G07 Use Shaping Part 1 Flashcards
One member of a response class is reinforced while other members are not reinforced - is one definition of
Differential reinforcement
The efficiency of shaping can be enhanced by
Using prompts and prompt fading
An intermediate behavior closer to the desired behavior than the original behavior, but falling short of the desired behavior is
A successive approximation
A classroom teacher has decided to shape a student’s penmanship while she monitors the entire class. She regularly check son the student’s work, but has few occasions to reinforce improvement in his writing. An appropriate solution to this problem could be to
Provide differential reinforcement for the permanent products
The form of the behavior remains constant when shaping a
Behavior within a topography
Differential reinforcement of successive approximations to a performance criterion is
Shaping
A student learning to say “ball” first receives reinforcement for making a “buh” sound; then reinforcement is provided only if he also makes the “buh + aw” sound. This is
Differential reinforcement across response topographies
The efficiency of shaping can be enhanced by
Ending each shaping session by reinforcing the last few responses.
Setting shaping goals.
Using prompts and fading prompts.
You are assigned… an appropriate solution to this problem is to
Teach the skill using instruction, modeling, prompting, and chaining.
“One topography of a response class is reinforced and other topographies are not reinforced” defines
Differential reinforcement across response topographies
Differential reinforcement
Is commonly used in shaping new behaviors and reducing problem behaviors.
Initially, only reading that meets a criterion of 10 words per minute is reinforced; later the criterion for reinforcement is 12 words, then 14 words, etc. This represents
Differential reinforcement within a response topography
