EDF 6223 100% SOLUTION 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 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 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. - ANSWER True How should a task analysis be individualized? - ANSWER 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? - ANSWER 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. - ANSWER c.)The entire chain or steps within the chain must be completed in a given period of time. What is the probability of reinforcement when utilizing an extinction procedure? a) O% b) 15% c) 50% d) Variable - ANSWER a) O% An immediate increase in frequency and/or amplitude of the response after the removal of the maintaining reinforcer is called a. Extinction burst b. Reinforcement c. Noncontingent reinforcement d. Punishment - ANSWER a. Extinction burst The reappearance of a behavior after it has diminished to its pre-reinforced level and/or stopped entirely is called: a) Extinction burst b) Spontaneous recovery c) Differential reinforcement d) Procedural extinction - ANSWER b) Spontaneous recovery Differential reinforcement always includes what two principles of behavior? a. Reinforcement and punishment b. Reinforcement and stimulus control c. Reinforcement and extinction d. Positive and negative reinforcement - ANSWER c. Reinforcement and extinction A DRL intervention is useful when the practitioner wants to: a. Get rid of a target behavior all together b. Teach a new response to replace the problem behavior c. Decrease the overall rate of a problem behavior, but not get rid of it all together d. Increase the overall rate of a target behavior - ANSWER c. Decrease the overall rate of a problem behavior, but not get rid of it all together NCR uses three distinct procedures that identify and deliver stimuli with known reinforcing properties. What are they? - ANSWER positive reinforcement with social mediation, negative reinforcement escape, and automatic reinforcement without social mediation Functional communication training is considered to be: a. Consequent intervention b. Punishment strategy c. Antecedent intervention d. Behavioral momentum technique - ANSWER c. Antecedent intervention Behaviors selected for a high-p request sequence should: a) Be a part of the learner's current repertoire b) Be new behavior(s) the learner has to acquire c) Have a very long duration of occurrence d) Be those behaviors with which the learner is not compliant - ANSWER a) Be a part of the learner's current repertoire To effectively implement a high-p request sequence, it is important to:a) Select behaviors not in the learner's current behavior repertoire b) Not acknowledge compliance c) Use reinforcers with limited reinforcing value d) Present requests in a rapid sequence - ANSWER d) Present requests in a rapid sequence Noncontingent reinforcement involves the presentation of: a) Stimuli with unknown reinforcing properties that are delivered on a fixed-time or variable time schedule independent of the learner's behavior b) Stimuli with known reinforcing properties that are delivered on a fixed-time or variable-time schedule independent of the learner's behavior c) Stimuli with known reinforcing properties that are delivered on a fixed-ratio or variable-ratio schedule independent of the learner's behavior d) Stimuli with known reinforcing properties that are delivered on a fixed-time or variable-time schedule dependent on the learner's behavior - ANSWER b) Stimuli with known reinforcing properties that are delivered on a fixed-time or variable-time schedule independent of the learner's behavior A contingency contract: a)Is a verbal agreement among two individuals b)Specifies how two people will behave toward each other c)Often causes scapegoating among learners and peers d)Depends largely on the use of punishment for its effectiveness - ANSWER b)Specifies how two people will behave toward each other The primary reason one might consider using a level system with a token system is that: a) Doing so can foster self-management b) Doing so makes it easier to withdraw the token economy c) Level systems are more preferred for all learners d) Level systems are easier to manage - ANSWER a) Doing so can foster self-management Token economies often need to be: a) Complex b) Individualized c) Maintained forever d) All of these - ANSWER b) Individualized When selecting backup reinforcers: a) Consider ethical and legal issues b) It is a good idea to use basic need items (e.g., lunch) as a reinforcer c) Keep the pool of backup reinforcers small d) Never use edibles - ANSWER a) Consider ethical and legal issues A teacher says to his class: "Melissa is working on remembering to follow instructions when I give them. Melissa is going to keep track of whether or not she follows my instructions. If she follows 90% of my instructions today (or better), our whole class will watch a movie at the end of the day." What type of group contingency is this? a) Independent b) Dependent c) Interdependent d) None of these - ANSWER b) Dependen
