What is Discriminated Avoidance Conditioning?
Involves learning to predict and avoid an aversive stimulus before it arrives.
What type of behavior is contingency-shaped behavior?
Behavior learned through direct experience with the consequences of actions.
In Antecedent Control, what is contingency-shaped behavior primarily based on?
Direct experience with the consequences of actions.

Checking the weather app and putting on a coat to avoid being cold.
What is the goal of Differential Reinforcement of Zero responding (DRO)?
To reduce a desirable behavior to nothing
Which type of reinforcement involves presenting a reinforcer only if the response does not occur within a normal interval?
Differential Reinforcement of Zero responding (DRO)
What is the purpose of Differential Reinforcement of Incompatible responses (DRI)?
Reinforcing behaviors that are not compatible with the target behavior
In Differential Reinforcement of Alternate behavior (DRA), what type of behavior is reinforced?
Behaviors that are similar to the target behavior
What is involved in the Extinction technique for reducing undesirable behaviors?
Reinforcement of another dissimilar behavior
What is an example of a reprimand according to the text?
Being sent to another room as punishment
Which type of punishment involves harmful effects like aggressive behaviors and crying?
Pain-inducing punishment
What is the key difference between escape conditioning and avoidance conditioning?
Avoidance conditioning uses aversive stimuli, escape conditioning does not
What could be a potential downside of continued use of punishment according to the text?
Development of aggressive behaviors and negative emotional effects
Which of the following is true about response cost as a form of punishment?

Modeling
Which category of situational inducement involves changing the time of activity to influence behavior?
Changing the time of activity
What is Limited Hold in the context of reinforcement schedules?
The finite time period during which a reinforcer is available after a response.
How are Short Limited Holds different from Variable Ratio schedules?
Short Limited Holds result in behaviors similar to Fixed Ratio schedules.
What is the purpose of using VI with Limited Hold in reinforcement scheduling?
To achieve ratio-like behavior without counting each instance of behavior.
In the context of reinforcement, what does Stimulus Control refer to?
The degree of correlation between stimulus and subsequent response.
What is Antecedent in the context of behavior?
Events or interactions that happen before the behavior occurs.
How does Discrimination differ from Generalization in behavior settings?
