D) response differentiation
C
2

False
3
B. F. Skinner was the first psychologist to bring introspection into the laboratory.
False
4
One advantage of working with pigeons in the Skinner box was that it was easier to get subjective measures there.

-You could readily discriminate between dark black and blinding white, so Professor Parilla pasted a green SD on the black card and a green S? on the white card. Then she asked you, what's a stimulus in the presence of which a response will be reinforced; and every time you touched the black card, she gave you a quarter spoon of crème Brule. After you got fifty hits of crème Brule in a row, she'd make the S? card slightly greyer. By the time you'd gained 50 extra pounds, you were reliably touching the white SD every time she asked you the SD question. (Warning: You'll need to pair this with two best-fit concepts.)

B)A set of stimuli, all of which have some common physical property.
C)Selecting a comparison stimulus corresponding to a sample stimulus.
D)A gradient of responding showing an increase in stimulus control, as the test stimulus becomes less similar to the training stimulus.
E)The behavioral contingencies in the presence of one stimulus affects the frequency of the response in the presence of another stimulus.
F)The use of a fading procedure to establish a discrimination, with no errors during the training.
G)Reinforcing or punishing a response in the presence of one stimulus class and extinguishing it or allowing it to recover in the presence of another stimulus class.
H)The criteria for measurement are completely specified in physical terms and the event being measured is public and therefore observable by more than one person.
I)The physical properties of a stimulus.
J)At first, the SD and the S? differ along at least one irrelevant dimension, as well as the relevant dimension. Then the difference between SD and the S? is reduced along all but the relevant dimensions, until the SD and the S? differ along only the relevant dimension.
K)The criteria for measurement are not completely specified in physical terms or the event being measured is a private, inner experience.
