#1
Which of the following is an example of a behavioral intervention?
Implementing a token economy system
ExplanationToken economy systems are a form of behavioral intervention involving reinforcement through tokens.
#2
What is a key component of implementing a token economy system?
Issuing tokens as rewards
ExplanationIssuing tokens as rewards is a fundamental aspect of a token economy system, reinforcing desired behaviors.
#3
Which of the following best defines stimulus control?
The control of stimuli over an individual's behavior
ExplanationStimulus control refers to the influence of environmental cues on behavior, determining when behaviors occur.
#4
What is the primary objective of stimulus control techniques?
To establish specific stimuli that reliably evoke desired behaviors
ExplanationStimulus control techniques aim to establish environmental cues that consistently elicit desired behaviors.
#5
In stimulus control, what does discriminative stimulus refer to?
A stimulus that signals the availability of reinforcement
ExplanationDiscriminative stimuli indicate when a specific behavior will be reinforced.
#6
Which of the following is an example of stimulus control?
A dog sitting when told to do so by its owner
ExplanationStimulus control involves eliciting specific behaviors through environmental cues or commands.
#7
What is the primary goal of using stimulus control techniques in behavioral interventions?
To increase the frequency of certain behaviors
ExplanationStimulus control techniques aim to establish environmental cues that increase the occurrence of desired behaviors.
#8
Which of the following is a characteristic of a discriminative stimulus?
It signals the availability of reinforcement
ExplanationDiscriminative stimuli indicate when a specific behavior will be reinforced.
#9
In the context of behavioral interventions, what is meant by response generalization?
The tendency for behaviors to occur in the presence of similar stimuli
ExplanationResponse generalization refers to the extension of learned behaviors to similar, untrained stimuli.
#10
Which principle of stimulus control involves consistently reinforcing a behavior in the presence of a specific stimulus and not reinforcing it in its absence?
Discrimination training
ExplanationDiscrimination training establishes when a behavior is reinforced, depending on the presence or absence of specific stimuli.
#11
What is the primary purpose of extinction in behavioral interventions?
To eliminate an undesirable behavior by removing reinforcement
ExplanationExtinction involves removing reinforcement to decrease the occurrence of undesirable behaviors.
#12
What is the concept of extinction in the context of behavioral interventions?
The elimination of undesirable behaviors by removing reinforcement
ExplanationExtinction involves removing reinforcement to decrease the occurrence of undesirable behaviors.
#13
Which of the following is a key aspect of stimulus control?
The consistency of reinforcement
ExplanationConsistent reinforcement in the presence of specific stimuli strengthens stimulus control.
#14
Which of the following is a key aspect of implementing a token economy system?
Maintaining consistency in token distribution and exchange
ExplanationConsistency in token distribution and exchange is crucial for the effectiveness of a token economy system.
