100% ACCURATE SOLUTIONS
A behavior analyst has implemented a behavior support plan that
includes extinction, DRA, and a mild punisher (firmly saying "no"). The
behavior support plan is effective in reducing the child's aggressive
behavior. The behavior analyst is uncertain which intervention(s) is
producing the behavior reduction. What could the behavior analyst do to
determine which of the interventions is effecting the behavior? - Precise
Answer ✔✔conduct a component analysis
A behavior analyst is attempting to determine the most effective amount
of attention to use as a reinforcer for a school child. After a baseline with
no praise contingent on completing a math problem, treatment is
implemented which involves 10 seconds of praise, 20 seconds of praise,
or 5 seconds of praise. This type of analysis is called a _____ - Precise
Answer ✔✔parametric analysis
A behavior that has sudden and dramatic consequences that extend well
beyond the idiosyncratic change itself because it exposes the person to
new environments, reinforcers, contingencies, responses, and stimulus
controls is called _____ - Precise Answer ✔✔behavioral cusp
A behavior that is elicited by antecedent stimuli and is "brought about"
by a stimulus that precedes it is _____ - Precise Answer ✔✔respondent
,A consequence that, when given contingent on the occurrence of a
behavior, decreases the likelihood of the behavior occurring in the future
- Precise Answer ✔✔positive punishment
A contingency contract - Precise Answer ✔✔specifies how two people
will behavior towards each other
A guiding principle for promoting generalized behavior change includes
- Precise Answer ✔✔involving significant others, choosing both the
least intrusive and least costly tactics, and contriving intervention tactics

A limitation of descriptive analysis is - Precise Answer ✔✔it can be
misleading, as environmental variables that occur close to the behavior
may not be causally related to the behavior
A motivating operation that decreases the reinforcing effectiveness of a
stimulus, object or event is called a(n) _____ - Precise Answer
✔✔abolishing operation

learning history is called a(n) _____ - Precise Answer ✔✔unconditioned
motivating operation

publicly observed as outside of the realm of science is called _____ -
Precise Answer ✔✔methodological behaviorism
, A previously neutral stimulus that now functions as a punisher because
of prior pairing with one or more punishers is called a _____ - Precise
Answer ✔✔conditioned punisher
A relation between the stimulus and response or response product that
occurs when the beginning, middle, and end for the verbal stimulus
matches the beginning, middle, and end of the verbal response is called -
Precise Answer ✔✔point-to-point correspondence
A situation in which the frequency, latency, duration or amplitude of a
behavior is altered by the presence or absence of an antecedent stimulus
is called _____ - Precise Answer ✔✔stimulus control
A stimulus change that does not elicit respondent behavior is ______ -
Precise Answer ✔✔neutral stimulus
A stimulus that acquires its MO effect by being paired with another MO
and has the same value-altering and behavior-altering effects as the MO
with which it was paired is called a(n) _____ - Precise Answer
✔✔surrogate conditioned MO
A _____ denotes a set or collection of knowledge and skills a person has
