RGB and Derived responding

A verbal stimulus that specifies a contingency is

• A relational frame

• An equivalence class

• A rule

• Rule-governed behavior

Rule-governed behavior differs from contingency shaped behavior in that RGB is not learned

• True

• False

Reasons for rule following are:

• Avoiding punishment from authority

• Obtaining social reinforcement

• Obtaining the outcome specified in the rule

• All of these

Reasons for not to follow rules are:

• Outcomes are improbable or delayed

• The person has learned that the rule is inaccurate

• The contingencies contacted contradict the rule

• All of these

According to Sidman, the meaning of words can be acquired through

• Rule governed behavior

• Symmetry

• Transitivity

• Equivalence relations

According to Sidman, words are equivalent to

• Functions

• Their referents

• Inferences

• Rules

Burning a flag should not be offensive because a flag is just an object. It is offensive because (choose two):

• Verbal behavior alters the meaning of stimuli

• The flag has acquired properties of things that are valued

• In the past, people have been punished for burning flags

• There is a rule stating that burning flags is offensive

Responding to one stimulus in terms of another describes

• S-S learning

• Frames of coordination

• Stimulus equivalence

• All of these

Arbitrary symbols can become verbal when they become equivalent to things. This is due to

• A deictic relation

• Rule-governed behavior

• Equivalence relations

• Derived responding

Through equivalence relations we can create things/worlds that don't exist

• True

• False
