Discrete trial training (DTT) is characterized by which structural format?
Answer: A structured, massed trial format with a clear SD, response, and consequence, repeated in rapid succession
DTT uses a controlled, structured format with a clear discriminative stimulus, an expected response, a consequence, and an inter-trial interval — run in repeated massed trials.
Which of the following is an evidence-based ABA procedure for teaching a learner to tolerate delays to reinforcement?
Answer: Differential reinforcement of other behavior (DRO) with gradually increasing intervals
DRO with gradually increasing intervals teaches the learner to go progressively longer periods without engaging in problem behavior by reinforcing the absence of the behavior across longer and longer intervals.
Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS) targets which verbal operant first?
Answer: Mand
PECS begins by teaching the learner to initiate a mand (request) by exchanging a picture of a desired item with a communicative partner.
Social stories, as an intervention for learners with ASD, are designed to:
Answer: Describe social situations and appropriate social responses using a structured narrative format to build social understanding
Social stories describe a specific social situation, the perspectives of others, and appropriate responses, helping learners understand social contexts and expectations.
Video modeling as an ABA intervention involves:
Answer: Using video recordings of models performing target behaviors for the learner to observe and imitate
Video modeling presents recordings of a model performing the target skill, which the learner watches and then imitates, leveraging observational learning.
Token economies function as a behavior management system by:
Answer: Using conditioned reinforcers (tokens) that can be exchanged for backup reinforcers, bridging the delay between behavior and primary reinforcement
Tokens function as conditioned reinforcers that bridge the delay to backup reinforcers, allowing behavior to be reinforced consistently even when backup reinforcers cannot be immediately delivered.
