condition - ANSWER- circumstances in which skill is used, how we will make the
behavior happen naturally - how the learner will know when to respond and if they will
interact with reinforcement or not
- most often called the discriminative stimulus (SD) - means that the response had been
reinforced in the past; this is a cue for the learner that reinforcement may be available
again
change - ANSWERspecific behaviors to be taught in objective, complete, and clear
terms - if it's a chain, break the complex skill down into small, discrete, specific steps
(task analysis)
criteria - ANSWERproficiency of targeted skill across a time period that demonstrates
mastery
SD - ANSWER- a good SD is apart of the goal itself, must be clear, and distinguishable
from other stimuli in the environment

try to include the natural SD
definition of the skill - ANSWER- objective - observable and measurable; a verb

subjective adverbs/adjective
- clear - everyone that reads the definition will know what the definition means, and

defined
- complete - includes examples of what the behaviors does and does not look like
objectivity comes from - ANSWERclearly stating goals
criteria for mastery typically includes - ANSWER- the level of proficiency desired

skill reliably - a trial is one opportunity for the behavior/skill to be demonstrated

time, responses/stimuli
