______________is also known as identity matching. This is the action of the subject
matching the primary stimulus to the target stimulus. The showing of a picture of a bird
and the child responds with "bird." - ANSWER reflexivity
_____________ describes the two-way relationship of matching. Example: show a picture
of a bird and say "bird." Then point to the picture of the bird and the subject responds
with "bird." - ANSWER symmetry
_________ occurs when the equation if A = B and if B = C, then A = C. Otherwise said, one
stimulus is matched to a second stimulus. The second stimulus is matched to the third
stimulus. By this relationship, the subject learns that the first stimulus and third stimulus
are also matching. For instance, when you say "bird" and show the child a picture of a
bird then after showing him a picture of a bird and matching it to a real bird in a cage,
the relationship for saying bird for the caged animal is acquired. - ANSWER transitivity
Who is credited with much of the pioneering research in stimulus equivalence? -
ANSWER Murray Sidman
Matching to sample procedure arranges a four-term contingency. Sample stimulus
(antecedent stimuli) Correct comparison (antecedent stimuli) Selection Response
Reinforcer The performance produced by this four-term contingency is called? -
ANSWER conditional discrimination
NAME A TYPE OF NONEQUIVALENCE RELATION - ANSWER distinction relations,
spatial and temporal relations, causal relations
What two types of models are part of imitation? - ANSWER planned and unplanned
, Which of the following is NOT a condition for imitation? Immediacy; formal similarity;
Mirroring; or Model producing the controlling response - ANSWER mirroring
With an understanding of the imitation process, applied behavior analysts can use
imitation as an intervention to: a.) Eliminate Old Behaviors b.) Evoke New behaviors c.)
Create teaching sequences d.) Reinforce appropriate behaviors - ANSWER b.) Evoke
New behaviors
The controlling variable for an imitative behavior is: a.) An operative behavior b.)An
imitative response chain c.) A model d.) A pre-task - ANSWER c.) A model
Learning to buy a soft drink from a vending machine by first watching someone else buy
a soft drink would be an example of: a.) Planned echoic stimuli b.) Unplanned echoic
stimuli c.) Planned models d.) Unplanned models - ANSWER d.) Unplanned models
Which of the following describes imitative behavior when a child immediately after
observing her father picks up a fork: a.) Planned similarity b.) Unplanned similarity c.)
Formal similarity d.) Informal similarity - ANSWER c.) Formal similarity
Regardless of the behavior modeled, as a result of imitation training, what should the
learner do? a.) What the model does b.) What the trainer asked or commanded c.) What
behavior fits the situation d.) What behavior will receive reinforcement - ANSWER a.)
What the model does
Potential learners cannot imitate if they do not possess this prerequisite skill: a.) The
behavior in their repertoire b.) Attending to the model c.) Decrease in problem behavior
d.) Ability to define the behavior - ANSWER b.) Attending to the model
The two essential procedural components of shaping are: - ANSWER differential
reinforcement and successive approximations
What are some behavioral dimensions you can change using differential reinforcement?
- ANSWER topography, rate, latency, duration, interresponse time and magnitude
