$\bullet$A contingency that ________________________________.

Accepted Answer

Question 2

Discuss the similarities and differences between Fido and your little brother.

Accepted Answer

Fido and my little brother have some similarities and differences. Both Fido and my little brother are part of my family and are loved and cared for. They both require attention, care, and affection. They both have their own unique personalities and quirks that make them special.

However, there are also some differences between Fido and my little brother. Fido is a pet, while my little brother is a human being. Fido communicates through barking and body language, while my little brother communicates through speech and gestures. Fido requires different care and has different needs compared to my little brother. My little brother goes to school, has friends, and has his own interests and hobbies, while Fido spends most of his time at home and enjoys playing with toys and going for walks.

Overall, while there are some similarities between Fido and my little brother in terms of being part of the family and needing love and care, there are also significant differences in their nature, communication, and needs.

Question 3

Define the following concepts:
-rule-governed analog to a behavioral contingency

Accepted Answer

Rule-governed behavior refers to behavior that is controlled by verbal or written instructions, rather than by the immediate environment or consequences. In other words, individuals engage in rule-governed behavior when they follow a set of instructions or rules, even if the consequences of their actions are not immediately present.

An analog to a behavioral contingency is a situation or circumstance that is similar to a behavioral contingency, but not exactly the same. In the context of rule-governed behavior, an analog to a behavioral contingency would be a situation where a rule or instruction is provided to guide behavior, similar to how a behavioral contingency (i.e., a specific consequence for a behavior) would typically guide behavior. However, in this case, the guidance comes from a rule rather than a direct consequence.
