1)What type of reinforcer is being encountered when students enjoy taking a field trip (which is the reward itself)?

2. Which of the following terms is defined as follows: applying unpleasant stimuli to decrease a target behavior?

3. Which phase of observational learning best represents the modeling of desired behavior based on the teacher's likes and dislikes?

4. Which of the following illustrates Bandura's concept of self-regulation?

5. The three basic categories of secondary reinforcers are:

6. At his locker, Rick is describing his exciting weekend to Tony, using very colorful and inappropriate language. Tony gestures down the hall to let Rick know that Sherri is approaching. Rick continues his story but instantly cleans up his language, sounding like a completely different person while Sherri walks by. Rick's adjustment of his behavior is based on

7. Which schedule allows for a constant number of behaviors required for reinforcement?

8. The first phase in observational learning defined as paying attention to a model is

9. Which of the following forms of assessment is the best example of a fixed- interval schedule?

10. A student learns to add blocks and later transfers this skill to adding sticks, and checkers. Educational psychologists would say that the student is demonstrating

11. A secondary reinforcer takes on value
12. A reinforcer that allows a student to escape from an unpleasant situation is called a(n):

13. Which of the following reinforcement procedures would be most appropriate for the classroom?

14. In Bandura's classic study on modeling, children who observed a film of an aggressive adult being punished

15. In Pavlov's experiments with dogs, which of the following best characterizes the role of the bell (or tone), prior to conditioning?

16. A student is used to getting the attention of the teacher by making annoying sounds. One day the teacher decides to ignore the sounds by showing no reaction. Based on behavioral theory, what would be the expected outcome, assuming the teacher's attention was the reinforcer?

17. Which of the following examples best illustrates removal punishment? (assume that the undesirable behavior decreases after the consequence occurs).

18. Which of the following is a secondary reinforcer?

19. Students receive a reward every third time they score 90 percent or higher on a test. What schedule is being used to reinforce the students?

20. The Premack Principle links less-desired activities to:

21. In classical conditioning, the object or event that automatically elicits a behavior before the conditioning takes place is referred to as the:

22. Which of the following is the correct sequence of phases for understanding observational learning?

1. 1. teacher reinforces a child first for recognizing two letters of the alphabet, then for recognizing four, then six, and so on. The teacher is using a technique called:

24. Students do not know when a reinforcer is coming, but know that if they continue to do their work, it will eventually appear. The students are being reinforced on what type of schedule?

25. Which of the following would be the most effective to help children engage in self-regulated learning when completing long or complex tasks?

26. Which of the following statements best fits a behaviorist's conception of learning?

27. What is the focus of operant conditioning?

28. A teacher spot-checks how students are doing by walking around the room, selecting students to observe at random and then reinforcing those who are working well. What type of schedule is being used?
