Principles and Applications of Behavior Analysis Quiz

Behavior analysis focuses on systematic examination of behavior.

Reinforcement in behavior analysis refers to encouraging desired behavior.

Operant conditioning is a fundamental principle in behavior analysis.

Successive approximation is the gradual shaping of behavior toward a goal.

Extinction in behavior analysis refers to gradually reducing reinforcement for a behavior until it ceases.

A chained behavior in behavior analysis consists of smaller behaviors linked together.

Behavioral shaping involves breaking down behavior into manageable steps for teaching.

Negative reinforcement involves increasing behavior by removing an aversive stimulus after the behavior.

Generalization is not a primary behavior change strategy in behavior analysis.

The 'ABC' model in behavior analysis refers to Antecedent, Behavior, and Consequence.

Behavior modification involves applying behavior analysis principles to improve socially significant behavior.

A functional assessment in behavior analysis examines environmental variables influencing behavior.

Schedules of reinforcement in behavior analysis refer to the timing of reinforcement relative to behavior.

Stimulus fading involves gradually changing stimulus conditions under which a behavior occurs.

Shaping involves reinforcing successive approximations of a behavior until the desired behavior is achieved.

Punishment may temporarily suppress behavior without teaching new skills, making it a limitation.
