Some advantages of NET are which of the following. - CORRECT ANSWER-Use of a client's MO to guide language instruction, Reduce the amount of problem behavior, the verbal instructions are much more instructions are much more characteristic of typical verbal interactions, and the training conditions are closer to how a client may be taught in the future. Provide an example of incidental teaching... - CORRECT ANSWER-Providing structured learning opportunities in the natural environment by using the clients interests and natural motivation, such as withholding reinforcing items until a client requests them appropriately. True/False: Sometimes when using NET procedures you may have to contrive a situation to work on a skill. - CORRECT ANSWER-True True/False: Task analysis is the process of breaking a skill into smaller, more manageable steps in order to teach the skill. Task analysis is an effective way to plan the teaching of skills that require several steps to be performed. - CORRECT ANSWER-True. Task analysis can be used to teach which of the following types of skills. - CORRECT ANSWER-All of the above (self-help skills, life skills, academic skills) Provide an example of a behavior that is most likely be taught using a task analysis. - CORRECT ANSWER- hand washing, brushing teeth, completing chores.

Each time a step is mastered the client is expected to complete the acquisition step and all mastered steps. When using forward chaining the RBT does with of the following? - CORRECT ANSWER-Will ask the client to complete the first step independently then prompt him/her through the remainder of the steps. Once a step is mastered the client is expected to complete all mastered and the one acquisition step independently. When using total task presentation the RBT does which of the following? - CORRECT ANSWER-Will present the task and will allow the opportunity for the client to complete each step independently in order each time the task is presented, prompting when necessary.
Which is a correct prompting hierarchy for prompt fading? - CORRECT ANSWER-Full verbal, partial verbal, gestural, visual. True/False: Failing to fade prompts can lead to a client being prompt dependent? - CORRECT ANSWER- True. The goal of instruction is to produce behavior change outside the training context... - CORRECT ANSWER-All of the above (overtime, accross persons, setting, and stimuli, and spread to related behaviors.)
