Compound Schedules of Reinforcement
Chaining
Group Contingencies
Motivating Operations
Imitation
100

This non-discriminated compound schedule includes 2 or more basic schedules operating in a specified sequence with a correlated Sd. 

What is a tendem schedule

100

In this type of chaining, behaviors are linked beginning with the first behavior in the sequence. 

What is forward chaining? 

100

In this group contingency, the group's access to the reward depends a single individual's performance. 

What is a dependent group contingency? 

100

These events, operations or stimulus conditions influence the value of stimuli as reinforcers in the absence of prior learning. 

What are unconditioned motivating operations?

100

This antecedent stimulus is topogaphically similar to and the controlling variable of an imitative bahavior.

What is modeling? 

200

In this compound schedule, 1 response is involved, the schedules are available simultaneously, and the first schedule completed provides reinforcement. 

What is an alternative schedule

200

This variation of chaining seeks to decrease the amount of instructional time by not training every step in the chain, using probes instead. 

What is the leaps ahead method?

200

This group contingency represents an "all or none" arrangement. 

What is interdependent group contingency?

200

This antecedent variable, unlike an MO, effects behavior because its presence is correlated with differential availability of a reinforcer.

What is Sd? 

200

This type of measure is used intermittently during training to assess for generalized imitation

What is a probe?

300

With this schedule, in which 2 or more responses are involved, an individual tends to maximize reinforcement by responding to the schedule that produces the highest rate of reinforcment. 

What is a concurrent schedule?

300

This method of chaining is recommended when a learner can perform several steps of the chain already, but needs to learn them in sequence.

What is total task chaining?

300

This activity involves the use of an interdepedent group contingency, and has been applied in school settings to decrease disuptive behaviors. 

What is the Good Behavior Game? 

300

This value altering effect increases the effectiveness of a potential reinforcer. 

What is establishing?
300

This component of imitation training involves providing the learner with multiple opportunties to practice the response in order to receive feedback.

What is rehearsal? 

400

The basic schedules within this compound schedule occur successively and independently, with a distinct Sd correlated with each schedule. 

What is a multiple schedule. 

400

This list of sequentially ordered steps or tasks is typically the first step in designing a program using chaining. 

What is a task analysis? 

400

This refers to the level or amount of a behavior that must be demonstrated to receive reinforcement? 

What is criterion?

400

This type of conditioned MO exists because of pairing previously neutral stimuli with UMOs.

What is a CMO-S

400

This term is used to describe a situation where a learner imitates a wide variety of unprompted, untrained and non-reinforced models in different settings and situations. 

What is generalized imitation? 

500

This compound schedule of reinforcement is similar to a multiple schedule in that 2 or more schedule requirements occur successively and each has a distinct correlated Sd. It differs in that the basic schedules always occur in a specific order. In this schedule the condition reinforcement for responding in first element is the presentation of the second element. 

What is a chained schedule?

500

This behavior chain must be completed within a specfied time to produce reinforcement. 

What is behavior chain with a limited hold?

500
This type of group contingency would be recommended if the practitioner wants to differentially reinforce appropriate behavior for each member of a group?

What is an independent group contingency?

500

This type of conditoned MO evokes behavior because of it's relation to the value of a consequence, versus the availability of the consequence. 

What is a CMO-T

500

This is a decision that a clinician should make if a learner's progress is worsening or stalls during imitation training. 

What is back up and resume training more slowly.
