bds F.4 part 4

Which of the following exemplifies a preference assessment?

-The instructor asks the learner which activity she wants to work for before an academic work session. -A practitioner conducts a survey with caregivers and has them rank a list of items from most to least liked by their child.

Progressive ratio schedule reinforcer assessments can be used to determine

how effective a reinforcer is under conditions of high response effort.

With in-the-moment reinforcer analyses,

-practitioners can select which potentially reinforcing item to present contingent on the correct response according to their discretion. -practitioners present a potentially reinforcing item after the learner's correct response and measure the response rate. -the learner's affect, past interactions with an item, performance data, and interactions with similar items are considered when selecting item deliveries.

In a progressive ratio schedule reinforcer assessment, reinforcer value is determined based on

how many responses an individual will emit to earn the reinforcer.

A reinforcer assessment in which two or more single schedules of reinforcement are alternately applied to a single behavior is a

multiple schedule reinforcer assessment.

After feeding her child three-fourths of his meal, a mother begins asking him if he wants more, and feeds the child another bite each time the child signs "more." She compares how many times her child signs for more depending on which food the child is eating. This is a

multiple schedule reinforcer assessment.

A reinforcer assessment in which the number of responses required to obtain a particular stimulus is gradually increased is a

progressive ratio schedule reinforcer assessment.

Multiple schedule reinforcer assessments can be used to determine

the relative effects of contingent versus noncontingent presentation of a stimulus.

In a multiple schedule reinforcer assessment, reinforcer value is determined based on

the relative rates of a single behavior on different reinforcement schedules.

Variables that influence the efficacy of reinforcement include

timing, quality, establishing operation, duration, and variety.
