ACTUAL Questions and CORRECT
Answers
Generalization may occur - CORRECT ANSWER -- Across settings
- Across BX's
- Across Subjects
Behavioral contrast - CORRECT ANSWER -Generalization in which BX changes in opposite
directions across settings
you will know that generalized bx change has taken place if trained bx occurs - CORRECT
ANSWER -- At other places w/o training
_ At other times w/o training
- other functionally related bx's are displayed that were not directly taught
Response Maintenance - CORRECT ANSWER -refers to the extent to which a learner continues to
perform the target behavior after a portion or all of the intervention responsible for the behaviors initial
appearance in the learners repertoire has been terminated
Setting/Situation Generalization - CORRECT ANSWER -This is the extent to which a learner
emits the target behavior in a setting or stimulus situation that is different from the instructional setting.
Instructional Setting - CORRECT ANSWER -The environment where instruction occurs; includes
all aspects of the environment, planned and unplanned, that may influence the learner's acquisition and
generalization of the target behavior.
Generalization Setting - CORRECT ANSWER -Any place or stimulus situation that differs in some
meaningful way from the instructional setting and in which performance of the target behavior is desired.
Response Generalization - CORRECT ANSWER -The extent to which a learner emits untrained
responses that are functionally equivalent to the trained target behavior.
, Overgeneralization - CORRECT ANSWER -Undesirable generalization in which the Bx has come
under control of a stimulus class that is too broad.
Generalization Map - CORRECT ANSWER -a conceptual framework for combining and
categorizing the various types of generalized behavior change.
The first step to promoting generalized bx changes is to - CORRECT ANSWER -Select target Bxs
that will meet naturally existing contingencies of reinforcement
Naturally existing contingency - CORRECT ANSWER -Any contingency of reinforcement (or
punishment) that operates independent of the behavior analyst's or practitioner's efforts; includes socially
mediated contingencies contrived by other people and already in effect in the relevant setting.
contrived contingency - CORRECT ANSWER -Any contingency of reinforcement (or punishment)
designed and implemented by a behavior analyst or practitioner to achieve the acquisition, maintenance,
and/or generalization of a targeted behavior change.
Planning for generalization - CORRECT ANSWER -includes identifying all the desired behavior
changes and all the environments in which the learner should emit the target behaviors after direct
training has ceased.
Teaching enough stimulus examples - CORRECT ANSWER -This strategy involves teaching the
learner to respond correctly to more than one example of an antecedent stimulus and probing for
generalization to untaught stimulus examples.
Teaching Enough Examples - CORRECT ANSWER -A strategy for promoting generalized
behavior change that consists of teaching the learner to respond to a subset of all of the relevant stimulus
and response examples and then assessing the learner's performance on untrained examples.
Generalization probe - CORRECT ANSWER -Any measurement of a learner's performance of a
target behavior in a setting and/or stimulus situation in which direct training has not been provided.
