SOLUTION
Which of the scenarios below shows pure imitation from Johnny? - ANSWER A teacher gave an instruction to the entire class, but Johnny did not understand the instruction. When he saw that his classmates started responding to the instruction, he followed exactly what they did.
Select all appropriate statements regarding the imitative repertoire. Select all that apply. - ANSWER Imitative repertoire is critical for individuals to learn new responses from unplanned models in a natural setting.
Imitation should be addressed in early intervention for children with autism.
Pure imitation is demonstrated when a novel model is presented, and the model has not been associated with reinforcement.
Which of the statements below regarding assessment of the prerequisite skills of imitation is correct? Select all that apply. - ANSWER Assessment should rule out potential problem behavior that may impede the imitation training.
Assessment data need to be collected for at least three sessions.
Assessment should include skills such as looking at the teacher, looking at the objects, and following objectives
Which of the procedures below is similar to the pretest protocol in imitation training? - ANSWER Discrete-trial arrangement
Which of the procedures below are recommended before starting imitation
training? Select all that apply. - ANSWER Learner performance using the selected models should be tested prior to the training to exclude any mastered models.
Teaching any missing attending skills.
Models selected for instruction should cover gross and fine motor movements.
Which of the procedures below are recommended during imitation training? Select all that apply. - ANSWER Presenting the selected models with DTT and errorless learning procedures.
Using pre-assessment in which each selected model is tested to assess learner's current performance.
Which of the statements below are appropriate? Select all that apply. - ANSWER To demonstrate generalized imitation, no instructions or auditory prompts can be provided before the model.
Probing should include a minimum of five models that are new to the learner and has not been associated with reinforcement yet.
Probing novel models is an essential step to assess the true imitative repertoire.
Which of the procedures below should be included in imitation training? Select all that apply. - ANSWER A termination criterion should be determined based on imitation of the novel models.
All verbal instructions should be faded, including the demand, "do this."
Establish verbal praise as an effective reinforcer to speed up the training.
Reinforce all correct immediate imitative responses throughout the
Which of the protocols below should be included when conducting task analysis? Select all that apply. - ANSWER Consult with previous literature on the necessary steps of a behavior chain.
Adjust the task analysis based on learner performance.
Complete the behavior chain yourself and write down the steps.
Reinforcing one topography of a response while putting the other one on extinction is: - ANSWER Differential reinforcement of response topography.
Which of the procedures below is an example of single-opportunity probe? Select all that apply. - ANSWER When assessing a learner's ability to set up a reminder on Calendar app, stop the assessment as soon as the learner misses a step.
When assessing a learner's ability to plan a route using Google Maps, stop the assessment as soon as the learner misses a step.
Which of the following statements is appropriate? Select all that apply. - ANSWER The effects of shaping can be enhanced through the use of prompting procedures.
If a practitioner reinforces a behavior after it has continued for 20 seconds, and then reinforces the behavior after it has continued for 15 seconds, followed by reinforcement for this behavior if it lasted below 10 seconds. This is an example of shaping the response duration.
In shaping, differential reinforcement can apply to different dimensions of a behavior.
Which of the options below is correct for teaching forward chaining? Select all that apply. - ANSWER The learner may not receive the terminal outcome initially.
A practitioner would begin by teaching only the first behavior.
A practitioner would teach one step at a time and add a new step when the previous one is mastered.
A practitioner would begin by teaching the first behavior and then complete the entire chain for the learner.
Which of the following examples best demonstrates shaping? Select all that apply. - ANSWER Deliver a reinforcer when a learner sits for an increased amount of time but withhold the reinforcer if the duration of being seated decreases.
The first step in a shaping program is to define the performance goal.
Shaping should be combined with a continuous reinforcement schedule.
Which of the elements below are recommended when teaching a behavior chain? Select all that apply. - ANSWER Provide prompt and prompt-fading procedures.
Assess what steps are already in the learner's repertoire.
Provide arbitrary reinforcers for each step.
Which of the statements below is accurate? Select all that apply. - ANSWER Only the final step in a behavior chain produces the terminal outcome. In this case, all steps in the behavior chain are maintained by the same terminal outcome.
Even though a behavior chain consists of a sequence of behaviors, a sequence of behaviors is not necessarily a behavior chain.
In a behavior chain, each behavior produces a conditioned reinforcer that
also functions as the SD for the next behavior.
Which of the responses below may be a free operant? Select all that apply. - ANSWER Requesting information from an adult.
Writing a manuscript.
Self-stimulatory behavior that is maintained by automatic reinforcement.
Which of the results below is associated with a free operant? - ANSWER On average 6 occurrences per minute.
Which of the following statements is an appropriate description of a fluency-building program? Select all that apply. - ANSWER Fluent performance is related to improved maintenance and generalization.
Fluency building should be incorporated after a skill has been established.
Fluency building targets both accuracy and speed.
If the goal for fluent naming is 100 items per minute, considering the learner can only label 30 items, which criterion is the most appropriate for now? -
Capitalize on learner's motivation and conduct instruction when motivation is demonstrated.
Ensure responses produce reinforcement.
