EDF 6226 Final Exam Questions with Verified
Correct Answers
Extent to which a learner continues to perform a target behavior after a portion or all of
the intervention responsible for the behavior's initial appearance in the learner's repertoire
has been terminated
Response maintenance
Extent to which a learner emits untrained responses that are functionally equivalent to the
trained target behavior
Response generalization
The extent to which a learner emits the target behavior in a setting or stimulus that differs
from the instructional setting in some meaningful way
Setting/situation generalization
What is the one major criterion to determine functionality?
A behavior is functional only if it produces reinforcement for the learner
Identify the 4 parts of the generalization map
Across time, settings, behaviors, and subjects
Complex components of an individual's repertoire sometimes appear quickly with little or
no apparent direct conditioning
Stimulus equivalence
, Process whereby behaviors initially established under one set of contingency conditions are
recruited and recombined by a different set of contingencies and take on a new function in
a person's repertoire
Contingency adduction
The target behavior comes under control of an irrelevant stimulus
Faulty stimulus control
The behavior comes under the control of an overly broad stimulus class
Overgeneralization
In ___________ the behavior is emitted in the presence of stimuli that, while similar in
some way to instructional examples, are inappropriate occasions for the behavior
Overgeneralization
Undesired ________ _______ occurs when a learner's untrained but functionally equivalent
responses result in poor performance or undesirable outcomes
Response generalization
Teaching the learner to respond correctly to multiple examples of antecedent stimulus
conditions and probing for generalization to untaught stimulus examples
Teach enough examples
The 4 dimensions for teach enough examples:
1. The specific ____ taught
2. The _____ ______ in which the item is taught
