The VB-MAPP is primarily used to:
Answer: Assess verbal behavior and language milestones in learners with language delays
The VB-MAPP assesses verbal operants and related skills based on Skinner's analysis of verbal behavior, and guides curriculum development for learners with ASD.
Functional Communication Training (FCT) is best described as:
Answer: Replacing problem behavior with a communicative response serving the same function
FCT replaces problem behavior by teaching a functionally equivalent communicative response, effectively providing the same reinforcement with a socially appropriate behavior.
An intraverbal is a verbal operant controlled by:
Answer: A verbal antecedent stimulus from another speaker
Intraverbal responses are evoked by verbal stimuli (another person's words) without a point-to-point correspondence between the stimulus and the response, as in conversation and answering questions.
A mand is distinguished from other verbal operants primarily because it is:
Answer: Under motivating operation control and specifies its own reinforcer
Mands are verbal requests controlled by a motivating operation (deprivation or aversive stimulation) and are reinforced by the specific item, action, or information specified by the response.
Self-management programs in ABA typically teach learners to:
Answer: Monitor and reinforce their own behavior independently
Self-management involves teaching individuals to observe, record, and consequate their own behavior, reducing dependence on external behavior change agents.
In pure imitation training, reinforcement is delivered only when the learner's response:
Answer: Exactly matches the topography of the modeled behavior
Pure imitation training reinforces only topographically exact matches to the model, establishing tight stimulus control by the model's behavior.
The ABLLS-R is best described as:
Answer: An assessment, curriculum guide, and skills-tracking system for learners with language delays
The ABLLS-R (Assessment of Basic Language and Learning Skills – Revised) evaluates hundreds of skills across multiple domains and provides a framework for curriculum development and progress monitoring.
