ASR #7
Which of the following best defines a skill deficit?
a. Task materials and relevant instructions do
not occasion predetermined level of

successive approximations to target
behavior
A
ASR #8
Which of the following best defines a
performance deficit?

unmotivated to respond under appropriate
stimulus conditions

changed by differentially reinforcing successive approximations to target behavior
B
ASR #9

performance and skill deficit following the
provision of supplemental reinforcement
d. Responding very rapidly increases
D
ASR #10
Which of the following best defines a
shaping?
a. Task materials and relevant instructions do
not occasion predetermined level of
performance in absence of prompts
b. The skill is intact, but the person is
unmotivated to respond under appropriate
stimulus conditions
c. Some property of responding is gradually
changed by differentially reinforcing
successive approximations to target
behavior
C
ASR #11 In shaping, infrequent reinforcer delivery can result in which of the following? a. Satiation b. Strengthen early responses c. No change in the response d. Decrease or extinguish responding
D
ASR #12
In a lag 5 reinforcement schedule, the current response is reinforced if:
a. It differs from the last 5 preceding
responses along the specified dimension
b. It is the same as the last 5 preceding
responses along the specified dimension
c. It falls into some portion of the sampled
distribution (e.g., above the 5
th percentile)
d. It falls below some portion of the sampled
distribution (e.g., below the 5
th percentile)
A
ASR #13 In what order are prompts provided in least-to-most prompting? a. Physical guidance, verbal, gestural b. Verbal, physical guidance, gestural c. Gestural, verbal, physical guidance d. Verbal, gestural, physical guidance
D

B
ASR #18 According to the overjustification hypothesis, reinforcement contingencies (\_\_\_\_\_\_ rewards) lead to decrements in enjoyment (\_\_\_\_\_\_ rewards) and thus result in decreases in engagement. a.
