A sequence of SDs and Rs in which each R produces the SD for the next R with the entire sequence followed by a reinforcer is referred to as:
A)a behavioral chain
B)shaping
C)fading
D)stimulus discrimination training

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This sequence describes a behavioral chain, where each response (R) produces the discriminative stimulus (SD) for the next response, leading to the final reinforcer. Shaping involves reinforcing successive approximations towards a desired behavior, fading involves gradually removing prompts or cues to elicit a behavior, and stimulus discrimination training involves teaching an individual to respond differently to different stimuli. None of these describe the given sequence.
