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 - ANS b.) Evoke New 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 - ANS a.) What the model does
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. - ANS True
How should a task analysis be individualized? - ANS 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? -
ANS 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. - ANS c.)The entire chain or steps within the chain
must be completed in a given period of time.
What is the probability of reinforcement when utilizing an extinction procedure? a) O% b) 15%
c) 50% d) Variable - ANS a) O%
An immediate increase in frequency and/or amplitude of the response after the removal of the
maintaining reinforcer is called a. Extinction burst b. Reinforcement c. Noncontingent
reinforcement d. Punishment - ANS a. Extinction burst
The reappearance of a behavior after it has diminished to its pre-reinforced level and/or
stopped entirely is called: a) Extinction burst b) Spontaneous recovery c) Differential
reinforcement d) Procedural extinction - ANS b) Spontaneous recovery
Differential reinforcement always includes what two principles of behavior? a. Reinforcement
and punishment b. Reinforcement and stimulus control c. Reinforcement and extinction d.
Positive and negative reinforcement - ANS c. Reinforcement and extinction
A DRL intervention is useful when the practitioner wants to: a. Get rid of a target behavior all
together b. Teach a new response to replace the problem behavior c. Decrease the overall rate
of a problem behavior, but not get rid of it all together d. Increase the overall rate of a target
behavior - ANS c. Decrease the overall rate of a problem behavior, but not get rid of it all
together
NCR uses three distinct procedures that identify and deliver stimuli with known reinforcing
properties. What are they? - ANS positive reinforcement with social mediation, negative
reinforcement escape, and automatic reinforcement without social mediation
