8Ali “punched”, which consisted of closed-fisted short jabbing strikes. Sometimes he punched objects (e.g., couches), and sometimes he punched people. Sometimes punching resulted in him receiving attention from staff and peers; sometimes it got him out of having to complete tasks (such as chores); and sometimes he did it when he was all alone (punching pillow at night). Thus, even though his various “punching” responses seemed to have different X , they all had a very similar Y .

21Hattie lives near the airport. Planes are on flight paths over her apartment building every day. They make a lot of noise and shake her entire apartment. On the day she moved in, her heart raced the first 2 or 3 times planes passed close overhead, but that soon subsided. She also had difficulty sleeping at night the first few nights. Soon that was also no longer a problem. She is now sleeping fine, and hardly notices when the flight path takes planes over her building. Hattie’s change in behavior in relation to the planes passing overhead is an example of:

27Akela exhibited the activation reflex response (flinching and racing heart) whenever she saw lighting, due to previous repeated pairings of lightning and nearby – very loud – thunder (initially, only the crack of thunder had made her jump). Then an entire rainy season passed with only distant storms, and she repeatedly saw lightning without hearing any loud thunder. Soon, Akela no longer jumped when she saw lightning. Months passed with no storms. Then one night, someone just outside of her window took a flash picture with a camera, and she jumped! Akela jumping at the sight of a flash of light, after not seeing any flashes for months, most likely exemplifies which of the following:

31Little Albert, a 2 year old boy, is in Dr. John’s lab. Dr. John held out a fuzzy bunny to little Albert and Dr. John’s assistant uses a metal hammer to strike a large metal bar, making a loud noise (CLANG!!). This causes Albert to flinch intensely, and then cry. Soon, whenever Dr. John holds out the fuzzy bunny to little Albert, he flinches and cries immediately, without any hammer strike being made to the metal bar. Little Albert’s flinching and crying in reaction to the presentation of the bunny (without hearing the CLANG sound) is best understood as:

48Michael got into a fight with his roommate at the group home. The next day, he began to tell his behavior analyst the details of the fight, but she kept typing on her computer and did not look at him. He walked away. At lunch time, he tried to tell her again, but she became busy doing something else, and he walked away. At the end of the day, he told the workshop manager what had happened, and she violated the program procedures by patting him on the shoulder and saying, “It’ll be okay.” Now, he often talks to his workshop manager about his fights with his roommate, but no longer tries to talk with his behavior analyst about fights with his roommate. Given this information, we can reasonably conclude that in terms of his “talking about his fights with his roommate”, the behavior analyst has become an:

86Pat is toilet training her son, Mike. She gives Mike a lollipop every time he voids in the toilet at home. She observes that Mike not only starts voiding in the toilet at home more frequently, but that he also starts using other toilets when they visit friends, go to the mall, go to pre-school, etc. This exemplifies:

87Two and a half year-old Eddie used to say “Ah”, and raise his arms when he wanted Kelly to pick him up.

97Kristin has not had anything to drink for a while, and her throat is dry. She gets up from her desk and goes to the soda vending machine. She reaches into her pocket and pulls out some change (FR1). This results in the sight of coins in her hand. She then puts four quarters into the machine (FR4). This results in the screen asking her to select a soda. Next, she presses 2 buttons needed to indicate which soda she wants (FR2). This results in the sound of a soda plopping down to the tray. Finally, she reaches into the machine and takes her soda (FR1), opens it (FR1) and drinks it. Kristin’s behavior is on what type of schedule?
