Consider the following contingency: MO(Food Deprivation) -> SD(Green Light On) –> Response(Lever Press)–>Conditioned SR+ (Sound of Dispenser) –> Unconditioned SR+ (Food Onset) According to the CHH chapter, the MO has direct effects on other parts of the contingency, and indirect effects on other parts of the contingency. (Type a numeral.)

This test consists of multiple types of questions. The first set of questions are multiple choice, matching, multiple answer, and/or fill-in-the-blank. The second set of questions are short answer essay style. There are more multiple choice questions than essay questions, but essay questions are worth more points towards the exam score. Please be mindful of the timer and budget your time accordingly.

This question has multiple parts. For full credit, both questions must be answered accurately. First, briefly describe the Desk Calendar Procedure (1.5 pts). Second, identify which of the 4 basic schedules the procedure produces (.5 pt). Third, give a novel example of when a BCBA might use such a procedure with a client (1pt).

What is the name for the idea that changes in environment-behavior relations are caused by internal factors alone?

According to Skinner, what idea is not compatible with the principles of operant reinforcement?

What kind of schedule is typically used in a standard Iwata-style functional analysis?

An undergraduate student is coerced into participating in a memory study for extra credit. First, the student is taught to say “waffle” when presented with the nonsense word QEL. After the student demonstrates fluency, the experimenter teaches them to say “treetop” when presented with the nonsense word QEL. Finally, the experimenter says, “Yes, treetop goes with QEL. What else goes with QEL?” The student, despite previously being taught to say “waffle” to fluency, does not provide the correct answer. What is the name for this phenomenon?

True, or false: In general, humans remember what they have ‘generated’ (i.e., said, written, paraphrased, etc.) better than what they have simply read.

State the Law of Demand according to Reed et al. (2013).

A study was designed to investigate the effects of two variables — (1) a student’s level of mathematical anxiety and (2) teaching method — on a student’s achievement in a mathematics course. Students who had a low level of mathematical anxiety were taught using the traditional expository method. These students obtained a mean score of 310 with a standard deviation of 40 on a standardized test. Assuming a mound-shaped and symmetric distribution, in what range would approximately 68% of the students score?
