UWF EDF 6225 Exam 2.Testbbank 2024/20251. What is positive reinforcement?: the addition or presentation of a stimulus that
results in an increase in future behavior
2. How do we confirm a stimulus serves as reinforcement?: There is data to show the
behavior increased.
3. Where does reinforcement fall in the 3 term contingency?: consequence
4. When should reinforcement be delivered?: immediately
5. Why should reinforcement be delivered immediately?: You don't want to allow
enough time for another behavior to occur & potentially reinforce the wrong behavior
6. What is a discriminative stimulus?: a stimulus that signals that reinforcement will
be available
7. What is an S-Delta?: Stimulus that lets you know a behavior will NOT be
reinforced, tells you reinforcement is not available.
8. A reinforcer only functions as reinforcement if the data shows the behavior
occurred _______ in the future.: more
9. What is an establishing operation?: A motivating operation that increases the
effectiveness of some stimulus. Ex: deprivation
10. What is an abolishing operation?: A motivating operation that decreases the
current effectiveness of some stimuli. Ex: satiation
11. What is a motivating operation?: An environmental event that alters the
EFFECTIVENESS of a reinforcer
12. What is rule-governed behavior?: Delayed consequences that influence behavior.
It's a contingency that's not immediate but it still influences behavior. Ex: working for a
biweekly paycheck
13. What are some indicators of rule governed behavior?: - no immediate
consequence
-response to consequence delay >30secs.
-behavior increases w/o reinforcement
-large increase in behavior following 1 instance of reinforcement
14. What is superstitious behavior?: it occurs when reinforcement "accidentally"
follows a behavior when the behavior did not actually provide the reinforcement. ex:
lucky socks
15. What is automatic reinforcement?: When the behavior itself provides the
reinforcement. ex: pen tapping, hair twirling, nail biting
16. What is an unconditioned reinforcer?: a reinforcer that requires no learning
experience in order to be effective

, 17. What is a conditioned reinforcer?: A stimulus that was initially neutral but
became a reinforcer through pairing with other stimulus.
18. What is a generalized conditioned reinforcer?: A reinforcer that has been paired
with so many other stimuli that it is not affected by EO.
19 What is a free operant preference assessment?: All stimuli are available, there is no
response requirement, no stimuli are removed from trial
20. What is a contrived free operant preference assessment?: The participant
receives a sample of each stimulus prior to observation & during observation the
engagement with each stimulus is timed and observed.
21. What is a naturalistic free operant preference assessment?: Takes place in an
everyday environment, no prior sampling of stimuli, observe time & engagement
with each stimulus
22. What is a single stimulus preference assessment?: items presented one at a time
in random order
23. What is a paired stimulus preference assessment?: -client is presented with 2
items and must choose one
-all items are paired with each other
-preferences are ranked high, medium, low
24. What is a multiple stimulus preference assessment with replacement?: -3 or
more items presented in an array
-when an item is selected it continues to appear in subsequent trials
25. What is a multiple stimulus preference assessment without replacement?: -3
or more items presented in an array -when an item is selected it is removed from the
array for subsequent trials
-selections are made until all items have been chosen & then they are ranked
26. What is a reinforcer assessment?: measuring a stimuli's effectiveness as a
reinforcer
27. What is a concurrent reinforcer assessment?: 2 stimuli are paired against each
other & data is compared to see which has the greatest increase in behavior
28. What is a multiple schedule reinforcer assessment?: 2 or more schedules or
reinforcement are in place with only one at a time being used. An SD will signal which
schedule is in effect.
29. What is a progressive ratio?: Reinforcer preferences will change as response
requirements increase
30. What is non contingent reinforcement?: It is an antecedent intervention where
known reinforcers are delivered on a schedule independent of behavior.
31. What is DRO?: Differential Reinforcement of Other Behavior: reinforcement
delivered contingent on a problem behavior NOT occurring during an interval or
specified moment
