Ms. Anita Response wants Sophie to write more words in her stories during creative
writing time. She uses shaping to do so. What dimension of behavior is she shaping?
Frequency
Which of the following is a good example of shaping an individual to hit a golf ball
correctly (i.e., take the appropriate back swing, swing the club down to the ball, and
follow through with the swing?
Reinforce any swing that resembles a golf swing. Gradually reinforce closer and closer
approximations of a correct golf swing, withholding reinforcement for poorer
approximations of a correct golf play

screen Brainpower Read More Kara has been learning to board a public bus, put money
in the slot, and sit in her seat, waiting for her stop. Then she pulls the cord to indicate
where she should get off. She had practiced this skill in her small home town where
there are seldom more than 5 people on the bus. She has gone to Chicago with her
parents to visit her aunt. She rode the bus with her parents in Chicago and was unable
to do many steps in the chain. For instance, she wasn't able to put her money in the slot
and had some difficulties in choosing a seat. Her parents also noticed that she was
much distracted by all of the people on the bus, compared with a few people on the bus
at home. Which of the following best accounts for Kara's inability to perform chain
responses which she had mastered at home?
There were novel stimuli present in Chicago that were not present at home which
impeded Kara's Chain
There were novel stimuli present in Chicago that were not present at home which
impeded Kara's Chain
Overall Shape
All of the above
,What is the reason for performing a validation of a task analysis?
determining the sequence of behaviors that are necessary and sufficient to complete a
given task efficiently
List one of 3 methods to validate a task analysis.
watch competent individuals complete the desired sequence of behaviors, consult with
experts, complete the behaviors yourself
What are the 2 exceptions to components in a behavior chain serving a dual function?
The 1st response only serves as a discriminative stimulus
The final response is only a conditioned reinforcer
Example of a behavior chain
Putting on a coat, making a sandwich, setting the table, wrapping a gift
Task Analysis is a method of breaking a complex skill into smaller, teachable units, the
product of which is a series of sequentially ordered steps or behaviors
True
How should a task analysis be individualized?
According to age, skill level, experience of the person in question
Chaining can be used to add behaviors to an existing behavioral repertoire
True
A behavior chain with a limited hold means
The entire chain or steps within the chain must be completed in a given period of time.
, What is a risk of choosing the single opportunity method of assessment for assessing
mastery of a task analysis?
You may underestimate the learner's abilities
Peer models have been used to teach children with disabilities to perform complex tasks
using what form of chaining?
Total task chaining
Behavior chains and chaining procedures are important because
All of these
How are forward and backward chaining different?
Forward chaining means the learner learns the first step first in the sequence and
backward chaining means the learner learns the last behavior in the sequence first (but
the steps are still learned in the correct sequence).
The two key procedural components of shaping are:
differential reinforcement and successive approximations
What behavior dimensions can you change with differential reinforcement?
Frequency, duration, latency, magnitude
Potential learners cannot imitate if they do not have this prerequisite skill:
looking at the model
DRO interventions:
reinforce not responding
A limitation of DRO is
other inappropriate behaviors may be inadvertently reinforced.
In DRA, a practitioner:
