When you ask them if they ever give in to their child when he tantrums, they respond with, "not usually". What kind of schedule of reinforcement is this child on?

The systematic removal of additional stimuli so that the child is responding independently to the SD A consequence that leads to an increase in the behavior Reinforcing successive approximations towards a desired response while extinguishing previous approximations Providing additional stimuli to ensure a correct response Correct Answer: Reinforcing successive approximations towards a desired response while extinguishing previous approximations What is mass trial? Repeated presentation of the same SD & target A procedure for teaching multiple targets simultaneously A form of child guided therapy where the therapist follows the child and works on targets as they come up naturally When 10 or more people are all being tried in a courtroom at the same time Correct Answer: Repeated presentation of the same SD & target The colors lesson has not been introduced yet. The supervisor wants you to introduce the first targets by placing out color cards on the table and giving the instruction "Give me (color)". Which teaching procedure should you use?

Shaping Prompting Task Analysis Discrimination Training Correct Answer: Task Analysis If a child has all ready learned the emotions, "happy", "sad", and "angry", and the next target is "scared", how would you teach "scared" if the SD is "show me (emotion)? Mass trial "scared" first and then Random Rotate with the previously mastered targets Begin teaching "scared" in Random Rotation with the other targets Mass trial "scared" with trials of "happy" interspersed Mass trial "scared" and then move on to the next target. Once all targets are mastered in Mass trial, then begin random rotating all targets. Correct Answer: Mass trial "scared" first and then Random Rotate with the previously mastered targets What is a prompt? An additional stimulus that facilitates a correct response A consequence that decreases a behavior in the future Providing reinforcement for correct responding The systematic removal of an additional stimulus Correct Answer: An additional stimulus that facilitates a correct response What is the general mastery criterion?
