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
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
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.
True
,How should a task analysis be individualized?
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?
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.
What is the probability of reinforcement when utilizing an extinction procedure?
