Behavioral Skills Training (BST) is a staff training methodology that includes which four components?
Answer: Instructions, modeling, rehearsal, and feedback
BST uses instructions (tell), modeling (show), rehearsal (practice), and feedback (correct and reinforce) to teach behavioral skills effectively.
Chaining procedures are used when:
Answer: A complex behavior must be broken into steps and each step must be individually taught and linked together
Chaining builds complex multi-step behavior sequences by teaching each component step and linking them together in the correct order.
Social skills training in ABA typically uses which combination of strategies?
Answer: Instruction, modeling, behavioral rehearsal, feedback, and generalization programming
Evidence-based social skills training combines teaching (instruction), demonstration (modeling), practice (rehearsal), corrective feedback, and planned generalization activities.
The goal of maintenance programming in ABA is to ensure that:
Answer: Previously acquired behaviors continue to occur at appropriate levels after intensive training has ended
Maintenance programming ensures that skills acquired during intensive training continue to occur after training conditions change, such as when reinforcement is thinned or training ends.
Which ABA procedure involves teaching a learner to monitor and evaluate their own behavior and deliver self-reinforcement?
Answer: Self-management
Self-management teaches the learner to observe, record, and evaluate their own behavior and to deliver reinforcement contingent on meeting a behavioral criterion.
When designing a reinforcement system, pairing a new conditioned reinforcer (such as a token) with an established primary reinforcer is necessary because:
Answer: Tokens must acquire reinforcing value through association with meaningful backup reinforcers before they can function to reinforce behavior
Tokens are neutral stimuli that must be repeatedly paired with backup reinforcers (primary or established conditioned reinforcers) to acquire conditioned reinforcing value.
