Which instructional arrangement breaks a complex skill into sequential steps that are taught and reinforced individually?
Answer: Task analysis
Task analysis divides a complex behavior chain into discrete, teachable steps, allowing each step to be prompted, practiced, and reinforced independently.
In a behavior support plan, what is the purpose of defining a 'mastery criterion'?
Answer: To specify the performance standard that signals readiness to advance or fade support
A mastery criterion establishes the objective benchmark (e.g., 80% correct across 3 sessions) that determines when a skill is considered learned and programming can progress.
What is 'stimulus control' in the context of behavior support programming?
Answer: A condition in which a specific antecedent reliably evokes a behavior
Stimulus control exists when a behavior consistently occurs in the presence of a particular discriminative stimulus and not in its absence.
A behavior consultant recommends embedding skill trials within natural routines rather than massed discrete trials. This approach is best described as what?
Answer: Naturalistic teaching
Naturalistic teaching embeds instruction in everyday activities and interactions, promoting generalization and functional use of skills in real-world contexts.
Which type of chaining strategy teaches the last step of a task analysis first and works backward to the first step?
Answer: Backward chaining
Backward chaining teaches the final step first so the learner experiences task completion immediately, then progressively adds earlier steps until the entire chain is learned.
A behavior support plan includes 'behavior momentum' as an antecedent strategy. What does this involve?
Answer: Presenting a series of high-probability requests before a low-probability request
Behavioral momentum uses compliance with easy, preferred requests to build a 'momentum' of responding that increases the likelihood of compliance with harder demands.
