Unit 10

Question 1

The RBT teaches ___ of the steps in a task analysis each time the behavior chain is presented with total task presentation.

Answer 1

All

Question 2

If an RBT is teaching a client to prepare a sandwich using a chain procedure and begins by prompting the client to take Out two slices of bread, the first step, but then completes the remaining steps, then the RBT is using a ___ procedure.

Answer 2

Forward chaining

Question 3

An RBT is teaching her client to tie his shoes. Every time, she uses prompting and reinforcement to teach the client to cross the laces, to pull one lace under the crossed laces, to make two loops, to cross the loops, and then to pull the laces tight. This would be an example of ____.

Answer 3

Total task presentation

Question 4

With ___, the links are taught in their natural sequence beginning with the first link.

Answer 4

Forward chaining

Question 5

The goal of a task analysis is to break complex behaviors down into ___.

Answer 5

Teachable units

Question 6

In a chaining procedure, the non-target steps are omitted, completed by the RBT, or by the client through ___ prompting.

Answer 6

Physical

Question 7

Chaining procedures are useful for teaching ___ behaviors with many, smaller, component behaviors.

Answer 7

Complex

Question 8

When a complex behavior consists of a sequence of smaller response units that occur together, the behavior is called a ____.

Answer 8

Behavior chain

Question 9

In ____, the links in the chain are taught in reverse sequence, beginning with the last link in the chain.

Answer 9

Backward chaining

Question 10

With total task presentation, the RBT used ____, providing the least necessary prompt level at each step of the task analysis.

Answer 10

Graduated guidance

Question 11

With forward chaining a ____ is provided after the client successfully completes the targeted step in the chain even if that step is not at the end of the chain.

Answer 11

Reinforcer

Question 12

And RBT is teaching her client to tie his shoes. She begins by teaching the client to cross the laced and delivers a reinforcer. She then physically guided the client through the remaining steps. After the client masters crossing the laces, she begins teaching him to pull one lace under the crossed laces before physically guiding the client through the remaining steps. This would be an example of _____.

Answer 12

Forward chaining

Question 13

In _____, the client moves through all of the steps in a task analysis each time the behavior chain is presented.

Answer 13

Total task presentation

Question 14

An RBT physically guided her client through tying his shoes, but leaves the laces loose at the end and gives the client the opportunity to pull them tight as the last step. Once the client masters pulling the laces tight, the RBT stops guiding shoe tying after making loops with the laces and gives the client the opportunity to pull one loop under the other. This would be an example of ___.

Answer 14

Backward chaining

Question 15

Conducting a ___ is the first step in teaching a client a complex behavior.

Answer 15

Task analysis

Question 16

Behavior chains involve more than one component response, each one called a __.

Answer 16

Link

Question 17

In forward and backward chaining procedures, it is important that only ___ link is taught at a time.

Answer 17

One

Question 18

Identifying the links in a behavior chain by listing the steps for a complex behavior in an ordered sequence is called a ____.

Answer 18

Task analysis

Question 19

The consequence that follows the last link in a behavior chain, whether naturally occurring or contrived, is called the _____.

Answer 19

Terminal reinforcer

Question 20

_____ is a specialized prompting strategy used to train individual links and the sequence in which each link should occur.

Answer 20

Chaining
