EDF 6223 EXAM 3 CERTIFICATION TEST 2026
QUESTIONS AND VERIFIED ANSWERS ALREADY
PASSED
◉ 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
