During discrete trial training (DTT), the component that occurs between the learner's response and the next trial is called the:
Answer: Intertrial interval (ITI)
The intertrial interval (ITI) is the brief pause between the consequence of one trial and the SD of the next.
A therapist teaches a child to tie shoes by first reinforcing putting on the shoe, then reinforcing that step plus pulling the laces, continuing until the full chain is complete. This is:
Answer: Forward chaining
Forward chaining teaches the first step first, adding subsequent steps in order until the full behavior chain is mastered.
An RBT is teaching a student to request items using a picture exchange card. To reduce dependence on the instructor's physical presence, the RBT gradually increases the distance between the student and the PECS book. This exemplifies:
Answer: Systematic prompt fading
Systematic prompt fading involves gradually reducing the level of assistance provided to promote independent responding.
Which differential reinforcement procedure involves reinforcing the absence of the target problem behavior during a specified interval?
Answer: DRO (differential reinforcement of other behavior)
DRO delivers reinforcement when the problem behavior does NOT occur during a defined interval.
An antecedent intervention that makes a problem behavior irrelevant by providing noncontingent access to preferred items is called:
Answer: Noncontingent reinforcement (NCR)
Noncontingent reinforcement (NCR) provides reinforcers on a fixed- or variable-time schedule, independent of behavior, reducing the motivation to engage in problem behavior.
Shaping is best defined as:
Answer: Reinforcing successive approximations toward a target behavior
Shaping uses differential reinforcement of successive approximations to develop a new behavior or topography that does not yet exist in the learner's repertoire.
Natural environment teaching (NET) differs from discrete trial training (DTT) in that NET:
Answer: Embeds learning opportunities within naturally occurring activities and the learner's motivation
NET capitalizes on the learner's natural motivation and embeds learning within everyday activities, promoting generalization.
