Chapter 6 L, S, A Flashcards
Which of the following is NOT one of the three components identified in the chapter that can facilitate continued professional development?
Advanced observation and discrimination skills
Self-management skills
Continued publication of peer-reviewed research
Membership in a skilled community of practice
Continued publication of peer-reviewed research
All of the following are critical components for maximizing growing professional skills through observation EXCEPT:
Accurately self-evaluating one’s own performance and adjusting as needed
Attending to performance when observing
Observing only those whose performance is deficient in order to identify behaviors that should be avoided
Intentionally imitating the critical correct responses modeled
Observing only those whose performance is deficient in order to identify behaviors that should be avoided
Learning through observing, without also engaging in careful discrimination and self-evaluation, could lead to defective repertoires and ineffective practice.

Which of the following people is MOST likely to be a true expert?
Ana who is described as an expert on verbal behavior by several prominent people in the community
Dave who has published several peer-reviewed scientific publications related to functional communication training
Sara who has a series of popular online courses related to potty training advertised via Facebook
Mario whose videos related to behavior analysis are often shared via Instagram.
Dave who has published several peer-reviewed scientific publications related to functional communication training
During observation, in addition to carefully and precisely describing what they see when observing, the observer should also do which of the following?
Teach effective observing
Describe what they are not seeing
Consider their own personal experiences
None of these are correct
Describe what they are not seeing
Asking open-ended questions may be more likely to do all of the following EXCEPT:
Avoid implicit prejudices
Produce yes or no answers
None of these are correct
Evoke narrative responses
Produce yes or no answers
Why might video examples be the best way for the supervisee and supervisor to observe an expert’s performance together?
The supervisor and the supervisee will be able to talk out loud during the observation.
A video allows the supervisor to rewind and review particularly interesting parts of the observation.
None of these answers are correct; video examples are not a good way for supervisees and supervisors to observe expert performance.
Supervisors have greater control over what the supervisee will observe when the example is viewed as a video.
The supervisor and the supervisee will be able to talk out loud during the observation.
Which of the following is NOT one of the actions listed in the book that supervisors should do during initial observations?
Describe the conditions under which different responses would and would not be appropriate
Requiring the supervisee to perform the entire observation independently
Describe what the effects of the responses were
Describe what they did and did not observe
Requiring the supervisee to perform the entire observation independently
Self-observing requires the performer to attend to which of the following?
Their own behavior
External stimuli that are correlates of the individual’s own behavior
Their own private events
All of these answers are correct
All of the these are correct
Self-reflection involves which of the following?
None of these answers are correct
Observing one’s own behavior and external stimuli related to one’s own behavior
Observing and evaluating the behavior of experts and using that information to determine if another person’s behavior needs to change
Observing and evaluating the performer’s own behavior against some standard and using that information to determine whether or not their behavior needs to change
Observing and evaluating the performer’s own behavior against some standard and using that information to determine whether or not their behavior needs to change
Supervisees should be guided to all of the following realizations EXCEPT:
The behaviors that work well to produce outcomes for others might not work for them.
A response can be adapted to their style and cultural context if they know the function of the response.
How to engage in similar responses to produce the same outcome in similar situations even if the topography differs
Once they have observed expert behavior, they should aim to imitate that behavior exactly
Once they have observed expert behavior, they should aim to imitate that behavior exactly
Which of the following might a supervisor do in the process of establishing and, if needed, shaping the accuracy of the supervisee’s self-reporting skills?
None of these answers are correct
Asking an overly confident supervisee to identify things they did well
Asking an overly critical supervisee to identify things they did not do well
Asking an overly critical supervisee to identify things done well
Asking an overly critical supervisee to identify things done well
A disconnect between the supervisee’s response to receiving corrective feedback and future performance of the skill for which feedback was provided might be an indicator of what?
A supervisor who is not skilled at providing corrective feedback
A supervisor who is overly critical of the supervise
A supervisee who has successfully learned how to self-observe and reflect on their own behavior
A supervisee who struggles to self-observe and reflect on their own behavior
A supervisee who struggles to self-observe and reflect on their own behavior
If a supervisee has difficulty discriminating the presence of errors in their own behavior, what should the supervisor do?
Provide more high-quality feedback
Systematically teach self-observing and reflection skills
Stop providing feedback because it is ineffective
Ensure that the feedback is received enthusiastically by the supervisee
Systematically teach self-observing and reflection skills
