Answer to Question 1

The primary difference between an escape contingency and an avoidance contingency is the presence and absence of the aversive stimulus prior to the occurrence of the response. In an escape contingency, the aversive stimulus is present prior to the response, which terminates the aversive stimulus (thus allowing the person to escape that stimulus). In an avoidance contingency, the aversive stimulus is looming but not present prior to the response. The occurrence of the response prevents the presentation of the aversive stimulus

Answer to Question 2

Answer should include: Experimental control is demonstrated when each behavior is changed when and only when the independent variable is applied to the new setting.
