Unit 4 Quiz Flashcards
A stimulus delta is:
A stimulus in the presence of which a response will not be reinforced.
Antecedent control procedures are used when:
All the above:
The goal is to increase a desirable behavior, the goal is to decrease a competing behavior, and the behavior is already in the person’s repertoire.
Antecedent control procedures are used when:
The change agent has control over relevant antecedent events
In order for prompting and fading to lead to stimulus control, the prompts must be presented in the presence of:
The discriminative stimulus
Incidental training can help promote__________.
Generalization and maintenance of behavior change
Matt’s dad is teaching him to shoot a basketball. His dad takes the ball and demonstrates to Matt how to shoot it through the hoop. The use of antecedent stimuli by his dad in order to get Matt to engage in the right behavior at the right time is called:
Prompting
Teaching in a setting that naturally surrounds the child, but still involves contrived and planned exercises and data collection is referred to as:
Natural environment teaching (NET)
The following is an example of using what type of procedure:
Instructor: Knows that the learner loves ice cream. Sees the learner looking out the window as the ice cream truck arrives.
Learner: Starts to head for the front door.
Instructor: Blocks access to the door and says, “Open.”
Learner: Says, “Open.”
Incidental teaching
The following is an example of what type of procedure:
Instructor: Holds up a picture of a fish and says, “What is it?”
Student: “Ocean.”
Instructor: Holds up a picture of a fish again and says, “What is this?” then immediately says, “Fish.”
Student: Echoes, “Fish,” based on the verbal response of the instructor.
Instructor: “Right. What is it?”
Student: Says, “Fish,” without a prompt, responding only to the S D of the question.
Error correction
The incidental teaching model is likely to work best for which of the following targets?
Mand
The procedures of prompting and fading are used to:
All of these:
Develop stimulus control, get existing behavior to occur at the correct time, develop new behaviors
What do the procedures of using most-to-least prompts, time delay, and stimulus fading have in common?
They can all be used as part of errorless learning procedures
When running a discrete trial, all of the following should be applied except:
Only use prompting procedures
When running a listener training trial, Marvin did the following: He said, “Clap your hands Alyssa,” then immediately physically prompted Alyssa to clap her hands. He said, “Great. Clap your hands.” Alyssa responded independently by clapping her hands, so Marvin handed her a highly preferred reinforcer, a gummy bear. This is an example of what type of procedure?
Using a transfer trial
When would you consider the use of antecedent control strategies?
B and C:
After you have conducted a functional assessment of the behavior to be modified
When your goal is to increase or decrease a target behavior
Which of the following is not a consideration when setting up an ABA/VB program in the natural environment?
Say the child’s name with every trial
Which of the following is not a method of transferring stimulus control?
Prompt satiation
Which of the following methods might be used as part of an errorless learning procedure?
Time delay
Which of the following statements is false?
Stimulus generalization is a desired long-term goal of all behavioral interventions.
Which of the following targets could be taught using an errorless learning procedure?
All the above:
Arithmetic operations, card-sorting, learning routes through a city
Which statement is true?
Conditioned stimuli acquire their controlling functions through associations with other antecedent stimuli that elicit behavior
Which type of prompt in the most intrusive?
Physical prompt
