Exam 8: Stimulus Control

If changing contingencies of reinforcement on one schedule affect reinforced behavior on another schedule, ____ has occurred.

Responding "8" to the prompt "3 + 5" and "15" to the prompt "3 × 5" is an example of:

Which of the following would we expect from a participant that passes a test for generalized identity matching?

The S^D and S^∆ are presented at the same time and the organism responds to one or the other during a ______ procedure.

Decreasing the rate of reinforcement in the middle component of a MULT schedule produces a strong increase in rate of responding in the component that precedes the changed component. This is known as:

What is the discrimination index for a green light when the observed rate of responding in the presence of the green light is 50 responses per minute and the rate in the absence of the green light is 25 responses per minute?

A two-component schedule in which both components have separate stimuli is called a ______.

From a behavioral analysis standpoint, a failure to learn is most likely caused by:

If reinforcers on one schedule are depleted and responding in another schedule increases, we call this _____.

When an ______ is presented the probability of a response increases. When an _____ is presented the probability of response decreases.

In operant conditioning the antecedent stimulus paired with reinforcement is called a/an ______.

The discovery of cones in the retinas of pigeons led to an understanding of visual sensitivity. Visual sensitivity allows for ______ of the world that improves the reproductive success of birds.

Hooded crows used in a test conducted by Wasserman and colleagues (2015) demonstrated the ability to pass a test for relational matching to sample training, something for which they had not been explicitly trained. To what did they attribute this finding?

One possible drawback of the errorless training method is:

With careful shaping and fading one might develop a discrimination without _____.

According to White's research, pigeons trained on a delayed matching-to-sample (DMTS) procedure with a 5-second retention interval then tested in a procedure where the retention interval was systematically varied from 0 to 10 seconds would most likely show the greatest accuracy:

When organisms respond in one setting and not another they are ______. When they behave similarly they are _____ across circumstances.

Which of the following best illustrates the response chain for social referencing in infants?

_____ means that an organism responds to differences among the values of two or more stimuli.

If you trained a pigeon to turn a circle when a TURN sign was presented you could say the bird was _____.
