CBCC Prep Complete Questions And Answers WithVerified Study Solutions
Steps of the Scientific Method ANS 1. Ask a Question
2. Do Background Research
3. Construct a Hypothesis
4. Test Your Hypothesis by Doing an Experiment
5. Analyze Your Data and Draw a Conclusion
6. Communicate Your Results
3-term contingency ANS Basic unit of analysis in the analysis of operant behavior
Analytic ANS Demonstrate a functional relation
Antecedent ANS Environmental conditions or stimulus changes that occur prior to the behavior of interest
Antecedent stimulus class ANS Stimuli that share a common relationship
Applied Behavioral Analysis ANS The science in which tactics derived from the principles of behavior are
applied to improve socially significant behavior and experimentation is used to identify the variables responsible for
the improvement of the behavior.
Automatic reinforcement ANS Reinforcement that occurs independent of the social mediation of others
Automaticity of reinforcement ANS Behavior is modified by it's consequences regardless of whether the
individual is aware of reinforcement
Aversive stimulus ANS Stimulus conditions whose termination functions as reinforcement
Avoidance Contingency ANS A contingency in which a response prevents or postpones the presentation of a
stimulus
,Backup Reinforcer ANS Reinforcers that can be purchased with tokens
Backward chaining ANS A teaching procedure in which all behaviors are initially completed by the trainer
except for the final behavior in the chain.
Behavior ANS The portion of an organism's interaction with its environment
Behavior chain ANS Specific sequence of responses in which each response produces a stimulus change that
functions as conditioned reinforcement for that response and an Sd for the next response.
Behavior chain with limited hold ANS A sequence of behaviors that must be performed correctly and within a
specified time to be reinforced.
Behavioral contract ANS A document that specifies a contingent relationship between the completion of a
specified behavior and access to a reinforcer.
Behavioral cusp ANS A behavior that has sudden and dramatic consequences that extend beyond the change
because it exposes the person to new environments, reinforcers, contingencies, responses and stimulus control
Behaviorism ANS Philosophy of the science of behavior
Concept Formulation ANS Stimulus control that requires both stimulus generalization within a class of stimuli
and discrimination between classes of stimuli
Conditioned reinforcer ANS A stimulus change that functions as a reinforcer because of prior pairing with one
or more other reinforcers
Conditioned stimulus ANS Stimulus component of a conditioned reflex
Consequence ANS Stimulus change that follows a behavior of interest
Contingency ANS Dependent and/or temporal relations between operant behaviors and its controlling variables
,Contingent observation ANS Person is put in time out within setting so they can see ongoing activities but
access to reinforcers is lost
Continuous measurement ANS Measurement conducted in a manner in which all instances of the response
classes of interest are detected during observation period
Count ANS Number of occurrences of a behavior
Deprivation ANS How much time has elapsed since it has consumed or contacted a reinforcer
Determinism ANS The universe if a lawful orderly place, phenomena occur in relation to other events and not in
an accidental fashion
Discriminated operant ANS An operant that occurs more frequently under some antecedent conditions than
under others
Discriminated stimulus ANS Stimulus in the presence of which responses of some type have been reinforced
and in the absence of which the same type of responses have not been reinforced.
DRA ANS Differential Reinforcement of Alternate behavior
DRH ANS Differential reinforcement of high rates
DRI ANS Differential reinforcement of incompatible behavior
DRO ANS Differential reinforcement of other behavior
Duration ANS The length of time a behavior occurs
Empiricism ANS The objective observation of the phenomena of interest
Escape contingency ANS A response in which a response terminates (escapes from) an ongoing stimulus
, Establishing operant ANS Motivating operant that increases effectiveness of stimulus as a reinforcer
Event recording ANS Count of the number of times a behavior occurs
Exclusion time out ANS Person is removed physically from the environment for a specified period
Explanatory fiction ANS A fictitious variable that takes another name for the observed phenomena it claims to
explain and contributes nothing
Extinction ANS The discontinuing of a reinforcement for a previously reinforced behavior
Extinction burst ANS An increase in the frequency of responding when an extinction procedure initially
implemented
Feature stimulus class ANS Stimuli that share common physical forms or structures or relative relationships.
"made from wood".
Forward chaining ANS A teaching procedure that begins with the learning being prompted to perform the first
behavior, trainer completes remaining steps.
Functional Relation ANS Establishing a consistent effect on the DV by manipulating the IV, unlikely to be a
result of extraneous variables.
Dependent variable DV ANS The variable measured to determine if it changes as a result if manipulating the IV
Experiment ANS A comparison of some measure of the DV under 2 or more different conditions in which one
factor at a time (IV) differs from one condition to another.
General case analysis ANS Process for identifying and selecting examples that represent the full range of
stimulus variations and response requirements in the generalization settings.
generalization ANS A generic term for a variety of behavioral processes and behavior change outcomes.
