CBCC prep Exam Complete QuestionsAnd Solutions
Steps of the Scientific Method CORRECT ANSWERS 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 CORRECT ANSWERS Basic unit of analysis in the analysis of
operant behavior
Analytic CORRECT ANSWERS Demonstrate a functional relation
Antecedent CORRECT ANSWERS Environmental conditions or stimulus changes that
occur prior to the behavior of interest
Antecedent stimulus class CORRECT ANSWERS Stimuli that share a common
relationship
Applied Behavioral Analysis CORRECT ANSWERS 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 CORRECT ANSWERS Reinforcement that occurs
independent of the social mediation of others
Automaticity of reinforcement CORRECT ANSWERS Behavior is modified by it's
consequences regardless of whether the individual is aware of reinforcement
Aversive stimulus CORRECT ANSWERS Stimulus conditions whose termination
functions as reinforcement
Avoidance Contingency CORRECT ANSWERS A contingency in which a response
prevents or postpones the presentation of a stimulus
Backup Reinforcer CORRECT ANSWERS Reinforcers that can be purchased with
tokens
Backward chaining CORRECT ANSWERS A teaching procedure in which all behaviors
are initially completed by the trainer except for the final behavior in the chain.
,Behavior CORRECT ANSWERS The portion of an organism's interaction with its
environment
Behavior chain CORRECT ANSWERS 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 CORRECT ANSWERS A sequence of behaviors that
must be performed correctly and within a specified time to be reinforced.
Behavioral contract CORRECT ANSWERS A document that specifies a contingent
relationship between the completion of a specified behavior and access to a reinforcer.
Behavioral cusp CORRECT ANSWERS 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 CORRECT ANSWERS Philosophy of the science of behavior
Concept Formulation CORRECT ANSWERS Stimulus control that requires both
stimulus generalization within a class of stimuli and discrimination between classes of
stimuli
Conditioned reinforcer CORRECT ANSWERS A stimulus change that functions as a
reinforcer because of prior pairing with one or more other reinforcers
Conditioned stimulus CORRECT ANSWERS Stimulus component of a conditioned
reflex
Consequence CORRECT ANSWERS Stimulus change that follows a behavior of
interest
Contingency CORRECT ANSWERS Dependent and/or temporal relations between
operant behaviors and its controlling variables
Contingent observation CORRECT ANSWERS Person is put in time out within setting
so they can see ongoing activities but access to reinforcers is lost
Continuous measurement CORRECT ANSWERS Measurement conducted in a manner
in which all instances of the response classes of interest are detected during
observation period
Count CORRECT ANSWERS Number of occurrences of a behavior
Deprivation CORRECT ANSWERS How much time has elapsed since it has consumed
or contacted a reinforcer
,Determinism CORRECT ANSWERS The universe if a lawful orderly place, phenomena
occur in relation to other events and not in an accidental fashion
Discriminated operant CORRECT ANSWERS An operant that occurs more frequently
under some antecedent conditions than under others
Discriminated stimulus CORRECT ANSWERS 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 CORRECT ANSWERS Differential Reinforcement of Alternate behavior
DRH CORRECT ANSWERS Differential reinforcement of high rates
DRI CORRECT ANSWERS Differential reinforcement of incompatible behavior
DRO CORRECT ANSWERS Differential reinforcement of other behavior
Duration CORRECT ANSWERS The length of time a behavior occurs
Empiricism CORRECT ANSWERS The objective observation of the phenomena of
interest
Escape contingency CORRECT ANSWERS A response in which a response terminates
(escapes from) an ongoing stimulus
Establishing operant CORRECT ANSWERS Motivating operant that increases
effectiveness of stimulus as a reinforcer
Event recording CORRECT ANSWERS Count of the number of times a behavior occurs
Exclusion time out CORRECT ANSWERS Person is removed physically from the
environment for a specified period
Explanatory fiction CORRECT ANSWERS A fictitious variable that takes another name
for the observed phenomena it claims to explain and contributes nothing
Extinction CORRECT ANSWERS The discontinuing of a reinforcement for a previously
reinforced behavior
Extinction burst CORRECT ANSWERS An increase in the frequency of responding
when an extinction procedure initially implemented
Feature stimulus class CORRECT ANSWERS Stimuli that share common physical
forms or structures or relative relationships. "made from wood".
, Forward chaining CORRECT ANSWERS A teaching procedure that begins with the
learning being prompted to perform the first behavior, trainer completes remaining
steps.
Functional Relation CORRECT ANSWERS Establishing a consistent effect on the DV
by manipulating the IV, unlikely to be a result of extraneous variables.
Dependent variable DV CORRECT ANSWERS The variable measured to determine if it
changes as a result if manipulating the IV
Experiment CORRECT ANSWERS 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 CORRECT ANSWERS Process for identifying and selecting
examples that represent the full range of stimulus variations and response requirements
in the generalization settings.
generalization CORRECT ANSWERS A generic term for a variety of behavioral
processes and behavior change outcomes.
habilitation CORRECT ANSWERS When a person's repertoire has been changed so
that the short and long-term REINFORCERS are Maximized and short and long-term
PUNISHERS are Minimized
habituation CORRECT ANSWERS A decrease in responsiveness to repeated
presentation of a stimulus
History of reinforcement CORRECT ANSWERS All of a person's LEARNING
experiences
Imitation behavior CORRECT ANSWERS A behavior controlled by physical movement
as a model, has similarity with the model and immediately follows the model.
Independent variable CORRECT ANSWERS The variable that is systematically
manipulated to see whether it produces reliable changes in the DV
Indescriminable contingency CORRECT ANSWERS A contingency in which the learner
cannot discriminate whether the next response will produce reinforcement. (Reinforces
some but not all occurrences of responses)
IOA CORRECT ANSWERS 2 or more observes report the same observed values after
measuring the same events
