ABAT ABAT Generalization and Maintenance Strategies 3

Question 1

Which of the following strategies involves teaching in the real-world environment rather than only at a desk?

Accepted Answer

Naturalistic or incidental teaching

Answer

Naturalistic or incidental teaching embeds skill instruction into everyday routines and environments, which directly promotes generalization and maintenance.

Question 2

Booster sessions are used in ABA primarily to:

Accepted Answer

Re-strengthen skills showing maintenance failure

Answer

Booster sessions provide brief, targeted retraining for skills that have declined during maintenance probes, restoring them to mastery levels.

Question 3

When probing for generalization, the technician should:

Accepted Answer

Present novel stimuli without providing reinforcement or prompts for correct responses

Answer

Generalization probes use novel, untrained stimuli presented without prompts or differential reinforcement to measure true transfer of the skill.

Question 4

Teaching a learner to request items from multiple people (e.g., parent, teacher, sibling) is an example of programming generalization across:

Accepted Answer

People

Answer

Ensuring a skill is performed with multiple individuals addresses generalization across people, which is a key dimension of generalization in ABA.

Question 5

A 'generalization map' or 'universe of application' helps the ABAT by:

Accepted Answer

Defining all the conditions under which the target behavior should eventually occur

Answer

A generalization map outlines the full range of people, settings, stimuli, and responses within which the target skill should occur, guiding systematic generalization programming.
