Questions and CORRECT Answers
Task analysis - CORRECT ANSWER- The process (and product) of reducing a complex
behavior and sequences of behavior to their component elements
What is a task analysis used for? - CORRECT ANSWER- -Determining the sequence of
behaviors an individual must perform to complete a given task
-Teaching complex behaviors such as physical movements or academic tasks
-Reinforcing small steps toward attainment of the final performance
-Giving feedback on the details of a complex behavior
Conducting a task analysis - CORRECT ANSWER- 1. Determine terminal objective: what
skills or behaviors will be taught? What's the end behavior?
2. Set criterion for mastery: what is the behavior, condition, and criterion?
3. Specify any prerequisite skills: where is the learner now?
4. Take into account dimension concerns: how are we measuring success?
5. List all steps: what are the necessary steps? Are these universal? Is the sequence correct?
6. Include needed props/materials
Shaping - CORRECT ANSWER- Teaching new behaviors through differential reinforcement
of successive approximations to a specified target/terminal behavior
When to use shaping? - CORRECT ANSWER- When there is a wide gap between the
operant level of functioning and the target behavior
Successive approximations - CORRECT ANSWER- The component parts of a task (resulting
from a task analysis) that resemble the terminal behavior along some meaningful dimension
and that, when properly sequenced, lead to exhibition of the terminal behavior
-The initial and intermediate behaviors that lead to the terminal behavior
, Shifting criterion - CORRECT ANSWER- The gradual increase of the criterion for
reinforcement. Sometimes called changing criterion
When should you shift the criterion? - CORRECT ANSWER- When the student can engage
in the successive approximation on a variable schedule of reinforcement
Shaping behaviors refers to the reinforcement of ___ ___ of a terminal behavior - CORRECT
ANSWER- successive approximations
Behavioral chain - CORRECT ANSWER- A sequence of stimuli and responses. Each
response produces a change in the environment that acts as a discriminative stimulus for the
next response
Behavior principle - CORRECT ANSWER- Behaviors are linked together in sequences
where one behavior produces a reinforcer for a preceding behavior and a cue (SD) for a
subsequent behavior
Behavioral chaining - CORRECT ANSWER- Reinforcing responses when they occur in a
sequence so that they form a complex behavior. Help strengthen new behaviors and weaken
maladaptive ones.
Forward chaining - CORRECT ANSWER- Steps in the chain are taught in forward sequence
first to last
Task presentation chaining - CORRECT ANSWER- Simultaneous training of all links in a
behavioral chain. Use for short, simple tasks. Most difficult to implement
Backward chaining - CORRECT ANSWER- The terminal response (target response) in the
chain is taught first. The response that preceded it is reinforced next until the initial response
in the chain is taught. Helps make efficient use of positive reinforcement to establish a strong
chain
Fixed interval (FI) - CORRECT ANSWER- The same amount of time elapses when the
reinforcement is delivered. Report the unit of time in schedule (ex. FI 2 minutes). Post
