QUESTIONS AND SOLUTIONS COMPLETE
REVIEW MATERIAL
●● target behavior
Answer:
●● formal similarity
Answer: occurs when the model's and the imitator's behavior physically
resemble each other and are in the same mode
●● model
Answer: an antecedent stimulus with topographical similarity to the
behavior the analyst wants to be imitated
●● planned models
Answer: prearranged demonstrations of behavior that show the learner
exactly what to do, be it acquiring new skills or refining the topography
of certain elements of existing skills-can be live or filmed
●● unplanned models
Answer: occasion imitation in everyday social environments
,●● what is the most important property defining imitation?
Answer: the controlling relation between a model's demonstration and a
learner's performance of topographically similar behavior
●● T/F: an imitative behavior is a new behavior that follows a novel
antecedent eventT/F: an imitative behavior is a new behavior that
follows a novel antecedent event
Answer: true
●● modeling
Answer: a behavior change strategy in which learners acquire new skills
by imitating demonstrations of the skills by live or symbolic models. the
model shows, demonstrates, or conveys exactly the behavior the learner
is expected to convey. can be live, symbolic, or recorded
●● shaping
Answer: the differential reinforcement of successive approximations
toward a terminal behavior. the antecedent stimulus for the terminal
behavior stays the same, while the response progressively becomes more
differentiated
●● differential reinforcement
Answer: presenting an unconditioned or conditioned reinforcer only to
those emitted members of a response class that share a specified
, dimension or quality, while placing all other emitted response class
members on extinction
●● performance dimensions that can be shaped
Answer: 1. topography: refining motor movements
2. rate: increasing number of correct responses
3. latency: decreasing compliance time between a directive
4. duration: increasing time spent on task
5. IRT: reducing rapid eating
6. magnitude: increasing projected voice volume
●● shaping guidelines
Answer: 1. select the terminal behavior and define it precisely
2. determine the criterion for success
3. assess the response repertoire
4. identify behaviors to reinforce
5. eliminate interfering or extraneous stimuli
6. proceed gradually
7. limit the number of approximation at each level
8. continue to reinforce when terminal behavior is achieved
●● behavior chain
