BCAT Exam Practice Questions and Answers (100% Pass)
Motivating Operations (MO) - Answer✔️✔️-An environmental variable that
alters the reinforcing effectiveness of some stimulus, object, or event.
Contingency - Answer✔️✔️-Refers to dependent and/or temporal relations
between operant behavior an it's controlling variables.
Satiation - Answer✔️✔️-Repeated presentation of a reinforcer weakens its
effectiveness and for this reason the rate of responses declines.
Positive Reinforcement - Answer✔️✔️-A type of reinforcement in which the
presentation of the stimulus is contingent upon the response, resulting in
an increase in the future probability of that response
Negative Reinforcement - Answer✔️✔️-A type of reinforcement in which
removal of a stimulus is contingent on a response, resulting in an increase
in the future probability of that response.
Positive Punishment - Answer✔️✔️-A type of punishment in which stimulus
presentation is contingent on a response, resulting in the decrease of the
future probability of that response
Negative Punishment - Answer✔️✔️-A type of punishment in which
stimulus removal is contingent on a response, resulting in the decrease of
the future probability of that response.
Establishing Operations (EO) - Answer✔️✔️-Increases motivation for
something and increases likelihood you will try to access that reinforcer
Abolishing Operations (AO) - Answer✔️✔️-Decreases motivation for
something and decreases likelihood you will try to access that reinforcer
Discriminative Stimulus (SD) - Answer✔️✔️-A stimulus in the presence of
which a particular response will be reinforced and in the absence of which
that response will not be reinf
Stimulus Control (Discriminative Control) - Answer✔️✔️-The tendency for
the target behavior to occur in the presence of the SD (b/c it was reinforced
in the past)
Discrimination Training - Answer✔️✔️-Teach the child to respond to/tell the
difference between two (or more) SDs.
Discrete Trial Training (DTT) - Answer✔️✔️-A specific method of teaching
in which a task is isolated and taught across multiple trials. A specific
opportunity (antecedent) is presented and a specific response is expected.
A consequence follows the response.
Fluency-Based Training - Answer✔️✔️-Taking an existing skill and
increasing accuracy and speed of skill performance in order to develop
competence
Errorless Learning - Answer✔️✔️-Involves early and immediate prompting
of the target response so that the learner's response is sure to be correct.
Most-to-Least Prompting - Answer✔️✔️-Fading from one type of prompt to
another less intrusive prompt. Most assistance to least assistance.
Least-to-Most Prompting - Answer✔️✔️-Staring with a least intrusive
prompt possible and the client is not successful, therefore having to move
to more intrusive prompts until the client responds.
Chaining - Answer✔️✔️-A chain of sequence of SDs and responses where
each response in the sequence (expect for the last one) produces the SD for
the next response in the sequence; A complex bx that is comprised of many
single responses that occur in a specific sequence
Forward Chaining - Answer✔️✔️-Begin with the first SD-Response
component in the chain and then continue forward though the remaining
SD-Response components
Backward Chaining - Answer✔️✔️-Begin with the final step, or the last SD-
Response component, then move backwards towards the remaining
components
Total Task Presentation - Answer✔️✔️-All of the SD-Response components
of the chain are taught during every learning trial. A reinforcer is delivered
after each SD-Response component.
Shaping - Answer✔️✔️-Systematically reinforcing successive
approximations of a target bx while extinguishing previous
approximations.
