Correc t.

 Question 8 5 out of 5 points

Which of the following statements is not associated with the term spontaneous recovery?

Selected Answer:

d. All of these are associated with spontaneous recovery.

Answers:

a. Behavior that diminished during the extinction process recurs, even though behavior does not produce reinforcement. b.

It is short-lived if the extinction procedure remains in effect. c. Reappearance of the behavior after it has diminished to its pre-reinforcement level or stopped entirely. d. All of these are associated with spontaneous recovery. Answer Feedback:

Correct.

 Question 9 5 out of 5 points

Which statement is false?

Selected Answer:

a. An extinction burst is the complete cessation of the target behavior after the extinction procedure has started.

Answers:

a. An extinction burst is the complete cessation of the target behavior after the extinction procedure has started. b. Extinction procedures should not be used with behaviors that cause serious injury to the subject.

c. If the behavior analyst does not have the ability to control the subject's access to reinforcement, an extinction procedure should not be implemented. d. Spontaneous recovery of the target behavior will be short-lived as long as the extinction procedure remains in effect. Answer Feedback:

Correct.

 Question 10 5 out of 5 points

Sensory extinction is the process by which behaviors maintained by ______ reinforcement are placed on extinction by masking or removing the sensory consequence.

Selected Answer:

d. Automatic.

Answers:

a. Noncontinge nt. b. Continuous. c. Intermittent.

d. Automatic. Answer Feedback:

Correct.

 Question 11 5 out of 5 points

Which is a key effect of extinction?

Selected Answer:

d. All of the other answers are correct.

Answers:

a. There is a gradual decrease in the frequency or amplitude of the target behavior. The decrease is typically not immediate. b. An extinction burst may occur, which is an initial increase in the frequency of the response. In addition, there can be an initial increase in the amplitude of the response, meaning that the intensity of the behavior may increase before it decreases. c. Spontaneous recovery may occur, meaning that the target behavior reemerges after it has diminished. This is typically short-lived, if the extinction procedure remains in place.

d. All of the other answers are correct. Answer Feedback :

Correct.

Answer Feedback:

Correct.

Selected Answer:

b. Reinforcement and extinction.

Answers:

a. Prompts and extinction. b. Reinforcement and extinction. c. Form and function of behavior. d. Concepts and stimulus equivalence.

Answer Feedback:

Correct.
