Q

Prompt

A

An added stimulus that increases the probability that a person will make the correct response in the presence of a novel stimulus.

2
Q

Tactic #3 in using the stimulus control strategy is to create new stimulus control by temporarily using PROMPTS

A

True

3
Q

Fading

A

Is the temporary use of a prompt to establish a specific discrimination.

You gradually withdraw the prompt.

Your goal is for the person to discriminate without the prompt.

Fading solves a problem that may arise when teaching a discrimination.

The behavior may never occur in the presence of the SD

4
Q

Fading is a particular kind of discrimination training - a kind that involves the use of a prompt.

A

True

5
Q

Programming

A

The temporary use of prompts to establish a generalization. You gradually withdraw the prompts.

Your goal is for the behavior to generalize without the prompts.

6
Q

Programming is necessary when you teach a generalization, but the behavior never occurs in the presence of the novel stimulus.

A

The procedure becomes PROGRAMMING if you reinforce the same behavior in the presence of a series of novel stimuli until it generalizes to other members of the stimulus class.

7
Q

Programming uses prompts to teach generalization to a class of stimuli.

A

True

8
Q

Fading uses prompts to establish a discrimination between two specific stimuli.

A

True

9
Q

Programmed Instruction is a common form of programming.

It consists of a series of statements requiring a written response.

A

True

10
Q

Programmed Instruction requires a WRITTEN RESPONSE.

  • provides IMMEDIATE FEEDBACK on the accuracy of each response.

This feedback may serve as a reinforcement for correct responses.

  • uses SMALL STEPS. The program asks the student to learn only a small amount of new information at one time.
A

True

11
Q

Fading uses an existing SD as a prompt to teach a discrimination.

A

True

12
Q

Programming also uses an existing prompt. It’s goal is to teach a generalization rather than a discrimination.

A

True

13
Q

Shaping involves gradually changing behavior.

The stimulus situation remains the same, but the rules of reinforcement, and therefore the behaviors, are changed.

A

True

14
Q

FADING involves gradually changing the stimulus. The behavior stays the same, but the prompt is gradually withdrawn, and the stimulus situation is changed.

A

True

15
Q

Differential Reinforcement

A

Involves reinforcing one behavior and extinguishing other behaviors in the same situation.
