PSYC 4032 Ch 4 questions with correct

answers


1. Identify three behaviors that could all belong to the operant class of getting someone's attention. -

ANSWER✔✔-1. Any behavior that has resulted in someone looking at you. Examples include: raising your

hand, calling the person's name, throwing something at them, and tapping them on the shoulder.


2. What does it mean that a discriminative stimulus sets the occasion for a behavior? - ANSWER✔✔-2.

The probability of engaging in the behavior increases in the presence of the SD.


3. What is "chunking" with regards to habits? - ANSWER✔✔-3. The brain pattern of high activity before a

cue or signal, low brain activity during the routine associated with the cue, and high neural activity at the

reward. "Chunking" is indicative of an automatic behavioral routine or habit at the neural level.


4. Describe the implications of Mendoza and colleagues' (2014) findings when flies with a mutation in

the dFoxP gene and flies with reduced dFoxP gene expression were tested for BCL and SRL using the yaw-

torque method. - ANSWER✔✔-4. Both mutation and gene expression research strategies yielded

essentially the same results: dFoxP is necessary for BCL but not for SRL, suggesting that operant

contingencies involve two distinct types of learning (BCL and SRL) at a neurobiological level. The findings

also lend support to the hypothesis that BCL, as regulated by the FoxP gene, may be one of the

evolutionary ancestral capacities underlying the evolution of FoxP2 and human language.

5. Frank's dog frequently jumped on the couch until Frank began turning his back and not talking to the

dog whenever it jumped on the couch. What type of operant contingency is Frank using to train his dog?

Explain your answer. - ANSWER✔✔-5. Frank is using positive punishment. He removes his attention and

talking to the dog when it engages in the behavior (jumping on the couch) and the rate of the response

decreased as a result of the training procedure.


6. Under what conditions did Cameron and colleagues (2001) find that rewards negatively impact

intrinsic motivation? - ANSWER✔✔-6. Rewards decrease intrinsic motivation when they are loosely tied

to performance—when people are rewarded for just "showing up."


7. Imagine that your roommate spends 45 minutes a day playing video games, 30 minutes cleaning the

apartment, and 15 minutes reading a novel or other non-school book. With this information, how would

you use the Premack principle to increase the time your roommate spends cleaning the apartment?

Explain why this contingency would work. - ANSWER✔✔-7. The Premack principle says that providing

contingent access to a higher-frequency behavior will function as a reinforcement for a lower-frequency

behavior. Making access to playing the video game for 30 minutes per day contingent on cleaning for 15

minutes per day would act as reinforcement for cleaning.


8. How does Timberlake and Allison's (1974) equilibrium analysis differ from Premack's views of

reinforcement? - ANSWER✔✔-8. Equilibrium analysis states that when a contingency is set between an

instrumental response and a contingent response, equilibrium is disturbed—creating response

deprivation. The organism engages in more of the instrumental response to restore the equilibrium.

Premack's views did not take into regard equilibrium, just the relative frequency of the behaviors.
