What are the two exceptions to components in a behavior chain serving a dual function?The first response only functions as a discriminative stimulus The last response only functions as a conditioned reinforcer Give an example of a behavior chain putting on a coat, making a sandwich, setting the table, wrapping a gift Task Analysis involve breaking a complex skill into smaller, teachable units, the product of which is a series of sequentially ordered steps or behaviors True Kara has been learning to board a public bus, put money in the slot, and sit in her seat, waiting for her stop. Then, she pushes the button to indicate when she wants to get off. She has practiced this skill in her small hometown, where there are rarely more than 5 people on the bus. She traveled to Chicago with her parents to visit her aunt. She rode the bus with her parents in Chicago and was unable to do many steps in the chain. For example, she wasn't able to put her money in the slot, and she had difficulty choosing a seat. Her parents noticed that she was very distracted by all the people on the bus, as compared to the few people who are on the bus at home. Which of the following is the most likely reason that Kara wasn't able to perform steps in the chain she had learned so well at home?There are novel stimuli present in Chicago that weren't present at home and that interfered with Kara's Chain.How should a task analysis be individualized? 1 / 4

pg. 2 According to age, skill level, experience of the person in question Chaining can be used to add behaviors to an existing behavioral repertoire True A behavior chain with a limited hold means The entire chain or steps within the chain must be completed in a given period of time.What is a risk of choosing the single opportunity method of assessment for assessing mastery of a task analysis?You may underestimate the learner's abilities Peer models have been used to teach children with disabilities to perform complex tasks using which form of chaining?Total task chaining Behavior chains and chaining procedures are important because All of these

• multiple choice options

How are forward and backward chaining different?Forward chaining means the learner learns the first step first in the sequence and backward chaining means the learner learns the last behavior in the sequence first (but the steps are still learned in the correct sequence).

The two key procedural components of shaping are:

differential reinforcement and successive approximations What behavior dimensions can you change with differential reinforcement?Frequency, duration, latency, magnitude

Potential learners cannot imitate if they do not have this prerequisite skill:

attending to the model Ms. Anita Response wants to increase the number of words Sophie writes in her stories during creative writing time. She uses shaping to do so. What dimension of behavior is she shaping? 2 / 4

pg. 3 Frequency Which of the following is an example of shaping an individual to swing a golf club correctly (i.e., take the appropriate backswing, swing the club down to the ball, and follow through with the swing?Provide positive reinforcement for any swing that resembles a golf swing. Then provide reinforcement for closer and closer approximations of a correct golf swing and withhold reinforcement for poorer approximations of a correct golf swing Shaping involves All of these What is the purpose of validating a task analysis?determining the sequence of behaviors that are necessary and sufficient to complete a given task efficiently List one of 3 methods to validate a task analysis.observe competent individuals complete the desired sequence of behaviors, consult with experts, perform the behaviors yourself

DRO interventions:

Provide reinforcement for not responding A limitation of DRO is Other inappropriate behaviors may be reinforced accidentally.

In DRA, a practitioner:

all of these are correct

• multiple choice options

The behavior selected as an alternative behavior in a DRA:

should already be in the learner's repertoire A DRL intervention is useful when the practitioner wants to decrease the overall rate of a problem behavior but not get rid of it all together 3 / 4

pg. 4 If the mean interresponse time (IRT) of a target problem behavior is 12 responses per hour, and you are implementing a DRL procedure, what should the initial DRL criterion be?no more than 11 responses per hour One of the guidelines for effective shaping is to carefully define the terminal behavior and the criteria for successfully engaging in the terminal behavior.

Effective ways for deciding what the criteria for success are:

both of these are ways to determine the criteria for success

• multiple choice options

The functional variation of extinction is withholding maintaining reinforcers True

• multiple choice option

What is the other variation of extinction?procedural - ignoring A procedure in which reinforcement of a previously reinforced behavior is discontinued and as a result, occurrences of that behavior decrease in the future is?extinction The verbal behavior approach is not useful for people who have lost their verbal behavior through disease or injury False

• multiple choice option

The tact repertoire is extensive and often the primary focus of many language programs.True

• multiple choice option

When is it not appropriate to utilize an extinction procedure?Both of these
