Chaining, Shaping, and Prompting

Which pivotal behaviors should be assessed prior to using a shaping procedure?

It is better to start with fewer items in a TA in order to avoid confusion when training BIs.

Methods for developing a TA include: 1) observing an already [blank_start]competent[blank_end] individual perform the task 2) consulting with [blank_start]experts[blank_end] 3) performing the task [blank_start]yourself[blank_end] while writing down the sequence of behaviors

Which type of mastery level assessment was used in the following: Learner was told to brush his teeth. Responses were marked only as correct or incorrect using a task analysis. When there was a 12 second delay, the assessment ended and was re-presented to provide further opportunities.

It is okay to use prompting when using a multiple opportunity method of assessing mastery level, as long as a modeling prompt is used.

Which type of assessment of mastery level can skew the baseline in a research study?

Which type of chaining method(s) is/are best to use when the learner is able to complete half or more of the steps in the task analysis independently?

Percentile schedules may be used in the following chaining method(s):

To prevent early behaviors in a chain from weakening, use

A child sometimes performs a step in laundry task analysis correctly, but often responds incorrectly. The BCBA should first consider

The following are dimensions of a behavior that can be shaped:

Shaping criterion should generally be increased by

Which schedule of reinforcement is best to use when creating a shaping program that will be implemented by a BI?

The transfer of stimulus control from the prompt to the initial SD is called [blank_start]fading[blank_end] .

Physical guidance is an example of a [blank_start]response[blank_end] prompt.

If you are changing the size, shape or color of the SD you are using a [blank_start]redundancy[blank_end] cue.

Rules are less intrusive than modeling.

The typical response time allowed for the client after being prompted is (spell out the number) [blank_start]three[blank_end] seconds.

Fading and pairing of prompts require the use of DRA.

You want to see a behavior evoked at least (write out the number) [blank_start]two[blank_end] times consecutively before fading a prompt.

A time delay is the time

Which type of time delay is best to use in practice as a supervisor?

In the first several trials of a fading procedure, there is a zero second delay between the presentation of the SD and the prompt. They are using

If a therapist is keeping their hands hovering over the child at the beginning of a trial for changing clothes, they are using [blank_start]graduated[blank_end] [blank_start]guidance[blank_end] .
