Discrimination Learning in Behavior Analysis Quiz

#1

In discrimination learning, what does the term 'discriminative stimulus' refer to?

A stimulus that signals the availability of reinforcement
Explanation

Signal for reinforcement

#2

What is the term for the process of gradually reducing the frequency or strength of a behavior by withholding reinforcement?

Extinction
Explanation

Withholding reinforcement

#3

In behavior analysis, what is the term for a stimulus that naturally elicits a response without prior learning?

Unconditioned stimulus
Explanation

Innate response trigger

#4

What is the primary goal of discrimination training in behavior analysis?

To teach the individual to respond differently to different stimuli
Explanation

Learning differential responses

#5

In discrimination learning, what is the term for responding to a stimulus that is similar but not identical to the training stimulus?

Generalization
Explanation

Responding to similar stimuli

#6

In discrimination learning, what is the term for the occurrence of the desired behavior only in the presence of a specific discriminative stimulus?

Discrimination
Explanation

Specific stimulus response

#7

Which type of reinforcement involves the removal or avoidance of an aversive stimulus to increase the likelihood of a behavior?

Negative reinforcement
Explanation

Aversive stimulus avoidance

#8

In discrimination learning, what is the term for the phenomenon where responding to a stimulus increases when it is followed by a reinforcer?

Reinforcement
Explanation

Behavior strengthening

#9

What is the term for the process of gradually reducing the intensity of a stimulus during discrimination training?

Stimulus fading
Explanation

Gradual stimulus reduction

#10

Which principle of discrimination learning involves reinforcing responses in the presence of one stimulus and not reinforcing them in the presence of another?

Differential reinforcement
Explanation

Selective reinforcement

#11

What is the term for the process in discrimination learning where the individual learns to respond to a specific stimulus and not to others?

Stimulus control
Explanation

Specific stimulus response

#12

What is the term for the phenomenon in discrimination learning where the individual fails to discriminate between stimuli and responds similarly to all stimuli?

Stimulus generalization
Explanation

Indiscriminate response

#13

Which type of discrimination training involves reinforcing responses in the presence of one stimulus and not reinforcing them in the presence of another, similar stimulus?

Negative discrimination
Explanation

Opposing stimulus response

#14

What is the term for the procedure in discrimination training where the reinforcement is provided only when a specific response occurs in the presence of a particular stimulus?

Differential reinforcement
Explanation

Selective reinforcement

#15

In discrimination learning, what is the term for the gradual reduction of responding to a stimulus that is similar but not identical to the training stimulus?

Stimulus fading
Explanation

Reducing similar stimulus response

#16

Which type of discrimination training involves reinforcing responses to one stimulus and not to another?

Differential reinforcement
Explanation

Selective reinforcement

#17

What is the term for the process of gradually making a stimulus more similar to the target stimulus during discrimination training?

Stimulus shaping
Explanation

Molding stimulus perception

#18

What is the term for a decrease in the frequency or strength of a behavior when it is no longer followed by reinforcement?

Extinction
Explanation

Behavior reduction

#19

Which type of discrimination training involves reinforcing responses in the presence of one stimulus and extinguishing responses in the presence of another stimulus?

Negative discrimination
Explanation

Opposing stimulus response

#20

In discrimination learning, what does the term 'response generalization' refer to?

Responding to stimuli similar to the training stimulus
Explanation

Generalizing responses

#21

In discrimination learning, what does the term 'S-delta' represent?

The stimulus signaling punishment
Explanation

Punishment signal

#22

Which type of discrimination training involves reinforcing responses to multiple stimuli while withholding reinforcement for responses to a specific stimulus?

Multiple discrimination
Explanation

Complex stimulus response

#23

In discrimination learning, what is the term for the process of reinforcing responses to one stimulus and not reinforcing them to another stimulus?

Differential reinforcement
Explanation

Selective reinforcement

#24

Which type of discrimination training involves reinforcing responses to a specific stimulus and extinguishing responses to stimuli that are similar but not identical?

Negative discrimination
Explanation

Opposing stimulus response

#25

In discrimination learning, what is the term for the phenomenon where the individual fails to respond to a stimulus even though it has been reinforced in the past?

Stimulus discrimination
Explanation

Selective stimulus response
