8. 8What is most likely the function of this behavior?
   Dylan has been taking his clothes off in the classroom. During a structured observation, the therapist noticed that when the time for the class to go to the library approaches, Dylan gets really agitated. When the teacher announces, "Time to clean up to go to the library," Dylan will throw himself on the floor and start pulling his shirt off. It has now gotten to the point where he quickly pulls his socks and pants off, as well, so the office will call his mother to take him home.

30. 30[blank_start]Extinction[blank_end] - when a response (previously reinforced) is not followed by reinforcement, person is less likely to engage in behavior again
    

    1. AExtinction
31. 31[blank_start]Continuous[blank_end] Reinforcement - every correct response is reinforced; fast learning & fast extinction
    

    1. AContinuous
32. 32[blank_start]Intermittent[blank_end] Reinforcement - only some correct responses are reinforced; slow learning & extinction
    

    1. AIntermittent
33. 33[blank_start]Variable-ratio[blank_end] schedule - The number of responses required to produce reinforcement changes unpredictably from one reinforcement to the next. Produces a high steady rate of responding. Also produces no (or at least very small) post-reinforcement phase
    

    1. AVariable-ratio
34. 34[blank_start]Fixed-ratio[blank_end] schedule - Reinforcement occurs each time a set number of responses of a particular type are emitted. Produce high steady rate of responding until reinforcement, followed by a post-reinforcement pause. The higher the value of the FR the longer the pause. Produce high rate of extinction

35. 35When some of the behavior is tolerable (and it’s not feasible to completely eliminate it) and some of the behavior is desirable, it is best to use _____________________ .

    1. ADifferential reinforcement of low responding
    2. BDifferential reinforcement of ‘Zero’ responding
    3. CDifferential reinforcement of incompatible responding
    4. DDifferential reinforcement of alternate behavior
36. 36In _____________________ a reinforcer is presented only if response does not occur within time interval. If response occurs, timing of interval starts again. The length of the interval is increased gradually until behavior occurs very rarely or not at all and a minimum amount of reinforcement is given for nonoccurrence.

    1. ADifferential reinforcement of ‘Zero’ responding
    2. BDifferential reinforcement of low responding
    3. CDifferential reinforcement of incompatible responding
    4. DDifferential reinforcement of alternate behavior

    2. BDifferential reinforcement of ‘Zero’ responding
    3. CDifferential reinforcement of low responding
    4. DDifferential reinforcement of alternate behavior
38. 38______________________________ refers to the reinforcement of other, topographically dissimilar behavior.

    1. ADifferential reinforcement of alternate behavior
    2. BDifferential reinforcement of incompatible responding
    3. CDifferential reinforcement of ‘Zero’ responding
    4. DDifferential reinforcement of low responding
39. 39Whenever you come home from work, the first thing you do is feed your dog. As a result, your dog gets excited as soon as he hears your car pulling up at the driveway, barking and running to the door. Eventually, he begins to get excited as soon as any family member arrives in their car, thinking that he will get fed as well. Every time he hears any car pull up at the driveway, he starts barking and running to the door. That is Stimulus Generalization. But if none of the other family members ever feed the dog as soon as they arrive home, your dog eventually learns that it is only the sound of your car pulling up at the driveway that's worth getting excited about.
    This is an example of [blank_start]stimulus discrimination[blank_end].

    1. Astimulus discrimination
40. 40If a child has been conditioned to fear a stuffed white rabbit, it will exhibit fear of objects similar to the conditioned stimulus such as a white toy rat.
    This is an example of [blank_start]stimulus generalization[blank_end].

41. 41[blank_start]Stimulus control[blank_end] - a change in rate, latency, duration, or amplitude of the response in the presence of specific stimuli

    1. AStimulus control
42. 42Toothpaste tube is [blank_start]discriminative stimulus[blank_end] for unscrewing top, unscrewing top is [blank_start]discriminative stimulus[blank_end] for picking up toothbrush, picking up toothbrush is [blank_start]discriminative stimulus[blank_end] for putting toothpaste on it.

    1. Adiscriminative stimulus
    2. Bdiscriminative stimulus
    3. Cdiscriminative stimulus
43. 43[blank_start]Shaping[blank_end] - development of a new behavior by successive reinforcement of closer approximations and extinguishing of preceding approximations of behavior
    

    1. AShaping
44. 44[blank_start]Behavioral Chain[blank_end] - A sequence of discriminative stimuli (SDs) and responses (Rs) in which each response except the last produces the SD for the next response and the last response is followed by a reinforcer

    1. ABehavioral Chain
45. 45[blank_start]Forward Chaining[blank_end] - Initial step first. Then, first and second… etc. On each trial, last step is reinforced. [blank_start]Backward Chaining[blank_end] - Last step first. Trainer performs all previous steps, then has subject perform last step. Then, next-to-the last step is taught and linked with last step. On each trial, last step is reinforced.
    

    1. AForward Chaining
    2. BBackward Chaining
46. 46Label the table.

    

    1. APositive reinforcement
