EDUC 2130 Quiz #3 1. Which of the following is a definition of learning from an operant conditioning perspective? a. Learning is the unobservable mental process that individuals use to learn and remember information. b. Learning is the change in an individual's behavior over time as a result of pleasurable and painful consequences. c. Learning is taking in, processing, storing, and retrieving perceptual information. d. Learning is the association of stimuli that will automatically elicit a response with stimuli that will gain the organism’s attention. 2. A researcher found that students who scored high on a measure of global thinking style scored low on the mathematics portion of the SAT. The researcher can say that global thinking style and mathematics achievement are a. negatively correlated. c. internally correlated. b. positively correlated. d. externally correlated. 3. The first step in establishing a behavior modification program is to a. choose a reinforcer and criteria for reinforcement. b. choose a punisher and a criteria for punishment. c. establish a baseline for the target behavior. d. identify the target behavior(s). 4. In the model of the teaching/learning process discussed in class, the performance of a school guidance counselor would be classified as a(n) _____________ variable. a. context c. process b. input d. output 5. Catlin puts gum on Aisha’s chair. Aisha retaliates at lunch time by pouring her chocolate milk on Catlin’s sandwich. Catlin has apparently received a. response cost. c. negative reinforcement. b. positive reinforcement. d. punishment. 6. A consequence is considered a punisher if it a. is generally viewed by society as aversive. b. is generally regarded by the subject as aversive. c. reduces the frequency of the behavior that preceded it. d. has no effect on the frequency of the behavior that preceded it. 7. A learning strategy that allows a student to escape from an unpleasant situation by increasing appropriate behavior is called a. removal reinforcement. c. response reinforcement. b. response cost. d. negative reinforcment. 8. Whenever Lucy fails to turn in her homework, Ms. Valesky makes her stay after school. Unfortunately, the more Lucy is kept after school, the greater her tendency becomes NOT to do homework.

Use them on most tasks, regardless of their intrinsic incentive. 10. Dana punished her son whenever he hit his brother. She was consistent, delivered the punishment immediately after the behavior, was firm but used mild forms of punishment, and intervened early in the sequence of behaviors leading up to the misbehavior. Her son still hit, though. What could Dana be doing wrong? a. She is not using a harsh enough punishment. b. She is forgetting to explain fully why she is punishing her son. c. She is forgetting to reinforce her son for a positive alternative behavior. d. She is not allowing enough time between the behavior and the punishment. 11. In applying consequences for routine misbehavior, the most important factor is the ___________ of the punishment. a. nature c. duration b. certainty d. severity 12. Applied behavior analysis strategies use rewards in a more systematic way and a. avoid punishers for minor disruptions, but use them to show students who is boss. b. use punishers for all but the most minimal misbehavior. c. use punishers for every violation of the rules. d. avoid punishers as much as possible. 13. When Kent was tardy three days in a row, he lost his recess privileges for a week. What method of operant conditioning was used? a. Time out c. Negative reinforcement b. Response cost d. Presentation punishment 14. Ms. Jonassen is teaching a new math skill with which Maria is having great difficulty.

Maria Escalano collects homework on average two to three days a week, while Jack Evans collects homework every day. Both teachers score and return the homework the day after collecting it. Students in Ms. Escalano’s class receive reinforcement based on a __________ schedule, while students in Mr. Evans’ class receive reinforcement based on a ___________ schedule. a. fixed ratio, continuous c. variable interval, fixed interval b. variable ratio, fixed ratio d. variable interval, fixed ratio 16. Which of the following describes a theory? a. The better teachers are prepared the better educational experience they will provide students. b. Corrective feedback is beneficial because it tells students what they did correctly or incorrectly. c. Educators who have become certified through alternative means have a higher attrition rate than teachers who complete a traditional four-year preparation program. d. The measurement of learning by teachers inside the classroom is of relatively little importance compared to the scores received by students on standardized tests. 17.
