Question 1

Which prompting strategy begins with the most intrusive prompt and systematically fades toward less intrusive prompts over successive trials?

Accepted Answer

Most-to-least prompting

Answer

Least-to-most prompting

Answer

Simultaneous prompting

Answer

Graduated guidance

Question 2

In total task chaining, the instructor:

Accepted Answer

Prompts and reinforces every step of the chain during each teaching trial

Answer

Teaches only the last step of the chain until mastery before adding earlier steps

Answer

Teaches only the first step until mastery before progressing forward

Answer

Selects only the most difficult steps to target each session

Question 3

Compared to massed practice, distributed practice trials are generally associated with:

Accepted Answer

Better generalization and long-term maintenance of skills

Answer

Faster initial skill acquisition

Answer

Higher rates of problem behavior during instruction

Answer

Greater reinforcer satiation

Question 4

Which error correction procedure involves modeling the correct response, guiding the learner to produce it, presenting a distractor trial, and then re-presenting the original SD?

Accepted Answer

Four-step error correction

Answer

Errorless learning

Answer

Simultaneous prompting

Answer

Time delay procedure

Question 5

In discrete trial training, a 'transfer trial' is used to:

Accepted Answer

Transfer stimulus control from a prompted response to an unprompted response

Answer

Move a mastered skill from the clinic to the natural environment

Answer

Shift delivery from primary to secondary reinforcers

Answer

Introduce a new target skill following mastery of a prerequisite

Question 6

Multiple exemplar training (MET) is primarily implemented to promote:

Accepted Answer

Generalization across varied stimuli and response forms

Answer

Faster mastery of individual target behaviors

Answer

Higher rates of correct responding within a single session

Answer

Accurate interval-by-interval data collection
