TOPIC 1: IMITATION AND MODELING
7 Questions • 11.5% of Exam • This topic covers the principles of imitation and modeling as interventions in behavior analysis.
QUESTION 1
With an understanding of the imitation process, applied behavior analysts can use imitation as an
intervention to: a.) Eliminate Old Behaviors b.) Evoke New behaviors c.) Create teaching
sequences d.) Reinforce appropriate behaviors
Answer: B.) Evoke New behaviors.
Rationale: Imitation is a powerful tool in applied behavior analysis because it allows individuals to learn new behaviors by observing
and imitating others. By evoking new behaviors through imitation, applied behavior analysts can intentionally teach and shape new
skills, such as social skills, communication skills, or adaptive behaviors, which is the primary goal of using imitation as an intervention.
QUESTION 2
Regardless of the behavior modeled, the objective of imitation training is for the learner to do
what? a.) What the model does b.) What the trainer asked or commanded c.) What behavior fits
the situation d.) What behavior will receive reinforcement
Answer: A.) What the model does.
Rationale: Imitation training aims to enable the learner to replicate the model's behavior, regardless of what that behavior is. By doing
so, the learner develops the ability to mimic the model's actions, which is the primary objective of imitation training, making
option a.) What the model does the correct answer.

QUESTION 3
What are the two types of models that are part of imitation?
Answer: Planned and Unplanned.
Rationale: In the context of imitation, planned models refer to intentional and deliberate behavior that is carefully thought out and
executed, whereas unplanned models involve unintentional and spontaneous actions that arise from situational needs or environmental
demands. The distinction between these two types of models is crucial in understanding how individuals learn and adapt to new
situations through imitation, as it highlights the role of intentionality and environmental influences in shaping behavior.
QUESTION 4
The controlling variable for an imitative behavior is: a.) An operative behavior b.)An imitative
response chain c.) A model d.) A pre-task
Answer: C.) A model.
Rationale: The controlling variable for an imitative behavior is the model because an imitative behavior is one that is copied from
another individual, known as the model, and is driven by the observation and imitation of the model's actions. By identifying the model
as the controlling variable, researchers can isolate the specific factors that influence an individual's decision to imitate another's
behavior, such as the characteristics of the model or the context in which the behavior is observed.
QUESTION 5
Potential learners cannot imitate if they do not have this prerequisite skill: a.) The behavior in
their repertoire b.) Attending to the model c.) Decrease in problem behavior d.) Ability to define
the behavior
Answer: B.) Attending to the model.
Rationale: To imitate, potential learners must first focus their attention on the model exhibiting the behavior, which is the prerequisite
skill "b.) Attending to the model". Without this skill, learners are unable to perceive and process the behavior being modeled, making it
impossible to imitate the behavior.
