Answers
t/f
When using the multiple-opportunity method of assessment during assessment of a
task analysis, there is 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 procedure
is the most effective method of chaining.
✓ ~~~ False
Assume you are working with a student who really likes McDonald's. When you are
out in the community with this student and you drive past a McDonald' s, the student
always begins to whine about going to McDonald' s. If you say, "No," the student
begins to cry. If you still say, "No," the student begins to kick and scream and whack
his head on the car window. Assume you want to break this inappropriate chain of
behaviors by removing the initial SD and substituting an alternative SD. What would
be one way of doing so?
✓ ~~~ 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?"
Sadie goes to an aerobics class on M, W, and F (on a good week!). The aerobic
routines they do have many, many steps and constitute behavioral chain. The
aerobics teacher has everyone perform one step of the routine multiple times and
asks, " Does everyone get it?" The students all yell, "Yep!" Then, she says, " Adding
on!" and she shows them another step. Once they have that step down, she has
them do the first step, followed by the second step. Then she adds on again. This
process is repeated until the students are doing a very long, complex routine by the
end of the hour. What teaching procedure does Sadie's aerobics instructor use?
✓ ~~~ Forward chaining
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
,A task analysis for one person can look completely different from a task analysis for
another person, even if it for the same skill.
✓ ~~~ true
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 to be trained.
If you are teaching a student to make a peanut butter sandwich, which of the
following represents a total-task chaining approach?
Having the trainer model all steps of the task on all occasions.
Having the student complete all steps of the task, while the trainer provides the
necessary level of prompt at each step.
Having the student complete the first step (getting out the bread) and the trainer
completing the remaining steps. When the student has mastered that step, the
student completes the first two steps while the trainer completes the rest. And son
onâ ¦
Having the trainer complete all steps except the last one (putting the bread together).
The student puts the bread together himself. When he has mastered that step, the
trainer completes all but the last two steps, and the student completes those. And so
on.
✓ ~~~ Having the student complete all steps of the task, while the trainer provides the
necessary level of prompt at each step.
t/f
In backward chaining, the individual learns to complete the steps of a task in the
correct order.
✓ ~~~ True
t/f
Every step in a behavior chain serves two functions: an SD for the subsequent step
and as a conditioned reinforcer for the preceding step.
✓ ~~~ True
t/f
A task analysis for one person can look completely different from a task analysis for
another person, even if it for the same skill.
✓ ~~~ True
One advantage to backward chaining procedure is:
, It doesn't t rely on reinforcement procedures like the other chaining methods.
It is the only chaining procedure in which the student gets reinforced for completing
the task.
It is the chaining procedure that results in the most immediate access to the
reinforcer following the display of a correct response in the behavioral chain.
It doesn't t rely on prompting procedures like the other chaining methods.
✓ ~~~ It is the chaining procedure that results in the most immediate access to the
reinforcer following the display of a correct response in the behavioral chain.
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 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 behavioral chains.
✓ ~~~ False
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
Mr. Worms is teaching an adult (Sandie) who lives in his group home to make
macaroni and cheese from a box. Mr. Worms prompts Sandie to do all steps of the
task using full physical prompts, except for the last step, which is to serve the
macaroni and cheese on a plate. For this step, Mr. Worms is using a most-to-least
prompting sequence. When Sandie has mastered that skill, Mr. Worms plans to have
Sandie do the stirring and the serving (the last two steps of the task). What
procedure is Mr. Worms using?
