discriminative stimulus - ANSWERS-_________ control(s) a type of behavior
because it has been related to the differential availability or an effective
reinforcer for that type of behavior.
stimulus class - ANSWERS-When a group of stimuli all evoke the same response
(for example, when one sees a picture of a Border collie, a Doberman pinscher,
and a Labrador retriever, one says "that's a dog"), the group of stimuli is referred
to as:
Joe hits his teacher every time and only when she asks him to wash his hands. -
ANSWERS-Which of the following illustrates an example of stimulus control?
- When a dog has been trained to salivate when a bell rings by repeatedly pairing
meat powder and a bell, this is an example of stimulus control.
and
- When an individual has been trained to say the word "red" when he is shown a
card that says RED (but not when he has been shown a card that says GREEN), this
is an example of stimulus control. - ANSWERS-Which of the following statements
is true?
,measurement - ANSWERS-The process of applying quantitative labels to observed
properties of events using a standard set of rules
- To evaluate effects of intervention
- Before and after treatment
- During treatment
- To guide decision making
- To prevent mistakes
- Continue ineffective treatment
- Discontinue effective treatment - ANSWERS-practioners need measurement for:
- Optimize effectiveness
- Verify legitimacy of treatments
- Identify and end use of pseudoscience
- Accountability
- Meet ethical standards - ANSWERS-benefits of measurement
- Repeatability or countability:
- behavior can be counted
- Temporal extent:
-duration
,- Temporal locus:
- when behavior occurs - ANSWERS-Three fundamental properties of
measureable dimensions of bx
count, rate, celeration - ANSWERS-measures based of repeatability
- Take complexity of response into account
- Useful measure for free operants
- Not appropriate for responses within discrete trials
- Not appropriate for continuous behavior over extended period - ANSWERS-
guidelines for usinf rate
- Is a measure of count per unit time/ per unit of time or expressed another way
rate/unit of time
- Celeration is a measure of how rates of response change over time.
- Reported using Standard Celeration Chart
- Captures behavior acceleration and decelerat - ANSWERS-celeration
measurement
- # of responses per unit of time
- A rate measure is a ratio consisting of the dimensional quantity of count
(number of responses) and time (observation period in which the count was
obtained)
- More meaningful than count alone
, - Include counting time for reference
- As long as the unit of time is standard within or across experiments, rate
measures can be compared.
- Rate of correct and incorrect responses helpful in skill development
- Reported as number per standard unit of time - ANSWERS-rate measurement
- # of responses emitted during an observation period
- Reported as frequency count
- Measures of count alone do not provide sufficient information for analysis -
ANSWERS-count measurement
- Duration
- The amount of time a behavior occurs
- Total duration of session
- Duration of each occurrence
- Reported in standard time units
- Count and duration measures provide different pictures of same behavior -
ANSWERS-measures based on temporal extent
Response latency ; interresponse time - ANSWERS-measures based on temporal
locus
- Measure of elapsed time between onset of stimulus and initiation of response
