Each of the following is an example of a behavior except:
a) Mowing the lawn
b) Brushing your teeth
c) Blinking your eye
d) Writing your name
c) Blinking your eye
A behavior chain with a limited hold means:
a) The number of steps in the chain is limited.
b) The learner must "hold" his/her responses for a specified period of time.
c) The entire chain or steps within the chain must be completed in a given period of time.
d) Accuracy of the performance of steps is not important.
c) The entire chain or steps within the chain must be completed in a given period of time.
Behavior chains and chaining procedures are important because:
a) There are many behaviors that are considered behavior chains, and these behaviors lead to more independence in life.
b) Chaining can be combined with many other teaching procedures so that behaviors can be taught in a variety of contexts.
c) Chaining is an efficient training procedure-it can be used to combine already existing repertoires of behavior into new behaviors.
d) All of these
d) All of these
How are forward and backward chaining different?
a) Forward chaining means the learner learns the steps to the skill in the correct order and backward chaining means the learner learns the steps in the reverse order.
b) Forward chaining means the learner learns the first step first in the sequence and backward chaining means the learner learns the last behavior in the sequence first (but the steps are still learned in the correct sequence).
c) Forward chaining is a much quicker way to learn a task than backward chaining.
d) None of these answer choices accurately differentiates between forward and backward chaining.
b) Forward chaining means the learner learns the first step first in the sequence and backward chaining means the learner learns the last behavior in the sequence first (but the steps are still learned in the correct sequence).
If you want to create a task analysis for a behavior you have no idea how to do yourself, how could you construct it?
a) You could find people who are good at the behavior and ask them how to do it.
b) You could watch people who know how to do the task and observe what they do.
c) You could go to the literature to see if there are any published task analyses of the behavior.
d) All of these.
d) All of these.
What is a risk of choosing the single-opportunity method of assessment for assessing mastery of a task analysis?
a) You may underestimate the learner's abilities.
b) You may inadvertently be teaching the individual the behavior during assessment.
c) You may frustrate the learner because of the time consuming nature of this form of assessment.
d) All of these.
a) You may underestimate the learner's abilities.
Breaking down longer chains into smaller chains and/or skill clusters, teaching each skill cluster, and then chaining each skill cluster is a variation of which form of behavior chaining?
a) Forward chaining
b) Backward chaining
c) Total task chaining
d) Backward chaining with leap aheads
a) Forward chaining
Peer models have been used to teach children with disabilities to perform complex tasks using which form of chaining?
a) Forward chaining
b) Backward chaining
c) Total task chaining
d) Backward chaining with leap aheads
c) Total task chaining
The behavior chain interruption strategy (BCIS) can be used to:
a) Teach a complex new behavior chain.
b) Increase speech, picture communication, and microswitch activation.
c) Replace the initial SDs in a chain.
d) All of these.
b) Increase speech, picture communication, and microswitch activation.
Kara has been learning to board a public bus, put money in the slot, and sit in her seat, waiting for her stop. Then, she pushes the button to indicate when she wants to get off. She has practiced this skill in her small hometown, where there are rarely more than 5 people on the bus. She traveled to Chicago with her parents to visit her aunt. She rode the bus with her parents in Chicago and was unable to do many steps in the chain. For example, she wasn't able to put her money in the slot, and she had difficulty choosing a seat. Her parents noticed that she was very distracted by all the people on the bus, as compared to the few people who are on the bus at home. Which of the following is the most likely reason that Kara wasn't able to perform steps in the chain she had learned so well at home?
a) The SDs on the bus were too similar to SDs on the bus at home, and so they triggered different responses.
b) The steps of the task were different on this bus than on the one at home.
c) There were novel stimuli present in Chicago that weren't present at home and that interfered with Kara's chain.
d) All of these are reasonable explanations for Kara's trouble.
c) There were novel stimuli present in Chicago that weren't present at home and that interfered with Kara's chain.
