Chapter 2 An Introduction to ABA Concepts: Terminology, Principles, and Procedures Study Questions 1. Behavior involves personal states and feelings, such as, being happy, sad, or tired. T or F? Explain your choice. (p. 20) 2. Define the term learning and give an example. (p.21) 3. In relation to the definition of learning, how would you define teaching? (p. 21) 4. Change the following examples into response or operant class descriptions: (p. 22) a. Paul’s socks are stinky b. John’s is disruptive in class c. Glenda’s engages in risky behavior with strangers 5. Define, illustrate and distinguish the terms “learning” and “teaching.” (p.21) 6. “So what is this thing ‘applied behavior analysis’ that you do and how does it work?” a friend asks. Supply your answer? (p. 21-22) 7. Provide an example of an operant class from your own experience. Say why it qualifies as such. (p. 22) 8. List the points of the three point contingency. Give an example that incorporates each one and defend your selection. (p. 22) 9. Define and illustrate the following concepts: (p.23) a. Principle of behavior b. Behavioral Procedure 10. Define Positive Reinforcement, using the case of a parent and child to illustrate your definition. (p. 23) 11. Say how the term environment differs from the term stimulus? (p. 23) 12. An antecedent that influences behavior is called: (Circle the correct answer) (p. 23-24) a. A response b. A consequence c. A behavior d. A discriminative stimulus 13. Define what a stimulus class consists of and offer an example from a social situation, such as a conversation among friends. (p.23-24) 14. Give an example of: (p. 25) a. An unconditioned response b. A conditioned response 15. Explain the difference between unconditional stimuli (USs) and unconditional responses (URs). (p.25) 16. Place each of the following attributes into its correct box: (p.25-26) a. Novel stimulus-response combinations can be acquired through respondent conditioning b. Preceding stimuli directly produce respondent behaviors c. No learning is required d. Bright sunlight and pupillary reaction 17. Match the term on the right to its definition on the left: (p.25-27) a. Operant behaviors _____ Key focus is on antecedent stimuli as the cause of behavior b. Contingency _____ Specified relations between behavior and its antecedents and consequences c. Unconditioned respondent _____ Controlled by stimuli that follows the behavior d. Respondent learning _____ Behaviors elicited by stimuli that precede those behaviors 18. “Oh. That’s just a Pavlovian response,” your friend comments when you say you hate brussel sprouts. What is your friend talking about? (p. 25) 19. Explain the “C” in operant learning and supply an example from one of your own daily routines. (p.27) 20. Many people unfamiliar with the jargon of applied behavior analysis confuse the terms negative reinforcement and punishment. Say how you would clearly explain the difference to a close friend or relative by comparing, contrasting and illustrating positive reinforcement and negative reinforcement. (p. 27) 21. Define the term extinction and give a novel example. (p.28) 22. When using punishment as a consequence, behavior tends to increase. T or F? (p.28) a. Defend your answer. 23. John is trying to quit smoking. His wife sees him in the garage one evening smoking a cigarette and tells him “I am so disappointed to see you smoking, John. No kisses from me tonight!” What kind of punishment would this be considered and why? (p.28) 24. Match column A to column B: (p.27-28) a. Positive reinforcement _____ Stimulus added/behavior increases b. Positive punishment _____ Stimulus removed/behavior decreases c. Negative reinforcement _____ Stimulus added/behavior decreases d. Negative punishment _____Stimulus removed/behavior increases 25. What is meant by stimulus control? Provide a) a layman’s explanation; b) a technical behavior analytic explanation. (p.29) 26. Define the following three major types of stimuli and use an example from your shopping at the supermarket to provide a novel example for each: (p.29) Conditioned Stimuli Unconditioned Stimuli a. Stimulus discriminative for reinforcement b. Stimulus discriminative for extinction c. Stimulus discriminative for punishment 27. Technically define the terms stimulus discrimination and stimulus generalization.(p. 29) 28. Motivating operations are antecedent events that are either value-, or behavior-altering. Match the terms to their effects: (p.30) a. Value altering _______________ has an evocative effect b. Behavior altering _______________ decreases reinforcing effectiveness of some stimulus _______________ increases reinforcing effectiveness of some stimulus ______________ has an abative effect 29. While discriminative stimuli and motivating operations both are antecedents, they are not the same. Explain the differences. (p.29-30)
