In order for video-modeling to be effective, the model must be an individual other than the learner.

Which of the following is NOT listed as a key term in Chapter 22 on Shaping?

is defined as differential reinforcement of successive approximations of a target behavior. 

Effective interventions based on FBA are designed to be ___________.

When a behavior that was previously reinforced no longer results in the expected outcome, an increase in the variability of the behavior is often observed as the individual experiments with variations of the original behavior to try to obtain reinforcement. This phenomenon is known as _______________.

When nonreinforcement (witholding reinforcfment) of a response class results in the learner engaging in a topographically different response we call this

The process of differential reinforcement during shaping results in response differentiation.

A critical component of shaping, according to Skinner, is the reinforcement of a series of approximations.

If progress breaks down while conducting imitation training, the practitioner should:

Observational learning can be differentiated from imitation because observational learning includes observing the:
