Describe a training procedure that could promote generalized imitation in a toddler.

Give an example of how automatic reinforcement might maintain adherence to a personal fitness routine.

Scenario: A high school implements a token economy to improve homework completion rates. Students earn “achievement points” for submitting homework on time. These points can be exchanged weekly for privileges such as choosing their seat, extra recess time, or homework passes.  After several months, some students seem less motivated, and the school notices that achievement points were not consistently backed up with rewarding privileges as initially planned.  Question: Using your knowledge of generalized conditioned reinforcers and extinction, explain why the students’ motivation decreased and how the school might repair the token economy.

Setting an alarm to wake up early is an example of:

A parent brings in their 16 year old child. The mother states, “he sleeps all day and won’t come out of his room.” This is most likely…

When the delay between a conditioned stimulus and reinforcement is too long, the stimulus becomes a [answer] conditioned reinforcer.

Match the concepts:

As the delay to unconditioned reinforcement increases, the effectiveness of the conditioned reinforcer:

Explain why proprioceptive feedback is essential for infants’ imitation of unseen body parts (like the tongue).

Match the manipulation with its impact on MNS:
