Self-Monitoring Question 2: Clues within the text that assist the reader; e.g. boldfaced words, headings for sections, etc

Answer:

Textual Cues Question 3: Identification of the discrimininative stimulus and response for each component of a behavior chain.

Answer:

Task Analysis Question 4: Procedures used to teach a person to engage in a chain of behaviors. Includes backwards chaining, forward chaining, total task presentation, written task analysis, picture prompts, and self-instructions.

Answer:

Chaining Procedures

Question 5: Showing the desired response for the student. This type of prompt is best suited for individuals who learn through imitation.

Answer:

Modeling Question 6: The coefficient of agreement between 2 or more independent observers; usually calculated as a % by dividing the # of agreements by the total number of agreements plus disagreements then multiply by 100; 80% minimum accepted

Answer:

Interobserver agreement Question 7: Any variable that is different from the dependent variable in that it can change independently of it. This is your intervention/treatment.

Answer:

Independent Variable Question 8: A "toll" or "fine" imposed in response to the student's display of undesirable behavior

Answer:

Response Cost

Question 9: A symbol, usually a letter that represents an unknown quantity.

Answer:

Variable

Question 10: Counting of behavior

Answer:

Frequency Question 11: These are the activities we do using our larger muscle groups; like sitting, walking & jumping.

Answer:

Gross Motor

Question 12: The physical force involved in the behavior (ex-Garth bench pressed 220 pounds)

Answer:

Intensity Question 13: A prompting strategy used with total task presentation in which you provide full hand-over-hand assistance as a prompt for the learner to complete a behavior. Once the learner starts to engage independently, you gradually fade your assistance.

Answer:

Graduated Guidance Question 14: This is a Verbal Behavior term. A mand is basically a "demand". This is being able to request something that one wants or needs.

Answer:

Partial Interval Recording Question 17: Most commonly used method of transferring stimulus control. A response prompt is removed gradually across learning trials until the prompt is no longer provided.

Answer:

Prompt Fading Question 18: Elimination of the prompt to get the behavior under stimulus control of the relevant Sd. Involves fading and prompt delay.

Answer:

Transfer of Stimulus Control
