BACB 5th Edition Task List B1-15 Concepts and PrinciplesDefine and provide examples of behavior - correct answer is the general term used to describe the subject of behavior analysis; it refers to all activity of the living organism. Behavior: 1) only living things can behave 2) behavior requires an interaction between an organism and its surroundings 3) behavior involves measurable movement Examples: chewing food, swallowing, opening the fridge, ordering take out, reading, thinking about chocolate, (if a dead man can do it, its not behavior) Define and provide an example of response - correct answer is one instance of behavior Examples: each appropriate turn-taking response Define and provide an example of response class - correct answer is a group of responses that yield a common effect on the environment (i.e., responses with the same function). Examples: A student may exhibit a variety of responses to escape from work (e.g., requesting a break, asking to visit the school nurse, engaging in off-task conversation, or tearing up work materials). Define and provide an example of stimulus - correct answer a specific physical event that is detected by an organism and affects behavior Examples: Lights sounds odors people, praise being delivered, technology being presented and taken away Define and provide an example of stimulus class - correct answer a group of stimuli that share formal, temporal, or functional features. Formal: Based on physical dimensions Examples: all red objects, all round things Temporal: Based on the timing of occurrence relative to behavior Examples: antecedents and consequences Functional: Based on the effects on a response class Examples: SDs and MOs or reinforcers and punishers Define and provide an example of respondent conditioning - correct answer occurs when previously neutral stimuli acquire the capacity to elicit responses The procedure involves stimulus-stimulus pairings (i.e., neutral stimuli are paired with stimuli that elicit responses). Examples: it's not going hurt a bit- leads to fear- because of the conditioning, The bell makes dog salivate- because of the conditioning Define and provide an example of operant conditioning - correct answer occurs when a stimulus change immediately following a response results in an increase or decrease in the future frequency of similar responses under similar conditions. The procedure is the presentation or removal of a consequent stimulus. establishes relations between the behavior, its consequences, and certain antecedent stimuli. Examples: new child in school, they raise their hand, the teacher says thanks for raising your hand, what would you like to say... Similar events of raising your hand is likely to increase in the future in the presence of a similar environment (a teacher, classroom, school) because the behavior received praise and question was answered/attention was given
