Time spent on each alternative
Behavioral economics involves the use of __________.
Economic principles to describe and analyze behavioral choice
From a behavior analysis standpoint, drug addiction is the product of __________.
operant choice
To investigate choice and preference, it is important that the organism be presented with __________ schedules of reinforcement.
concurrent
As relative rate of reinforcement __________, the relative rate of response __________.
Increases; increases
Delay discounting involves decisions between __________ and __________ rewards.
Small, immediate; large, delayed
A rat placed in a chamber with two response levers, each operating on a variable-interval schedule and with one that pays off approximately 5 reinforcers per minute and a second that pays off approximately 10 reinforcers per minute, will most likely distribute its behavior as:
67% of responses to the lever that gives 10 reinforcers per minute
Using the matching relation, predict the distribution of responses between a key with a fixed-ratio 40 requirement and one with a fixed-ratio 60:
100% of responses to the fixed-ratio 40 schedule
Backward chaining involves:
Teaching the final component or link first
On a chain schedule of reinforcement, the longer the delay between the SDand the unconditioned reinforcement:
The less effective the SD as a conditioned reinforcer
According to Skinner (1953), a generalized conditioned reinforcer:
Is produced by pairing a conditioned reinforcer with more than one unconditioned reinforcer
If you train a rat to receive a food pellet every time you play a particular song, the foo pellet is __________ and the tune is __________.
An unconditioned reinforcer; a conditioned reinforcer
Which of the following would reduce the effectiveness of a conditioned reinforcer?
Increase the delay between the presentation of the conditioned and the unconditioned reinforcer
Token economies are most effective at maintaining behavior after the treatment program ends when they:
Are slowly and systematically faded
In terms of generalized imitation, which of the following are true?
Generalized imitation provides an account of imitation after a delay
Rule-following is __________ regulated by __________ of reinforcement.
Behavior; contingencies
A child attempting to repeat sounds their parents make can be explained by:
Social conditioning that involves reinforcement from the parents
In regards to imitation:
It is possible to train imitation through reinforcement
Behaviorally, we could define lying as lack of correspondence between:
Doing and saying
For Skinner (1969), rules are:
Verbal descriptions of the operating contingencies
Du and Greer (2014) found that 2- to 4-year old children with autism who failed to learn generalized imitation in face-to-face interactions were successful in establishing generalized imitation when:
A mirror was used to display the modeled action
__________ introduced the term verbal behavior to deal with the __________ of the speaker.
skinner; performance
When a verbal response depends on a verbal discriminative stimulus, the verbal relations are __________.
intraverbal
If the picture of a dog, the spoken word of "dog," and the written word dogall regulate the same behavior, we say that the stimulus classes are
equivalent
Verbal behavior refers to:
Gestures, vocal, written, and signed behavior
In the realm of communication, Skinner:
Referred to behavior of the listener as rule-governed behavior and verbal behavior as the performance of the speaker
Saying "This is a fat cat" to the spoken stimulus "This is a fat cat" is an example of a(n):
