Question 1

In order to increase their effectiveness,instructions should be:​
A) ​understandable to the learner
B) ​delivered by a credible person
C) ​repeated by the learner
D) ​all of these

Accepted Answer

Instructions should be understandable to the learner, delivered by a credible person, and repeated by the learner in order to increase their effectiveness. When instructions are understandable, learners are able to comprehend and apply the information they receive. When delivered by a credible person, learners are more likely to trust and act on the instructions. Repeating the instructions helps to solidify the information in the learner's mind and increases the likelihood of successful execution. All of these factors together lead to more effective instruction.

Question 2

The components of the behavioral skills training procedure are generally used:​
A) ​together in a training session
B) ​with individuals who have severely limited abilities
C) ​individually to teach different behaviors
D) ​A and B

Accepted Answer

The components of the behavioral skills training procedure (instruction, modeling, rehearsal, feedback) are typically used together in a training session to teach new behaviors or skills. They are not typically used individually for different behaviors and are not limited to individuals with severely limited abilities.

Question 3

Which of the following factors increases the effectiveness of modeling?​
A) ​reinforcement of the model's behavior
B) ​the opportunity for imitation after observing the model
C) ​the use of models who are older than the learners
D) ​A and B

Accepted Answer

Reinforcement of the model's behavior and the opportunity for imitation after observing the model are two key factors that increase the effectiveness of modeling. The use of models who are older than the learners does not necessarily enhance modeling effectiveness. Therefore, options A and B are correct, and option C is incorrect. Hence, Option D (A and B) is the best choice.

Question 4

Which of the following is a component of the behavioral skills training procedure?​
A) ​instructions and modeling
B) ​feedback
C) ​rehearsal
D) ​all of these

Accepted Answer

All of these components (instructions and modeling, feedback, and rehearsal) are essential parts of the behavioral skills training procedure. Instructions and modeling provide a clear demonstration of the desired behavior, feedback helps the individual understand how well they are performing, and rehearsal allows for the individual to practice and improve their skills. Thus, all options listed are components of the behavioral skills training procedure.

Question 5

​Rehearsing the behavior is an important part of behavioral skills training because it:
A) ​demonstrates whether the learner has learned the behavior
B) ​provides the chance for reinforcement of the behavior
C) ​provides the opportunity to correct errors
D) ​all of these

Accepted Answer

Rehearsing the behavior allows the trainer to assess whether the learner has learned the behavior (A), provide reinforcement for correct behavior (B), and correct any errors or mistakes (C), making D the correct answer.

Question 6

A psychologist instructs parents how to deal with their disobedient son,and then the parents practice.Following the rehearsal,the psychologist praises them for what they did correctly and gives them further instruction for things they did incorrectly.Delivering praise and further instruction following rehearsal is referred to as:​
A) ​evaluation
B) ​feedback
C) ​explanation
D) ​analysis

Accepted Answer

Feedback is the act of providing information to an individual or group regarding their performance or behavior. In this scenario, the psychologist is providing feedback to the parents by praising them for things they did correctly and giving them further instruction for things they did incorrectly. Therefore, the best choice is B.

Question 7

Which behavioral skills training component functions as the behavioral aspect of a three-term contingency?​
A) ​modeling
B) ​instructions
C) ​rehearsal
D) ​feedback

Accepted Answer

Rehearsal is the component that functions as the behavioral aspect of a three-term contingency, where the behavior is practiced or performed.

Question 8

Which of the following is (are)true concerning the component of modeling?​
A) ​the learner must have an imitative repertoire
B) ​it is usually sufficient to produce long term change
C) ​it may be live or symbolic
D) ​A and C

Accepted Answer

Both options A and C are true concerning the component of modeling. The learner must have an imitative repertoire, meaning the ability to copy or mimic the behavior of the model they are observing. Modeling can be done through live demonstrations, as well as symbolic representations such as written instructions, videos or pictures. Therefore, the correct answer is D - A and C. Option B is false because modeling alone may not be sufficient to produce long-term change, as it depends on various factors such as the complexity of the behavior, the frequency of modeling, and the learner's motivation to imitate the behavior.

Question 9

What is the behavioral procedure called that involves the use of instructions,modeling,rehearsal,and feedback?​
A) ​behavioral skills training procedure
B) ​behavioral acquisition procedures
C) ​functional,nonaversive procedures
D) ​all of these

Accepted Answer

The behavioral procedure that involves the use of instructions, modeling, rehearsal, and feedback is called the behavioral skills training procedure. Option B is incorrect because it is a broad term that includes multiple procedures used in behavioral therapy. Option C is incorrect because it refers to procedures that are effective and ethical in addressing problem behavior. Option D is incorrect because it is too broad and includes options that are not relevant to the question.

Question 10

A parent describes to a child what she should say if a stranger asks the child to get into his car.Which behavioral skills training component involves describing the correct behavior to the learner?​
A) ​rehearsal
B) ​explanation
C) ​instructions
D) ​discrimination

Accepted Answer

The component that involves describing the correct behavior to the learner is instructions. Therefore, the best choice is C.

Question 11

Which component of the behavioral skills training procedure is an antecedent strategy?​
A) ​instructions
B) ​modeling
C) ​rehearsal
D) ​A and B

Accepted Answer

Instructions and modeling are both antecedent strategies used in behavioral skills training. Instructions provide a verbal or written description of how to perform a skill, and modeling demonstrates the skill, both occurring before the behavior is expected to be performed.

Question 12

Which procedure is NOT used to enhance generalization following BST?​
A) ​using a variety of role plays in training
B) ​using real-life situations in training
C) ​using assignments for the learner to practice the skills outside of the training sessions
D) ​using continuous reinforcement for correct responses in the training session

Accepted Answer

Continuous reinforcement for correct responses in the training session is not used to enhance generalization following Behavioral Skills Training (BST). Instead, the use of a variety of role plays, real-life situations, and assignments for the learner to practice the skills outside of the training sessions are methods commonly used to enhance generalization following BST.

Question 13

A teacher shows students a film demonstrating what they should do in case of a fire.Which component of behavioral skills training involves demonstrating the correct behavior for the learner?​
A) ​rehearsal
B) ​instruction
C) ​modeling
D) ​feedback

Accepted Answer

Modeling is the component of behavioral skills training that involves demonstrating the correct behavior for the learner. A teacher showing a fire safety film is an example of modeling. Instruction is the component that involves presenting the verbal instructions for the behavior. Rehearsal is the component that involves practicing the behavior. Feedback is the component that involves providing information about the learner's performance.

Question 14

A teacher wants to teach fire safety skills.What should the teacher do immediately after telling the students what to do when there is a fire and showing them what to do in a fire situation?​
A) ​discuss the behaviors further
B) ​provide the opportunity to rehearse the skills in a simulated fire situation
C) ​ask them what they would do in a fire situation
D) ​ask them what they would do in a fire situation and provide feedback for their answers

Accepted Answer

Providing the opportunity for students to practice the fire safety skills in a simulated fire situation is crucial to reinforce their learning and ensure that they can perform the skills correctly and confidently in a real emergency. Discussing the behaviors further, asking students what they would do in a fire situation, and providing feedback for their answers are all important steps in the teaching process, but they should come after the opportunity to rehearse the skills.

Question 15

A psychologist is helping a student improve his social skills.After instructing him on how to carry on a conversation with other students,the psychologist has the student practice.Practicing the behavior after receiving instructions is referred to as:​
A) ​modeling
B) ​feedback
C) ​rehearsal
D) ​testing

Accepted Answer

Rehearsal involves practicing a behavior after receiving instructions or guidance. This is exactly what the student is doing by practicing the conversation skills instructed by the psychologist. Modeling refers to observing and imitating the behavior of others, feedback is receiving information about the performance of a behavior, and testing involves assessing the performance of a behavior under specific conditions. While all of these may be part of the process of improving social skills, they do not directly apply to the scenario described in the question.

Question 16

The use of modeling is more likely to be effective when the:​
A) ​model's behavior is reinforced
B) ​the model is dissimilar to the learner
C) ​model has low status
D) ​all of these

Accepted Answer

The correct answer is A because when a model's behavior is reinforced, it is more likely to be imitated by the learner. Reinforcement increases the likelihood of behavior being repeated. Dissimilar models may not be as effective because it can be difficult for the learner to identify with them, and models with low status may not be seen as credible sources of behavior to imitate. Therefore, option A is the best choice.

Question 17

Which of the following is NOT true concerning the use of feedback?​
A) ​feedback should be given immediately after the behavior
B) ​feedback should involve praise for some aspect of the behavior
C) ​corrective feedback should be given before praise
D) ​feedback should be descriptive

Accepted Answer

Corrective feedback should be given after praise, not before. This helps to soften the blow of the corrective feedback and ensure that the recipient is more receptive to it.

Question 18

BST procedures are NOT used to:​
A) ​teach new behaviors
B) ​overcome behavioral deficits
C) ​decrease a problem behavior
D) ​B and C

Accepted Answer

BST (Behavioral Skills Training) procedures are primarily used to teach new behaviors and overcome behavioral deficits, not to decrease problem behaviors.

Question 19

Behavioral skills training procedures are used:​
A) ​to teach new behaviors
B) ​when learners cannot imitate models
C) ​to eliminate problem behaviors
D) ​all of these

Accepted Answer

Behavioral skills training procedures are primarily used to teach new behaviors through instruction, modeling, rehearsal, and feedback.

Question 20

Which of the following factors increases the effectiveness of rehearsal?​
A) ​the context in which the behavior is rehearsed
B) ​a delay between the rehearsal and reinforcement
C) ​immediate criticism for errors
D) ​all of these

Accepted Answer

The context in which the behavior is rehearsed can significantly increase the effectiveness of rehearsal by making the learning experience more relevant and engaging, thereby enhancing memory retention and skill acquisition.
