2 In terms of dropping out, Sidman (2001) indicates that one basic element is:

3. Consider the following example: "Paige got a ticket for littering. As a result, she has to pick up trash along the highway for at least 20 hours." This is an example of     .

6. Considering evidence gained by experimental behavior analysis, introducing spanking at a low intensity and gradually increasing intensity:

7. Punishers that have to be used repeatedly indicate:

8. Azrin, Holz, and Hake's (1963) study on punishment and food deprivation in pigeons demonstrated that:

9. Giving an organism another way to obtain reinforcement will:

10. If an organism emits an alternate behavior, that behavior can be seen as a(n)

                                if it occurs during punishment, and a(n)                                                      if it prevents punishment.

11. Which of the following environmental changes most influences responding during a timeout from avoidance procedure?

12. When an aversive consequence is delivered to an individual, one possible side effect is that they retaliate in an aggressive manner toward the individual. This type of retaliatory behavior is known as:

13. Contingencies of punishment:

14. As you are walking to class, you hear a classmate yell, "Give me my water, you stupid vending machine!" This is most likely:

15. Which of the following outcomes suggests that social exclusion itself is found to trigger aggressive behavior?

16. Francine is disruptive to the class by talking to the students around her. The classroom teacher asks Francine to move to the far corner of the classroom, away from other students. This is an example of:

17. An S^Δ sets the occasion upon which a response is                                                          reinforced.

18. In operant conditioning, the antecedent stimulus paired with reinforcement is called a/an          .

19. A shaping procedure whereby control gradually changes from one element to another is called                .

20. When an                                      is presented, the probability of a response increases. When an        is presented, the probability of response decreases.

21. From a behavior analysis standpoint, a failure to learn is most likely caused by:

22. When organisms respond in one setting and not another they are
