BCABA Stimulus Control and Antecedent Interventions 2

Question 1

Least-to-most (LTM) prompting involves:

Accepted Answer

Beginning with the least intrusive prompt and increasing intrusiveness only if the learner does not respond correctly

Answer

Beginning with the most intrusive prompt and systematically fading to less intrusive prompts

Answer

Providing all prompt levels simultaneously and then fading them together

Answer

Delivering prompts based solely on a fixed time schedule

Question 2

Time delay procedures are used primarily to:

Accepted Answer

Transfer stimulus control from prompts to natural cues by inserting a pause between the SD and the prompt

Answer

Delay the delivery of reinforcement to strengthen the learner's tolerance for waiting

Answer

Gradually fade antecedent stimuli across multiple sessions

Answer

Increase the latency requirement between the SD presentation and the acceptable response

Question 3

Errorless learning procedures are designed to:

Accepted Answer

Minimize errors during skill acquisition by using intrusive prompts from the outset of training

Answer

Teach learners to tolerate making errors without displaying frustration

Answer

Shape behavior through successive approximations with natural error correction

Answer

Allow errors to occur and then implement extinction following incorrect responses

Question 4

Stimulus fading involves:

Accepted Answer

Gradually altering the physical dimensions of the antecedent stimulus to transfer stimulus control to the natural cue

Answer

Systematically removing response prompts across successive training trials

Answer

Presenting stimuli on an increasingly intermittent schedule to promote maintenance

Answer

Replacing one conditioned reinforcer with another over the course of training

Question 5

A response prompt is best defined as:

Accepted Answer

A supplemental stimulus added to the training context that directly cues the desired response

Answer

An alteration made to the target antecedent stimulus to make the correct response more salient

Answer

A reinforcer delivered immediately contingent on the correct response to strengthen it

Answer

A change in the behavioral topography that makes the response physically easier to emit

Question 6

Transfer of stimulus control refers to:

Accepted Answer

Shifting control over a response from supplemental prompts to the natural discriminative stimulus

Answer

Moving a learner from a continuous to an intermittent reinforcement schedule

Answer

Teaching a behavior in one setting and observing it spontaneously in a novel setting

Answer

Replacing one discriminative stimulus with a more salient stimulus during training

Question 7

Most-to-least (MTL) prompting is most appropriate when:

Accepted Answer

The target behavior involves safety risks or the learner has a history of reinforced errors

Answer

The learner has a well-established history of responding independently to similar tasks

Answer

The target behavior has already been partially acquired across multiple settings

Answer

Generalization across settings has already been demonstrated and only fluency is needed
