REINFORCEMENT—ANSWER--an event that occurs after a behavior
REINFORCER—ANSWER--Item or Activity delivered after and increases the the behavior is
called:
Differential Reinforcement—ANSWER--when you combine reinforcement with extinction to
increase one desirable behavior, while at the same time decreasing the undesirable behavior
Value, Effort, Rate, Magnitude—ANSWER--What does VERMI stand for
Modeling—ANSWER--may not be an effective teaching procedure for individuals who don't
readily imitate
Instructional Control—ANSWER--having a positive relationship with the learner, comes after
pairing
Video Modeling—ANSWER--using taped sequences as examples of behavior the teacher
wants the student to imitate
self video modeling—ANSWER--when the student views themselves as the example of
behavior
Given in large quantities, so they contact lots of reinforcement in a short amount of time—
ANSWER--A reinforcer should not be:
, Prompt Fading—ANSWER--used to reduce assistance to a less intrusive prompt
Stimulus Fading—ANSWER--Highlighting a physical dimension of a stimulus to increase the
likelihood of a correct response, then the highlighted dimension is faded out

highlighted?
True—ANSWER--T/F Pairing can take days or weeks depending on the childs learning history
Task Analysis—ANSWER--Breaking skills into smaller, teachable units, the product of which is
a series of sequentially ordered steps

responds 'fish.' Which operant is that?
TACT—ANSWER--person sees a fish and says fish
ECHOIC—ANSWER--someone says fish, and the learner repeats fish
Forward Chaining—ANSWER--teaching a task from beginning to end in its naturally occurring
order
backwards chaining—ANSWER--teacher identifies all the behaviors in the task analysis
except for the last step
