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 –
b.) Evoke New behaviors
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 - a.) What the model does
True or False - Task Analysis involves breaking a complex skill into smaller, teachable units, the product
of which is a series of sequentially order steps or behaviors. - True
How should a task analysis be individualized? - According to age, skill level and experience of the person
in question
True or False - Chaining can be used to add behaviors to an existing behavioral repertoire? - True
A behavior chain with a limited hold means:
a.) The number of steps in the chain is limited.
b.)The learner must "hold" his/her responses for a specified period of time.
c.)The entire chain or steps within the chain must be completed in a given period of time.

d.)Accuracy of the performance of steps is not important. - c.)The entire chain or steps within the chain
