EDF 6225 Final Exam Rated A+ 2024 (Set 80)3 levels of scientific understanding (DPC) - ANSWER-description, prediction, control
3 Types of CMOs - ANSWER-surrogate (CMO-S)
reflexive (CMO-R)
transitive (CMO-T)
4 Methods for collecting IOA - ANSWER-total count IOA,
mean count-per-interval IOA,
exact count-per-interval IOA,
trial-by-trial IOA.
abative effect - ANSWER-A decrease in the current frequency of behavior that has been
reinforced by the stimulus that is increased in reinforcing effectiveness by the same
motivating operation.
Example: food ingestion abates (decreases the current frequency of) behavior that has
been reinforced by food. abolishing operation (AO)
Abolishing Operation (AO) - ANSWER-A motivating operation that decreases the
reinforcing effectiveness of a stimulus, object, or event. For example, the reinforcing
effectiveness of food is abolished as a result of food ingestion.
antecedent - ANSWER-is the environmental conditions or stimulus changes that exist or
occur prior to the behavior of interest.
antecedent, behavior, consequence - ANSWER-The three-term contingency is made of
these three terms:
arbitrary stimulus class - ANSWER-contains stimuli that evoke the same response but
do not share a common physical feature
Automatic Reinforcement - ANSWER-reinforcement that occurs independent of the
social mediation of others.
when a person's behavior creates a favorable outcome without the involvement of
another person.
behavior - ANSWER-An organism's interaction with the environment.
CMO-R - ANSWER-Example: The punishing coworker. In the presence of this person
you "can't seem to do anything right" and are constantly punished. She is always finding
fault with you. Because of this, you want to spend less time with this person and you
avoid her. Soon the office associated with her takes on these aversive qualities and you
avoid going anywhere near where this person might be. Even hearing their voice down
, the hallway may signal you to take an early lunch and avoid running into them (and
therefore avoid possible punishment).
CMO-S - ANSWER-EXAMPLE: Mom usually puts the baby to sleep. One day, dad tried
to put the baby to sleep, but the baby didn't fall asleep. Mom usually wears a certain
fuzzy house robe that the baby has paired with sleep. Dad wears mom's house robe
and the pairing of the robe with dad helps the baby fall asleep.
CMO-T - ANSWER-Example: Someone puts a lock on the fridge. This establishes the
reinforcing value of a key (key becomes the ____________) when access to food is
valuable as a source of reinforcement.
Concept Formation - ANSWER-Requires Stimulus control that has attained
generalization within a class of stimuli and discrimination between classes of stimuli.
conditioned punisher - ANSWER-A previously neutral stimulus change that functions as
a punisher because of prior pairing with one or more other punishers.
conditioned reinforcer - ANSWER-a stimulus that has acquired reinforcing properties
through prior learning
consequence - ANSWER-is anything immediately following a behavior in which we are
interested. Makes the behavior more or less likely to happen in the future.
Control - ANSWER-the highest level of scientific understanding. When you are able to
arrange conditions and manipulate the environment.
Dependent Variable (DV) - ANSWER-The measured behavior in an experiment to
determine if it changes as a result of manipulations of the independent variable; in
applied behavior analysis, it represents some measure of a socially significant behavior.
(Target behavior)
deprivation - ANSWER-is the absence or reduction of a reinforcer for a period of time. It
is an establishing operation that increases the effectiveness of the reinforcer and the
rate of behavior that produced that reinforcer in the past.
description - ANSWER-enhances the understanding of a given phenomenon.
Descriptive knowledge consists of a collection of facts about the observed events that
can be quantified, classified, and examined for possible relations with other known
facts.
Determinism - ANSWER-assumes that all behavior is the result of certain events. Once
these events are identified, future occurrences of a behavior can be modified.
direct measurement - ANSWER-Occurs when the behavior that is measured is the
same as the behavior that is the focus of the investigation.
