What are the advantages and disadvantages of using a time-out room? Answer: A time-out room is any confined space outside of the instructional setting. An advantage ofa time-out room is that it can be a place of safety for the individual or others. In a time-out room the opportunity to

Name and briefly describe three levels of scientific understanding. Answer: Description: yields a collection of facts about observed events; Prediction: Observations result in the discovery that two or more events consistently co-vary; Experimental control: Highest level of understanding, achieved when a predictable change in behavior can be reliably produced by

Observers should receive feedback about the extent to which their data confirm or run counter to hypothesized results or treatment goals. Answer: FALSE: Observers should be nave and should not receive feedback about the extent to which their data confirm or run counter to hypothesized results or treatment goals. Answer: FALSE:

Change to alternate behaviors then return D. Remove that behavior from the repertoire Answer: B Answer: B Answer: B Shaping a behavior within a response ________________ means that the form of

TRUE/FALSE If a learner is making frequent mistakes during a shaping process, this is a signal that the criteria for reinforcement are being raised too quickly. Answer: TRUE Answer: TRUE Answer: TRUE TRUE/FALSE When the topography of a previous imitation occurs in the absence of the model it is not imitative behavior. Answer: TRUE Answer: TRUE Answer:
