EDF 6221 Test 2 Questions And 100% CorrectAnswers Latest Update
Task analysis - ANSWER The process and product of reducing a complex behavior and
sequences of behavior to their component elements
What is a task analysis used for? - ANSWER -Determining the sequence of behaviors an
individual must perform to complete a given task
-Teaching complex behaviors such as physical movements or academic tasks
-Reinforcing small steps toward attainment of the final performance
-Giving feedback on the details of a complex behavior
Task Analysis" our next acronym, - ANSWER 1. Identify the terminal objective: What
skills or performance will be taught? What is the end behavior?
2. Establish criterion for mastery: What is the performance, under what condition and to
what criterion?
3. State any prerequisite skills: Where is the learner currently
4. Consider the dimension concerns: How are we measuring?
5. Identify all steps: What needs to happen? Is this list universal? Is the sequence
proper?
6. Add necessary props/materials
Shaping - ANSWER Training new behaviors by reinforcing successive approximations to
a pre-determined target or terminal performance
When to use shaping? - ANSWER When there is a great disparity between the operant
repertoire level and the target behavior
, Successive approximations - ANSWER The component parts of a task (resulting from a
task analysis) that resemble the terminal behavior along some meaningful dimension
and that, when properly sequenced, lead to exhibition of the terminal behavior
-Initial and intermediate behaviors leading to the terminal behavior
Shifting criterion - ANSWER Gradual increase of the criterion for reinforcement.
Sometimes called changing criterion
When do you move the criterion? - ANSWER When the student can perform the
successive approximation on a variable schedule of reinforcement
Shaping behaviors involves the reinforcement of ___ ___ of a terminal behavior -
ANSWER successive approximations
Behavioral chain - ANSWER A sequence of stimuli and responses. Each response
produces a change in the environment that acts as a discriminative stimulus for the next
response
Principle of Behaviour: Behaviours link in chains, where a response has been a
reinforcer for a previous response, and for an Sd for a following one
Behavioural chaining: Once a response occurs in a sequence reinforce it to establish it
as a complex behaviour. Chain responses to build up new ones and to eliminate
maladaptive ones.
Forward chaining: The chain responses are initially taught in forward order, that is first
to last
Task presentation chaining - ANSWER Simultaneous training of all links in a behavioral
chain. Use for short, simple tasks. Most difficult to implement
Backward chaining - ANSWER The terminal response (target response) in the chain is
