t/f Changes in behavior of people not directly treated by an intervention as a function
of treatment contingencies applied to other people is known as generalization across
subjects
~~~ True
A generalization map involves the combination generalized treatment effects of
across time, across ...
Mr. Worms is teaching an adult Sandie
✓ ~~~ backward chaining
One advantage to the procedure being used by Worms is that
✓ ~~~ Sandie will get immediate access to the reinforce for completing the chain of
behaviors
Ms. March is teaching Matthew to do his laundry. She has written a task analysis for
doing laundry, which consists of 36 steps.
✓ ~~~ This procedure is likely to make each training session quite long.
Assume you are working with a student who really likes McDonald's.
✓ ~~~ Avoid driving by McDonald's whenever possible. Instead drive past Wendy's
and give the cue, "Would you like to stop and get something to eat."
Before you use a chaining procedure, it is recommended that you task analyze the
skill to be taught. What does it mean to task analyze a skill?
✓ ~~~ Make a sequential list of all the smaller substeps of the task analyze the skill to
be taught.
If you are teaching a student to make a peanut butter sandwich, which of the
following represents a total-task chaining approach?
✓ ~~~ Having the student complete all steps of the task, while the trainer provides the
necessary level of prompt at each step.
One advantage to backward chaining procedure is
✓ ~~~ It is the chaining procedure that results in the most immediate access to the
reinforce following the display of a correct response in the behavioral chain.
Sadie goes to an aerobic class on M, W, F
✓ ~~~ forward chaining
T/F Every step in a behavior chain serves 2 functions: an SD for the subsequent step
and as a conditioned reinforce for the preceding step.
✓ ~~~ False
,T/F A behavior chain with a limited hold results in performance that is both accurate
and fluent
✓ ~~~ True
T/F There are only a few skills in every day life that are considered a behavioral
chain
✓ ~~~ False
T/F If a person has a number of behaviors already in their repertoire, chaining can be
used to put these behaviors together in unique sequences in order to teach them a
new behavior.
✓ ~~~ True
T/F In order to construct a task analysis, it is acceptable and valid to perform the
behavior yourself and write down the steps to the skill as you perform them.
✓ ~~~ True
T/F Once you have developed a task analysis, you should not change the sequence
of steps, add steps, or remove steps in the analysis. This invalidates the task
analysis.
✓ ~~~ False
T/F A task analysis for one person can look completely different from the task
analysis for another person, even if it is for the same skill.
✓ ~~~ True
T/F The single-opportunity method of assessing a person's skills on a task analysis
means that they only get one chance to demonstrate the skill before instruction
begins; whereas with the multiple-opportunity method of assessment, a person's
skills are assessed multiple times before instruction begins.
✓ ~~~ False
T/F When using the multiple-opportunity method of assessment during assessment
of a task analysis, there is a greater risk for co-mingling of assessment and
instruction than there is for the single-opportunity method of assessment.
✓ ~~~ True
T/F The research literature has repeatedly shown that the total-task chaining
procedures is the most effective method of chaining.
✓ ~~~ False
, T/F In backward chaining, the individual learns to complete the steps of a task in
reverse order
✓ ~~~ False
Which of the following is not associated effects of extinction?
✓ ~~~ Stable Responding
_____________is a technical term used to identify the procedure of withholding

✓ ~~~ Extinction
Which of the following statements is not a common misuse of the term extinction?
✓ ~~~ Withholding of reinforcers that maintain the behavior

✓ ~~~ Extinction of behavior maintained by positive reinforcement
When Bobby was given a worksheet in class, he screamed and crawled under his
desk. Which of the following extinction procedures is the most appropriate choice?
✓ ~~~ Extinction of behavior maintained by negative reinforcement
Susie spent most of the day sitting on her bedroom floor rocking back and forth.
Which of the following extinction procedures is the most appropriate choice?
✓ ~~~ Extinction of behavior maintained by automatic reinforcement
Which statement correctly states the definition of extinction?
✓ ~~~ Extinction is a procedure that provides zero probability of reinforcement.
Which statement correctly defines extinction burst?
✓ ~~~ An immediate increase in the frequency of a target behavior after the removal
of the reinforce.
A schedule of intermittent reinforcement is likely to increase the
✓ ~~~ resistance to extinction
Resistance to extinction is ____________when extinction is carried out under high
motivation than under low.
