Answer:

fading Question 2: a response which is elicited (without previous conditioning history) by an unconditioned stimulus

Answer:

Unconditioned Response (UR)

Question 3: successive approximations to a terminal (goal) behavior

Answer:

shaping Question 4: reinforcement of a lower rate of behavior in order to decrease the probability of the response

Answer:

Differential Reinforcement of Low Rate Behavior (DRL)

Question 5: a set of stimuli with at least one common characteristic (also known as a concept)

Answer:

stimulus class

Question 6: the effect of

1) increasing the probability of a response through the presentation of an Sd or 2) decreasing the probability of a response through the presentation of an S-delta (both effects are the result of discrimination training)

Answer:

stimulus control Question 7: the vertical (Y) axis of a graph on which responses are usually indicated

Answer:

ordinate Question 8: engaging in response which prevents or postpones the onset of an aversive stimulus

Answer:

avoidance Question 9: any supplemental stimulus, such as physical assistance, verbal cue, or model, used to evoke a respose

Answer:

prompt Question 10: the pairing of a neutral stimulus with an unconditioned stimulus until the neutral stimulus becomes a conditioned stimulus eliciting a conditioned response

Answer:

respondent conditioning Question 11: a stimulus is presented contingent upon response which increases the future probability of the response

Answer:

positive reinforcement

Question 12: any object of event which can be percieved through one's senses (sight, hearing, smell, taste, or touch)

Answer:

Stimulus Question 13: reinforcement of one or more behaviors which are physically incompatible with the behavior one is trying to decrease

Answer:

Differential Reinforcement of Incompatible Behavior (DRI) Question 14: reinforcing a particular response and witholding reinforcement for (extinguishing) all other responses

Answer:

Differential Reinforcement Question 15: reinforcing a particular response results in other responses (in the same response class) occuring more frequently

Answer:

response generalization Question 16: a set of responses with at least one thing in common (topographically similar or have similar effects on the environment)

Answer:

response class

Question 17: a response occurs after it is first established

Answer:

maintenance (retention or generalization across time)

Question 18: A stimulus which inherently elicits an unconditioned response

Answer:

Unconditioned Stimulus (US)

Question 19: a stimulus that gains its reinforcing effect by being paired with one or more reinforcers

Answer:

conditioned or secondary reinforcer Question 20: reinforcement of a higher rate of a behavior in order to increase the probability of the response

Answer:

Differential Reinforcement of High Rate Behavior (DRH) Question 21: engaging in a behavior which changes the probability of another one's own behavior

Answer:

self-control Question 22: stimulus that gains its reinforcing effect by being paired with several reinforcers

Answer:

generalized conditioned reinforcer Question 23: a response which is reinforced in the presence of a particular discriminative stimulus occurs in the presence of a different discriminative stimulus

Answer:

stimulus generalization Question 24: an observeable behavior which can be detected through one or more of the

senses: sight, hearing, taste, smell, or touch

Answer:

response

Question 25: The response pattern and movement through space

Answer:

topography
