This Exam contains:
-Guarantee passing score -25 Questions and Answers -format set of multiple-choice -Expert-Verified Explanation Question 1: Strategies & Tactics for Promoting Generalized Beh Change: make the instructional setting similar to the generalization setting
Answer:
-program common stimuli -teach loosely
Question 2: Response Generalization
Answer:
-the extent to which a learner emits untrained responses that are functionally equivalent to the trained target behaviour
Question 3: Planning for Generalized Behaviour Change
Answer:
-planning begins w/: selecting target behs that will meet natural contingencies of R+, and specifying all desired variations target beh & settings that it should occur in after instruction has ended
Question 4: Strategies & Tactics for Promoting Generalized Beh Change
Answer:
-teach the full range of relevant stimulus conditions and response requirements -make the instructional setting similar to the generalization setting -maximize the target beh's contact with reinforcement -mediate generalization -train to generalize
Question 5: Faulty stimulus control
Answer:
Undesirable setting/situation generalization in which the behavior comes under the control of an irrelevant antecedent stimulus.Question 6: Strategies & Tactics for Promoting Generalized Beh Change: maximize the target beh's contact with reinforcement
Answer:
-teach the target beh to levels of performance required by naturally existing contingencies of R+ -program indiscriminable contingencies -set beh traps -ask people in generalization environment seeting to R+ the target beh -teach the learner to recrui
Question 7: Contrived Contingency
Answer:
-any contingency of reinforcement (or punishment) designed to achieve the acquisition, maintenance and/or generalization of a targeted behaviour change
Question 8: Setting/Situation Generalization
Answer:
-the extent to which a learner emits the target behaviour in a setting or stimulus situation that is different from the instructional setting
Question 9: Behaviour Traps
Answer:
Powerful contingencies of r+ that are "baited" w virtually irresistible r+ and effective for long time.Entrance via low-effort, current bx in repertoire. Interrelated r+ contingencies motivate acquisition, extension, maintenance of target skills.
Question 10: Distinguishing between Setting/Situation Generalization and Response Maintenance
Answer:
-when a beh is produced in learning setting & is not in gen environment, a lack of setting gen is evident -when a beh change produced in learning setting has occurred at least 1x in gen setting but then stops occur, lack of response maintenance is eviden
Question 11: Programming Indiscriminable Contingencies
Answer:
-intermittent schedules of reinforcement -use delayed rewards
Question 12: Undesirable response generalization
Answer:
Any of a learner's untrained but functionally equivalent responses produce undesirable outcomes.
Question 13: Overgeneralization
Answer:
Undesirable setting/situation generalization in which the behavior has come under control of a stimulus class that is too broad
Question 14: Response Maintenance
Answer:
-the extent to which a learner continues to perform the target behaviour after some or all of the related intervention has been terminated Question 15: Strategies & Tactics for Promoting Generalized Beh Change: teach the full range of relevant stimulus conditions and response requirements
Answer:
-teach sufficient stimulus examples -teach sufficient response examples
Question 16: Indiscriminable Contingency
Answer:
-a contingency that makes it difficult for the learner to discriminate whether the next response will produce reinforcement
Question 17: Strategies & Tactics for Promoting Generalized Beh Change: mediate generalization
Answer:
-contrive a mediating stimulus -teach self-management skills
Question 18: Principles for Promoting Generalized Outcomes
Answer:
-minimize need for generalization as much as possible -conduct gen probes before, during & after instruction -involve significant others -promote generalized beh change w/ least intrusive & costly tactics possible -contrive intervention tactics as nee
Question 19: Generalization
Answer:
-a generic term for the variety of behavioural processes and behaviour change outcomes
Question 20: Guidelines for Programming Indiscriminable Contingencies
Answer:
-use con't R+ during intial training -systematical thin R+ schedule -when using delayed rewards, begin by delivering the R+ immediately following beh and then gradually increase latency -each time delayed R+ is delivered explain what beh earned it
Question 21: Instruct the Learner to Generalize
Answer:
-simplest and least expensive tactic for promoting generalized beh change is to 'tell the subject about the possibility of generalization and then ask for it'
Question 22: Naturally Existing Contingency
Answer:
-any contingency of reinforcement or punishment that operates independent of a BA's or practitioner's efforts
