Which principle states that behavior followed by desirable consequences tends to be repeated?

Positive reinforcement

Explanation

Repeating behaviors due to favorable outcomes.

What does the acronym ABC stand for in behavioral analysis?

Antecedent, Behavior, Consequence

Explanation

Key components in the analysis of behavior.

Which theorist is associated with the concept of observational learning?

Albert Bandura

Explanation

Learning by observing others.

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

Food

Explanation

Innately reinforcing stimulus.

What term is used to describe the process of reinforcing behaviors that are increasingly similar to the desired behavior?

Shaping

Explanation

Reinforcing behavior approximations toward a goal.

What is the term used to describe the process of modifying behavior by presenting or removing stimuli immediately following a behavior?

Conditioning

Explanation

Behavioral modification through immediate stimuli presentation/removal.

In behavioral analysis, what does the term 'shaping' refer to?

The process of reinforcing behaviors that are increasingly similar to the desired behavior

Explanation

Reinforcing gradual steps toward the target behavior.

What is the primary difference between classical and operant conditioning?

Classical conditioning involves involuntary responses, while operant conditioning involves voluntary behaviors.

Explanation

Involuntary vs. voluntary learning associations.

What is the term used to describe the weakening and eventual disappearance of a conditioned response when the unconditioned stimulus is no longer presented?

Extinction

Explanation

Fading of learned responses without reinforcement.

#10

In the context of behavior analysis, what does the term 'chaining' refer to?

Breaking down a complex task into smaller, manageable steps and teaching each step individually

Explanation

Teaching complex tasks through step-by-step reinforcement.

#11

What is the term used to describe a decrease in the frequency of a behavior when it is followed by the removal of an aversive stimulus?

Escape conditioning

Explanation

Reduced behavior due to aversive stimulus removal.

#12

Which of the following is NOT a component of the triadic reciprocal causation model proposed by Albert Bandura?

Motivation

Explanation

Excluded element in Bandura's model of behavior.

#13

Which schedule of reinforcement involves providing reinforcement after a varying number of responses?

Variable Ratio

Explanation

Reinforcement after unpredictable responses.
