Questions and Answers

What is the main difference between escape and avoidance?

  • Escape involves doing it to remove yourself from the undesirable situation, while avoidance is done to prevent the undesirable situation. (correct)
  • Escape involves reacting after the undesirable situation, while avoidance involves acting before the undesirable situation.
  • Escape involves taking preventive actions, while avoidance involves reactive actions.
  • Escape involves doing it to prevent the undesirable situation, while avoidance is done to remove yourself from the undesirable situation.

What is Discriminated Avoidance Conditioning?

  • Involves learning to enjoy aversive stimuli.
  • Involves learning to tolerate aversive stimuli without reacting.
  • Involves learning to predict and avoid an aversive stimulus before it arrives. (correct)
  • Involves learning to react after an aversive stimulus has been encountered.

What type of behavior is contingency-shaped behavior?
