Exam 2: Methods for Changing Target Behaviors

What type of schedule is used to establish new behaviors and is not resistant to extinction (i.e., a continuance of the behavior is unlikely in the absence of reinforcement)?

The element of certainty in a group involves:

Negative reinforcement is a commonly misunderstood concept. Explain how negative reinforcement works using the A-B-C paradigm of applied behavior analysis, and how negative reinforcement influences future rate of occurrence of the target behavior.

The element of connection involves:

Distinguish between DRO, DRI/DRA, and DRL.

Consider the methods to eliminate behavior discussed in this chapter. Identify one method that you have witnessed implemented successfully by a teacher, and another method you feel was implemented unsuccessfully. Evaluate the teachers' implementation of these strategies and offer constructive feedback.

When there is an unexpected occurrence of a target behavior that had been previously extinguished, it is called ________________.

Which of the following is an example of the Premack Principle?

A reinforcement schedule that requires the individual to emit an average number of correct responses to obtain reinforcement is called a(n)________________.

What term describes the delivery of a potential reward before a behavior occurs, in the hope that the behavior will be performed?

The element of standing in a group involves how an individual:

Why are generalized reinforcers considered so useful in applied behavior analysis? Cite at least three reasons.
