Question 1 0.86 / 0.86 pts Jamal hates his new alarm clock. This morning, the annoying buzzer sounded at 6:00 a.m. Jamal hit the snooze button to catch a few more minutes of sleep. The snooze button allows for 15 minutes to pass before the alarm sounds again. Jamal opened his eyes and saw that the clock read 6:14, knowing the buzzer would sound again at 6:15. Because he hates the sound of the alarm, he reached over, shut off the alarm before it could sound, and got out of bed. Turning off the alarm before it can sound is an example of: Discriminated avoidance. Free-operant avoidance. Correct. An escape contingency. An aversive stimulus. Question 2 0.87 / 0.87 pts A principle of behavior describes a(n) _______________ _____________ between behavior and one or more of its controlling variables. Extinction curve. Response reinforcer. Functional relation. Correct. Stimulus relation. Question 3 0.87 / 0.87 pts A science of behavior contributes to a useful technology of behavior change, to the extent that it discovers functional relations with ______ across individuals. Discrimination. Reflexivity. Transitivity.
Generality. Correct. Question 4 0.87 / 0.87 pts Stimulus generalization has occurred when: A response occurs more frequently in the presence of a specific stimulus, but rarely occurs in the absence of the stimulus. The same response occurs in the presence of two different, but similar, stimuli. Correct. One response occurs in the presence of a specific stimulus, and a different response occurs in the presence of a different stimulus. One stimulus evokes a number of different, but similar, responses. Question 5 0.87 / 0.87 pts If the effects of reinforcement, extinction, and punishment occur in some situations but not in others, the effects are said to be: Generalized. Situation-specific. Correct. Isolated. Intermittent. Question 6 0.87 / 0.87 pts Which of the following is developed through discrimination training? Reading. Spelling. Obeying traffic signals.
All of these. Correct. Question 7 0.87 / 0.87 pts When Malik swears around his friends they laugh, but when he swears around his parents they ground him. As a result, Malik is less likely to swear when his parents are around. Malik's behavior of not swearing around his parents is a result of: Discrimination training. Correct. Generalization. Reinforcement. Both A and C. Question 8 0.87 / 0.87 pts In behavior analysis, a three-term contingency involves: An antecedent-behavior-consequence. Correct. All behavioral consequences. Antecedent-behavior-contingency. all of these. Question 9 0.87 / 0.87 pts Which of the following shows the correct sequence in a three-term contingency? Discriminative stimulus, response, consequence. Correct. Consequence, response, discriminative stimulus.

Response, consequence, discriminative stimulus. Discriminative stimulus, consequence, response. Question 10 0.87 / 0.87 pts In behavior analysis, when a certain behavior occurs in the presence of stimuli that are similar to the discriminative stimulus during stimulus discrimination training, ____________ has occurred. Expansion. Refinement. Discrimination. Generalization. Correct. Question 11 0.87 / 0.87 pts A behavior is more likely to occur in the presence of stimuli that are more similar to the discriminative stimulus than in the presence of stimuli that are less similar to the discriminative stimulus. This is called a: Stimulus class. Generalization gradient. Correct. Cause-effect relationship. Discrimination gradient. Question 12 0.87 / 0.87 pts When you tell jokes and your friends laugh, you are more likely to tell jokes to your friends. Your friends are _______ for telling jokes. Discriminative stimuli. Correct.
S-deltas. Punishers. Conditioned stimuli. Question 13 0.87 / 0.87 pts This is the extent to which a learner emits untrained responses that are functionally equivalent to the trained target behavior. Setting/situation maintenance. Response generalization. Correct. Setting/situation generalization. Response maintenance. Question 14 0.87 / 0.87 pts When a target behavior comes under the restricted control of an irrelevant antecedent stimulus, it is an example of: Overgeneralization. Faulty stimulus control. Correct. Undesirable outcome of setting/situation generalization. Undesirable outcome of response generalization. Question 15 0.87 / 0.87 pts Maria, a typically developing two-year-old girl, has a father who is in the U.S. Marines. The last time her father was home, he was in uniform. Now, every time she sees a man in uniform, she says, "Daddy!" This is an example of: Stimulus control.
Stimulus equivalence. A response class. Stimulus generalization. Correct. Question 16 0.87 / 0.87 pts Stimulus generalization is more likely to occur: When stimuli share more similar properties than when stimuli are very different from one another. Correct. When the practitioner tightly controls the training procedures and stimuli used during training (that is, using few different stimuli during training). If time delay is used as part of the training procedure. If reflexivity is observed. Question 17 0.87 / 0.87 pts All of the following are measurable dimensional qualities except: Repeatability. Temporal extent. Temporal locus. Topography. Correct. Question 18 0.87 / 0.87 pts A good behavior definition should be _____________, __________, and ____________. Objective, clear, complete. Correct.

Concise, specific, limited. Functional, clear, socially valid. Measurable, mentalistic, meaningful. Question 19 0.87 / 0.87 pts A(n) ________ definition designates responses in terms of their effect on the environment. Observable. Function-based. Correct. Topography-based. Ecological. Question 20 0.87 / 0.87 pts _________ is the interaction between an organism and its environment. Measurement. Independent variable. Behavior. Correct. Science. Question 21 0.87 / 0.87 pts Each of the following is an example of an operant behavior except: Mowing the lawn. Brushing one's teeth. Blinking one's eye. Correct.
Writing your name. Question 22 0.87 / 0.87 pts A learner's untrained but functionally equivalent responses result in poor performance. This would be an example of: Faulty stimulus control. Overgeneralization. Undesirable outcome of setting or situation generalization. Undesirable outcome of response generalization. Correct. Question 23 0.87 / 0.87 pts A guiding principle for promoting generalized behavior change includes: Involving significant others whenever possible. Promoting generalization with the least intrusive, least costly tactics possible. Contriving intervention tactics as needed to achieve important generalized outcomes. All of these. Correct.
