responding exemplifies:

Answer 5

Discrimination

Question 6

Answer 6

Simultaneous discrimination

Question 7

How are items presented in successive discrimination training?

Answer 7

Each item is presented one-at-a-time, interspersing items across trials

Question 8

This procedure is used to alter the function of an antecedent stimulus; it is initially an S-delta, but becomes a discriminative stimulus. To
achieve this, target responses occurring in the presence of the target antecedent are reinforced, and target responses that occur in the
presence of other antecedent stimuli are not reinforced.

Answer 8

Discrimination training

Question 18

A trainer says, “Do this”, and claps her hands. The student claps his hands. The trainer then reinforces with praise by enthusiastically saying,
“Great job clapping!” The trainer then says, “do this”, and raises both arms over her head. If the student delays, the trainer lightly prompts the
student’s arms up over his head, and then when the student complies, the trainer says, simply, “good”. If the student refuses, the trainer
moves on to the next action. This is an example of:

Answer 18

Imitation training

Question 19

Mary just received a computer tablet to use with her students. Jimmy does not know how to use a computer tablet so Mary sets up a session
to model its use. She sits at a table with Jimmy and while extending her index finger to point down toward the tablet, and says, “Do this.”
Jimmy immediately extends his index finger and points down toward the tablet. Mary smiles and enthusiastically says “yay!” This is an
example of:

Answer 19

Fine motor imitation

Question 20

Which of the following statements is true about compliance?
X= It is important to teach compliance to a learner solely for developing a generalized compliance repertoire
Y= Compliance training can be used to expand the leaner’s repertoire to aid in teaching self-care skills such as hand washing

Answer 20

Y only

Question 21

Joni works with Mitchell on match-to-sample skills. She presents three CD covers on a table from left to right: Pet Sounds by The Beach
Boys, Rubber Soul by The Beatles, and Synchronicity by The Police. Joni presents the array in this order across all three trials. She then
hands him a comparison stimulus, a second Synchronicity CD cover, and says, “Match”. Mitchell matches the CD correctly. Joni gives
Mitchell a “high five” and says “you rock!” She does this 5 times in a row, and each time he matches the Synchronicity CD to the correct
sample. If you were Joni’s supervisor, which modification would you advise her to make to increase the likelihood that Mitchell actually
matching to sample?
X = Do not use CDs since they are too complex a sample stimulus
Y = Provide various comparative stimuli on a random basis
Z = Mix the order of the sample stimuli in the array

Answer 21

Y and Z only

Question 22

Eddie has never been in an instructional setting before. Eddie has an impoverished vocal repertoire and can only utter a few sounds. His
teacher would like to increase Eddie’s rate and range of utterances, with the goal of teaching Eddie vocal verbal behavior. When his teacher
asks Eddie to go to the task area, Eddie either drops to the ground or runs away. Eddie has participated in essentially zero formal learning
trials. What should Eddie’s teacher focus on at this point?

Answer 22

Teach Eddie compliance to simple requests such as “come here”, “wait”, and “follow me” as prerequisites for participation
in learning sessions

Question 23

When using a match-to-sample procedure in which only two items are presented in any sample array, which of the following is most likely to
cloud our data results?

Answer 23

Student guessing

Question 24

Sarah asks what’s for dinner, and Mom tells her “baked chicken, mashed potatoes and peas”. As Sarah sits at the table, she screams “I hate
peas!” Mom says “Thank you for joining us for dinner Sarah.” Can you please pass me the peas?” Sarah again says “I hate peas” and adds
“Peas are gross” as she passes the peas to her mom. Mom thanks Sarah for passing the peas and offers Sarah some chicken. Sarah takes
the chicken and says “Potatoes please.” Mom passes the potatoes and mentions that she made them super creamy, just the way Sarah likes
them. Sarah eats some of her chicken and two helpings of potatoes. Mom tells Sarah that as soon as the table is cleared and the dishes are
done she can play video games. Sarah picks up her plate and cup and places them in the kitchen sink. As she clears her mom’s plate and
cup, Sarah says “There’s no way I’ll ever eat peas. Peas are stupid!” Mom thanks Sarah for clearing the table and turns on the video game.
Sarah obtaining access to playing video games, only after clearing the table is an example of:
