditioning, the CS acquires greater ability to elicit a CR if:

Which of the following is not a typical source of help for managing a token economy:

An individual is reinforced if a target response does not occur throughout a particular interval, and each response typically "resets" the interval back to zero.This refers to a(n)________schedule.

Any characteristic of a stimulus that can be measured on some continuum is referred to as a dimension of a stimulus.

Ignoring the behavior of a person is always an example of extinction.
