What is discrimination in behavior analysis?

• When a response remains in an individual’s repertoire over time

• When a limited number of stimuli occasion a response

• When a variety of stimuli occasion a certain response

• When a behavior specialist is teaching their client to put away their laundry

Which of the following is an example of discrimination in everyday context?

• Greeting people in a variety of settings, times, and people

• A child says “daddy” when they see their father but does not say “daddy” when they see other men

• A person learns how to ride their bike in their childhood and continues to maintain that skill into adulthood

• A client is taught to read using evidence based interventions, and then maintains the ability to read over many years

What is generalization in behavior analysis?

• Occurs across different individuals, environments, and times

• Occurs when a limited number of stimuli occasion a response

• Following the removal of an intervention, the extent to which a response remains in an individual’s repertoire over time

• When a variety of stimuli occasion a certain response

Which of the following is an example of generalization in clinical context?

• A BCBA candidate is learning to discriminate between the two types of operant conditioning

• A direct support professional is conducting a functional communication training with a client at a residential facility

• A client is taught to read using evidence based interventions, and then maintains the ability to read over many years

• A person learns how to ride their bike in their childhood and continues to maintain that skill into adulthood

What is maintenance in behavior analysis?

• When a variety of stimuli occasion a certain response

• Occurs across different individuals, environments, and times

• Following the removal of an intervention, the extent to which a response remains in an individual’s repertoire over time

• Occurs when a limited number of stimuli occasion a response

Why is discrimination important in learning?

• It is the reason why the human species have survived and been able to thrive in different environments

• It is the reason why the human species have survived and been able to thrive in different environments

• It promotes further learning opportunities since basic skills can be taught, mastered and built upon

• It enables the learner to contact reinforcement

What is the reason why generalization is a critical element of learning?

• It promotes further learning opportunities since basic skills can be taught, mastered and built upon

• It enables the learner to contact reinforcement

• It is the reason why the human species have survived and been able to thrive in different environments

• It is the reason why the human species have survived and been able to thrive in different environments

Why is maintenance of learned skills important?

• It is the reason why the human species have survived and been able to thrive in different environments

• It enables the learner to contact reinforcement

• It is absolutely crucial to consider naturally occurring reinforcement in the client’s goal environment when programming

• It promotes further learning opportunities since basic skills can be taught, mastered and built upon

What is the counterpart of discrimination in behavior analysis?

• Operant conditioning

• Maintenance

• Generalization

• Functional communication training
