Each of the following is an example of a behavior except:
a) Mowing the lawn
b) Brushing your teeth
c) Blinking your eye
d) Writing your name - Answers Blinking your eye
A behavior chain with a limited hold means?
- the number of steps in the chain is limited
- the learner must "hold" his/her responses for a specified period of time
- the entire chain or steps within the chain must be completed in a given period of time - Answers the
entire chain or steps within the chain must be completed in a given period of time
Behavior chains and chaining procedures are important because:
- There are many behaviors that are considered behavior chains, and these behaviors lead to more
independence in life.
- Chaining can be combined with many other teaching procedures so that behaviors can be taught in a
variety of contexts
Chaining is an efficient training procedure-it can be used to combine already existing repertoires of
behavior into new behaviors
- All of these - Answers All of these
How are forward and backward chaining different?
- Forward chaining means the learner learns the steps to the skill in the correct order and backward
chaining means the learner learns the steps in the reverse order
- 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
- None of these - Answers 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
Peer models have been used to teach children with disabilities to perform complex tasks using which
form of chaining?
- Forward chaining
, - Backward chaining
- Total task chaining - Answers total task chaining
breaking down longer chains into smaller chains and/or skill clusters, teaching each skill cluster, and
then chaining each skill cluster is a variation of which form of behavior chaining?
- forward
- backward
- total task - Answers forward chaining
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
- you may inadvertently be teaching the individual the behavior during assessment
- all of these - Answers underestimate the learner's abilities
if you want to create a task analysis for a behavior you have no idea how to do yourself, how could you
construct it?
- you find people good at the behavior and ask how to do it
- watch people who know the task and observe what they do
- go to the literature to see if there's any published TA of the behavior
- all of these - Answers all of these
what is the probability of reinforcement when utilizing an extinction procedure?
- 0%
- 15%
- 50%
- variable - Answers 0%
a procedure in which reinforcement of a previously reinforced behavior is discontinued and as a result,
occurrences of that behavior decrease in the future is:
- punishment
- extinction
