Question

Cooper et al. Chp 12)The key difference between an escape contingency and an avoidance contingency is:

When presented with an escape contingency, the future probability of the target behavior increases, while the future probability of the target behavior decreases with an avoidance contingency

When presented the EO is not present prior to the occurrence of the target behavior ,  while in an avoidance contingency, the EO is present prior to the occurrence of a target behavior.  

When presented with the EO is present prior to the occurrence of the target behavior , while in an avoidance contingency, the EO is not present prior to the occurrence of a target behavior.

In an escape contingency, there is a warning stimulus that signals an aversive stimulus is imminent, while in an avoidance contingency there is no such warning stimulus.

When presented with an escape contingency, the future probability of the target behavior increases, while the future probability of the target behavior decreases with an avoidance contingency

Is one that began as a neutral stimulus

Acquired its aversive properties by being paried with another aversive stimulus

Is one that strengthens behavior in the absence of prior learning

Can be thought of as an inherited negative reinforcer

Explanation / Answer

Ans 1 : When presented with escape contingency , the EO is present prior to the occurence of the target behavior , while in the avoidance contingency the EO is not present prior to the occurence of the target behavior.

In the escape contingency the respose id terminated or escaped but in the avoidance contingency the reponse prevents the stimulus.
