EDF 6221 Test 2 Task analysis - correct answer The process (and product) of reducing a complex behavior and sequences of behavior to their component elements What is a task analysis used for? - correct answer -Determining the sequence of behaviors an individual must perform to complete a given task -Teaching complex behaviors such as physical movements or academic tasks -Reinforcing small steps toward attainment of the final performance -Giving feedback on the details of a complex behavior Conducting a task analysis - correct answer 1. Determine terminal objective: what skills or behaviors will be taught? What's the end behavior? 2. Set criterion for mastery: what is the behavior, condition, and criterion? 3. Specify any prerequisite skills: where is the learner now? 4. Take into account dimension concerns: how are we measuring success? 5. List all steps: what are the necessary steps? Are these universal? Is the sequence correct? 6. Include needed props/materials Shaping - correct answer Teaching new behaviors through differential reinforcement of successive approximations to a specified target/terminal behavior When to use shaping? - correct answer When there is a wide gap between the operant level of functioning and the target behavior Successive approximations - correct answer The component parts of a task (resulting from a task analysis) that resemble the terminal behavior along some meaningful dimension and that, when properly sequenced, lead to exhibition of the terminal behavior -The initial and intermediate behaviors that lead to the terminal behavior
