In behavior analysis, what does the term 'operant conditioning' refer to?

Learning through consequences of behavior

Explanation

Learning based on outcomes of actions.

Which of the following is NOT a primary function of behavior in behavior analysis?

To control

Explanation

Behavior doesn't inherently control.

Which of the following is an example of a positive reinforcer?

Giving a sticker for completing a task

Explanation

Rewarding desired behavior.

What is the primary goal of functional behavior assessment (FBA)?

To identify the function of a behavior

Explanation

Understanding why a behavior occurs.

Which of the following is NOT a component of the ABC model in behavior analysis?

Conditioning

Explanation

ABC: Antecedent, Behavior, Consequence.

What is the term used in behavior analysis to describe the process of reinforcing successive approximations to a desired behavior?

Shaping

Explanation

Rewarding steps towards a target behavior.

What is the term used in behavior analysis to describe the weakening of a behavior through the removal of a reinforcing stimulus?

Extinction

Explanation

Behavior decrease due to lack of reward.

Which of the following best defines the term 'discriminative stimulus' in behavior analysis?

A stimulus that signals the presence of reinforcement

Explanation

Cue indicating potential reward.

Which of the following is NOT a type of reinforcement schedule in behavior analysis?

Random-extinction

Explanation

No reinforcement following a behavior.

#10

What does the term 'chaining' refer to in behavior analysis?

The process of linking individual responses together to form a complex behavior

Explanation

Connecting behaviors to form a sequence.

#11

In behavior analysis, what is the term for the process of gradually decreasing the size or intensity of a reinforcer to promote self-control?

Thinning

Explanation

Decreasing reward magnitude.

#12

What does the term 'response generalization' mean in behavior analysis?

The transfer of a behavior from one situation to a similar one

Explanation

Applying learned behavior in new contexts.

#13

In behavior analysis, what is the term for the process of gradually reducing the frequency of reinforcement for a behavior that has been previously reinforced on a continuous schedule?

Thinning

Explanation

Decreasing reward frequency.
