BEHV 4010: Exam 3From Experiment 1:
a. How did the authors ensure that a task was "easy" vs. "difficult"?
b. What forms of attention were delivered AND
how often in the 100 conditions?
c. What forms of attention were delivered
AND how often in the 33 conditions? - ANS-A: Easy tasks were identified during
pre-assessment and was the task(s) the participants always responded correctly.
Difficult tasks were those that the child scored at chance levels about 25% or lower.
B: Mands, praise and comments were delivered every 10 seconds.
C: Mands and praise were delivered together in the same interval. This lead to every
third 10 second interval a form of attention was delivered. Comments were withdrawn
during this condition.
Distinguish between socially-mediated positive and negative reinforcement.
Distinguish between automatic-positive and automatic-negative reinforcement.
What is one common feature amongst all of these variables? - ANS-• Positive: person
delivers an event contingent on the response
• Negative: person removes an event/ceases an activity contingent on the response
When an individual obtains something that increases or maintains their behavior as a
result of something they did it is referred to as an automatic positive.
Automatic negative is when the person loses or removes something as a result of their
own behavior.
They all have reinforcement in common; they all maintain or increase the behavior.
What does it mean to select a treatment based upon the topography of the behavior:
What does it mean to select a treatment based upon the topography of the treatment:
, And, what is the shared limitation between these two approaches? - ANS-Hitting, SIB,
lying
Time-out, planned to ignore
Both do not consider the function
describe these two difficulties associated with selecting a treatment based upon the
treatment's social validity ratings - ANS-* Results derived from surveys to determine a
degree of "acceptability".
* How informed are the raters? (how well do raters understand the nature of the
problem, the exact procedures being evaluated, the relative risk associated with both
the problem and procedure, and the relative effectiveness of different procedures.)
In addition, a treatment can have high acceptability but poor effectiveness and
vice-versa
Why is the communication model an inaccurate and incomplete account of behavioral
function? - ANS-1. Does not account for automatic reinforced behavior
2. Treatment based upon providing reinforcemnet on the absence of problem behavior
(DRO) may be effective
3. Communication model does not explicitly include an extinction component but
focuses on an alternative response
Define establishing operation - ANS-class of antecedent events that temporarily alters
the effectiveness of reinforcement and changes the frequency of behaviors that produce
reinforcement
What is the common limitation amongst treatments that solely focus on manipulating the
EO? - ANS-requires knowledge about the behavior's source of reinforcement, but it is
achieved without elimination of the maintaining contingency.
Describe a treatment that is an EO manipulation for behavior maintained by:
Social-positive reinforcement:
Social-negative reinforcement:
Automatic-positive reinforcement:
Automatic-negative reinforcement: - ANS-Noncontingent reinforcement of the functional
reinforcer
