Question 1

________________ is a chaining procedure in which you use prompting and fading to teach the first behavior in the chain first.&#10;A)forward chaining&#10;B)backward chaining&#10;C)total task presentation&#10;D)all of these

Accepted Answer

Forward chaining is a method used to teach complex behaviors step by step, starting with the first behavior in the chain. This procedure involves prompting and fading to teach the individual each step of the chain until the entire behavior is learned. Backward chaining and total task presentation are other chaining procedures that involve teaching the last behavior in the chain first or presenting the entire task at once, respectively.

Question 2

You can conduct a task analysis by: A)observing a competent person engaging in the task B)asking an expert who performs the task well C)performing the task yourself and recording each of the S^Ds and responses. D)all of these

Accepted Answer

The best way to conduct a task analysis is to use a combination of methods. Observing a competent person engaging in the task helps to identify the steps involved and any potential challenges. Asking an expert who performs the task well can provide insight into best practices and strategies. Finally, performing the task yourself and recording each of the steps and responses helps to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the task. Using a combination of these methods ensures that the task analysis is thorough and accurate.

Question 3

Which procedure is used to teach a person to engage in the sequence of behaviors involved in a stimulus-response chain?&#10;A)forward chaining&#10;B)backward chaining&#10;C)total task presentation&#10;D)all of these

Accepted Answer

All three procedures can be used to teach a person to engage in the sequence of behaviors involved in a stimulus-response chain.

Forward chaining involves teaching the beginning of the sequence first and then adding the next steps in sequence gradually.

Backward chaining involves teaching the last step of the sequence first and then adding the previous steps in sequence gradually.

Total task presentation involves teaching all the steps of the sequence simultaneously.

Therefore, the best answer is D: all of these.

Question 4

______________ is a chaining procedure in which the chain of behaviors is taught as a single unit.&#10;A)forward chaining&#10;B)backward chaining&#10;C)total task presentation&#10;D)all of these

Accepted Answer

Total task presentation is a chaining procedure in which the entire sequence of behaviors is taught all at once, as a single unit. This can be contrasted with forward chaining, in which the first behavior in the chain is taught first, and then subsequent behaviors are added step by step, or with backward chaining, in which the last behavior in the chain is taught first, and then previous behaviors are added step by step.

Question 5

________________ is a chaining procedure in which you use prompting and fading to teach the last behavior in the chain first.&#10;A)forward chaining&#10;B)backward chaining&#10;C)total task presentation&#10;D)all of these

Accepted Answer

Backward chaining starts with teaching the last behavior in the chain first and then systematically works backward through the steps until the entire chain is complete. This method often uses prompting and fading to teach each step. The other options listed, forward chaining and total task presentation, start at the beginning of the chain and work forward through the steps.
