Which one of the following strategies reflects the principle that some antecedent stimuli tend to elicit certain kinds of behaviors ?

Responses are learned primarily through repetition. Responses are affected by the consequences that follow them. Tammy is scolded for submitting a messy math homework paper, so she tries to do her math problems more neatly after that.

She meets individually with each student, and together she and the student agree to a plan for improving the student's behavior and a suitable reinforcement for appropriate behavior change. Ms. Frago is using: Reinforcement of an incompatible behavior A contingency contract Which one of the following is the best example of a student working for an incentive? Arnold's teacher gives him a big hug after he surprises her by bringing her a cupcake from home. Doris is studying with the hope that she'll get a high grade on her history test. Stacey dislikes physical education class because her classmates tease her about her lack of strength and coordination. One day Stacey unintentionally hits one of her classmates, and the teacher sends her to the principal's office for the remainder of the class session. Stacey becomes increasingly aggressive in class and so spends more and more time in the principal's office. From an operant conditioning perspective, we can explain this situation by saying that Stacey is: Being vicariously reinforced for her aggression Being negatively reinforced for her aggression Warren has earned himself a reputation for being the class clown. His teacher, Ms. Washington, used to laugh at Warren's funny remarks but is now trying to discourage Warren's disruptive behavior by ignoring his jokes. In spite of Ms. Washington's attempts to ignore Warren, Warren sometimes tells a joke so funny that Ms. Washington laughs in spite of herself. Rather than decreasing his joke telling, Warren begins telling even more outrageous jokes. Inadvertently, Ms. Washington is modifying Warren's joke-telling behavior through: Shaping Shaping In the middle of a difficult exam, Robert tells his teacher that his stomach hurts, and the teacher immediately sends him to the school nurse. On several later occasions when he has a difficult test or assignment, Robert again tells his teacher that he doesn't feel well. Each time he is sent to the school nurse before he has completed his work. From an operant conditioning perspective, we can say that Robert is: Being punished for complaining about his stomach Being negatively reinforced for complaining about his stomach When Mr. Thompson yells at his students, they stop being so noisy. Mr. Thompson is receiving ________ for his yelling behavior. intermittent reinforcement negative reinforcement At the beginning of the school year, Mr. Webber is concerned that Frances rarely does her independent seatwork. He begins praising Frances for each seatwork assignment she completes, and by January she is completing her assignments regularly. To make sure that the behavior continues in the years to come, what would operant conditioning theorists tell Mr. Webber to do now? Praise her more often than
before. Praise her for only some of her completed assignments. Which one of the following statements best illustrates the process of cueing acceptable behaviors? "Does anyone know why Henry isn't in school today?" "Students who are sitting quietly will be the first ones to be dismissed."

When a teacher reinforces different students for different behaviors, they begin to discover which behaviors are appropriate and which are not. An undesirable behavior will decrease when a student is reinforced for behaving in an opposite manner. Which one of the following alternatives best describes shaping? Reinforcement becomes gradually stronger over time. The particular response being reinforced changes over time so that it increasingly resembles the desired behavior. John is caught cheating on a homework assignment. He suffers no consequences for doing so, even though cheating is in clear violation of school policy.

Fighting is against school rules, and the boys know this. Even so, a teacher who sees them lets them continue to fight rather than punishing them for doing so. Judging from what psychologists say regarding what happens when expected punishments don't occur, we can predict that these boys will be: Less likely to fight in the future More likely to fight in the future Which one of the following is an example of reinforcing an incompatible behavior as a way of eliminating an undesirable behavior? Melissa is very shy and socially withdrawn. Her teacher reinforces her with a smile whenever she interacts with classmates. Melissa is very shy and socially withdrawn.

Even though Eric has been kept after school each day for the past three weeks, his swearing hasn't decreased at all-in fact, it has steadily increased. Given what we know about the effects of punishment on behavior, Ms. Smythe should probably conclude that: Her punishment is temporarily
suppressing Eric's swearing. Staying after school is reinforcing for Eric. The basic idea underlying operant conditioning is that: Responses are learned primarily through repetition. Responses are affected by the consequences that follow them.
