Classical conditioning involves pairing a neutral stimulus

Classical conditioning involves pairing a neutral stimulus with an unconditioned stimulus to elicit a conditioned response.

The classical conditioning theory suggests that a neutral stimulus can be paired with an unconditioned stimulus repeatedly to form associative learning. The previously neutral stimulus then becomes a conditioned stimulus (CS) that can trigger the same response as the unconditioned stimulus.

What does classical conditioning process involves pairing a previously neutral stimulus with?

The classical conditioning process involves pairing a previously neutral stimulus (such as the sound of a bell) with an unconditioned stimulus (the taste of food). This unconditioned stimulus naturally and automatically triggers salivating as a response to the food, which is known as the unconditioned response.

Negative reinforcement involves removing a negative consequence to increase the likelihood of a behavior occurring again.

Which of the following is an example of a prompt antecedent…

Extinction is the gradual disappearance of a behavior when reinforcement is no longer given.

Discriminative stimuli signal when a behavior will be reinforced or punished.

A behavior must be observable and measurable to be defined and assessed.

Negative punishment involves removing a positive consequence to decrease the likelihood of a behavior occurring again.

Objectivity refers to the observable characteristics of the behavior.

Continuous schedules of reinforcement produce a high rate of responding that is resistant to extinction.

Clarity refers to the degree to which an operational definition is precise, specific, and unambiguous.

Shaping involves reinforcing only the final desired behavior.

Functional assessment involves identifying the antecedents, consequences, and maintaining conditions of a behavior.

An antecedent is a consequence that occurs after a behavior.

A reinforcer is something that decreases the likelihood of a behavior.

Negative reinforcement is not as effective as positive reinforcement in behavior modification.

Systematic desensitization is a technique used to reduce anxiety in response to a particular stimulus.

A stimulus can be either positive or negative.

Stimulus control refers to the extent to which a behavior is influenced by the presence or absence of a stimulus.

Generalization is the tendency for a behavior to occur in different situations.

Backward chaining is a technique used to teach complex behaviors by starting with the final step and working backwards.

Group of answer choices

A behavior plan should include a clear definition of the target behavior, the antecedents, and the consequences.
