RBT Generalization and Maintenance

Question 1

What is stimulus generalization?

Accepted Answer

Behavior occurring in the presence of stimuli similar to but different from training stimuli

Answer

Stimulus generalization occurs when a learned behavior occurs in the presence of stimuli that are similar to but not identical to the original training stimulus.

Question 2

Which of the following best describes response generalization?

Accepted Answer

Different responses that produce the same functional outcome

Answer

Response generalization occurs when an individual performs different but functionally equivalent responses that were not specifically trained.

Question 3

What is maintenance in applied behavior analysis?

Accepted Answer

The continuation of a behavior after intervention has been reduced or removed

Answer

Maintenance refers to the persistence of learned behavior over time even after systematic intervention has been faded or discontinued.

Question 4

Multiple exemplar training is used primarily to:

Accepted Answer

Promote generalization by teaching across various examples of a stimulus or response class

Answer

Multiple exemplar training involves teaching a behavior across many different examples or variations to promote generalization to untrained stimuli and responses.

Question 5

Programming common stimuli is a generalization strategy that involves:

Accepted Answer

Incorporating into training the stimuli that are likely to be present in the natural environment

Answer

Programming common stimuli involves including in training the same stimuli that exist in the natural environment to facilitate transfer of skills.
