The difference(s) between a cri!cal attribute and a variable attribute is/are - ANSWER A change
in cri!cal attributes results in a different skill; a change in variable attributes produces a new
example.
The difference(s) between a variable attribute and an uncontrolled attribute is/are: - ANSWER
Variable attributes are purposefully manipulated, shaping the skill towards mastery.
Uncontrolled a"ributes should always be randomly presented to avoid faulty s!mulus control.
When teaching a learner how to write their name, you are teaching them an operation. -
ANSWER True
Teaching the name of something is to teach a/an - ANSWER Concept
Which one is not a formal step in Instructional Design: - ANSWER Mastery Goals
A component skill is made up of multiple composite skills. - ANSWER False
A _______________ is the most fundamental skill of the content area. - ANSWER Tool skill
The formula to create a pinpoint is - ANSWER Learning channel + thing counted + context
• Clarity in what everyone is measuring.
• Understanding of the precise thing counted.
• Simplicity in one phrase instead of a paragraph of an operational definition - ANSWER benefits
of using pinpoints
, What is missing from this pinpoint: solving math facts 0-9 on worksheet - ANSWER Learning
Channel
What part of the pinpoint tells you how the learner comes into contact with the stimuli and
behaves with respect to the stimuli? - ANSWER Learning Channel
Permutatons of various levels of difficulty that are used to train/teach a skill towards mastery.
Mostly comprised of variable attributes that are arranged by complexity within each variable
attributes category.
Defines the depth of the concept or operation being taught. - ANSWER Scope
What are objectives? - ANSWER Terminal level of scope at mastery levels of performance
According to Richling, Williams, and Carr, what was the most op!mal level of accuracy to
produce maintenance? - ANSWER 100%
What is a superior mastery criterion to accuracy alone? - ANSWER Adding a frequency (rate)
measure to accuracy
What are the 5 outcomes of true mastery, or fluency? - ANSWER Maintenance, Endurance,
Stability, Applica!on, Generativity
