Front 3

Escape conditioning

Back 3

is a type of negative reinforcement. person has to do something to escape the undesirable stimulus.

Front 4

In avoidance conditioning

Back 4

a cue signals that the undesirable stimulus is about to begin. the individual can avoid the stimulus completely by performing the appropriate behavior as soon as she perceives the cue

Front 5

When using covert sensitization

Back 5

the target stimulus is paired in imagination with an aversive stimulus so that the target stimulus elicits the same unpleasant response as the aversive stimulus and, as a consequence, will be avoided

Front 6

sensate focus is best described as a form of:

Back 6

counterconditioning

Front 7

The encoding specificity principle

Back 7

predicts that recall is improved when the same information is available at encoding and retrieval.

Front 8

Support for the encoding specificity principle

Back 8

is that recognition memory is better than recall memory. recognition items provide more cues than do recall items and contain more info in the memory trace

Front 9

When using a variable ratio schedule

Back 9

reinforcement is provided after a variable number of responses. This schedule produces stable rates of responding and responses that are highly resistant to extinction

Front 10

Use of a variable interval schedule involves

Back 10

providing reinforcement after random or variable time intervals. It produces stable rates of responding and low to moderate resistance to extinction.

Front 11

Use of a fixed ratio schedule entails

Back 11

consistently providing reinforcement after a fixed number of correct responses. It produces a scalloped response pattern characterized by brief pauses in responding following reinforcement and a moderately high resistance to extinction

Front 12

When using a fixed interval schedule

Back 12

reinforcement is provided after a fixed interval of time as long as the response occurred at least once during that interval. It produces a scalloped not smooth response pattern characterized by brief pauses in responding following reinforcement and low resistance to extinction.
