QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS GRADED
A+
How does reinforcement affect the likelihood of a behavior occurring again?
✔✔Reinforcement increases the probability that a behavior will occur again in the future by
presenting a pleasant stimulus or removing an aversive one.
What does the term "operant behavior" refer to?
✔✔Operant behavior refers to actions that are influenced by the consequences that follow them,
such as reinforcement or punishment.
What does "stimulus control" mean in behavior analysis?
✔✔Stimulus control occurs when a behavior is more likely to occur in the presence of a specific
stimulus due to its association with reinforcement.
What is "generalization" in the context of behavior change?
✔✔Generalization is the tendency of a learned behavior to occur in different environments,
situations, or with different people, beyond the conditions in which it was originally learned.
1
,How does "extinction" impact a behavior?
✔✔Extinction occurs when reinforcement is no longer provided for a behavior, leading to a
decrease or elimination of that behavior over time.
What is the significance of using "differential reinforcement"?
✔✔Differential reinforcement involves reinforcing alternative, appropriate behaviors while
withholding reinforcement for undesired behaviors, helping to reduce problematic behaviors.
How does "task analysis" break down complex behaviors?
✔✔Task analysis involves breaking down complex behaviors or tasks into smaller, manageable
steps, making it easier to teach each part until the entire task is learned.
What is the difference between "positive reinforcement" and "negative reinforcement"?
✔✔Positive reinforcement involves adding a pleasant stimulus to increase behavior, while
negative reinforcement involves removing an aversive stimulus to increase behavior.
What is the function of a discriminative stimulus (SD)?
✔✔A discriminative stimulus signals that reinforcement is available if the target behavior is
performed, increasing the likelihood of that behavior occurring.
2
,How do "motivating operations" influence behavior?
✔✔Motivating operations affect an individual’s desire for certain reinforcers, which in turn
influences the likelihood of a behavior being performed.
What does "response maintenance" refer to in behavior analysis?
✔✔Response maintenance refers to the continued occurrence of a behavior after intervention has
ended, often due to the reinforcement history and environmental support.
What is the purpose of using "prompting" in behavior modification?
✔✔Prompting involves providing additional cues or assistance to help the learner perform the
desired behavior, which is gradually faded over time as the learner becomes more independent.
What is the difference between "continuous reinforcement" and "intermittent reinforcement"?
✔✔Continuous reinforcement provides reinforcement for every occurrence of a behavior, while
intermittent reinforcement provides reinforcement only some of the time, which helps to
maintain behavior and increases resistance to extinction.
How does "task interspersing" help with behavior change?
3
, ✔✔Task interspersing involves mixing easy tasks with difficult ones to maintain motivation and
increase the likelihood of completing the more challenging tasks.
What is the role of "self-monitoring" in behavior change?
✔✔Self-monitoring encourages individuals to track their own behavior, increasing awareness
and promoting self-regulation and accountability in behavior change.
What is a "behavioral contract," and how does it help in behavior management?
✔✔A behavioral contract is an agreement that outlines specific behaviors and the consequences
for meeting or not meeting those behaviors, providing clear expectations and accountability.
How does "stimulus fading" work in behavior modification?
✔✔Stimulus fading involves gradually altering the intensity or presence of a prompt or cue to
make the target behavior more likely to occur independently over time.
What is the significance of "behavioral momentum" in interventions?
✔✔Behavioral momentum refers to the likelihood that a behavior will continue once it has been
reinforced, and it can be used to help individuals transition from easy tasks to more difficult
ones.
