Skill Acquisition Quiz 3

What are the 3 distinct steps in Discrete Trial Teaching (DTT)?

• Read a book, take a quiz, watch a movie

• Present the stimulus, pause for the response, reward

• Ask a question, wait for the answer, provide feedback

• Show a video, discuss, practice in pairs

What is the purpose of Errorless Learning?

• To ignore errors and focus on positive reinforcement

• To prevent or minimize the learner's mistakes during discrimination training

• To encourage making mistakes during training

• To confuse the learner with contradictory information

What is the 'End' step in Error Correction Procedures?

• End the trial once the learner makes an error and go back to the beginning

• End the session immediately

• End the relationship with the learner

• End the day without providing any feedback

What is the main aim of Incidental Teaching?

• To focus only on structured teaching methods

• To discourage generalization

• To promote generalization

• To limit learning opportunities

What is the focus of Pivotal Response Training (PRT)?

• Developing pivotal behaviors that lead to changes in other unlearned behaviors

• Following a strict curriculum

• Developing specific, individual behaviors

• Focusing on academic skills only

What is a Behavioral Cusp?

• A behavior that has consequences beyond the change itself

• A behavior that is irrelevant

• A behavior that has no consequences

• A behavior that is easy to change

What is Task Analysis used for?

• To make tasks more complicated

• To skip steps in a task

• To break down activities into smaller steps

• To confuse the learner

What is Chaining in the context of Skill Acquisition?

• Linking behaviors in a sequence where each provides a cue for the next

• Randomly selecting behaviors

• Breaking the chain of behaviors

• Ignoring the sequence of behaviors

What is the goal of Shaping?

• To confuse the learner

• To maintain the current behavior

• To establish a target behavior through successive approximation

• To eliminate all behaviors

What is Discrimination Training?

• Reinforcing a behavior in the presence of all stimuli

• Punishing all behaviors

• Ignoring all behaviors

• Reinforcing a behavior in the presence of one stimulus but not others
