Questions and Answers

Task analysis steps may be used to create visual schedules for people to self-monitor their own activities.

True (A)

Nicholas is reinforced for smoothing his sheets, tucking them in, and pulling the comforter up to the top of the bed. His RBT places the pillows. This is an example of teaching bed making via:

  • Forward Chaining (correct)
  • Backward Chaining

Task analysis and visual schedules

True. Task analysis steps can be used to create visual schedules that help people monitor their own activities.

Forward Chaining

Forward chaining involves teaching the first step of a task analysis first and then the second and so on. In forward chaining, the student completes all the steps that they have learned so far and then the trainer completes the remaining steps

Task analysis for monitoring work

Supervisors can use a task analysis to monitor your work, ensuring that each step is completed correctly.

Total Task Chaining candidate

Forward chaining involves teaching the first step of a task analysis first and then the second and so on. Total Task Chaining involves you teaching all of the steps of the task analysis at once.

Number of task analysis types

False. There are three types of task analysis: forward chaining, backward chaining and total task chaining.

Total Task Chaining

Total task chaining involves teaching all of the steps of the task analysis at once. The student attempts each step in the chain, and receives prompting to complete each step as needed.

Backward Chaining

Backward chaining is probably best, as it involves the trainer completing all the steps of the chain except for the last step. Which the student completes. This provides reinforcement and helps maintain attention.

Study Notes

Task Analysis Overview

  • Task analysis (TA) can create visual schedules for self-monitoring activities.
  • TA is outlined in various chaining methods for teaching skills and monitoring tasks.

Chaining Techniques

  • Backward Chaining: Involves teaching tasks by starting with the last step and working back to the first.
  • Forward Chaining: Starts with the initial step and progresses sequentially through the task. Beneficial for learners who gain confidence from early successes.
  • Total Task Chaining: Teaches the entire task sequence at once but may involve prompting for correct execution.

Application of Task Analysis

  • TA allows supervisors to monitor employee performance effectively.
  • Useful for reinforcing new skills and tracking progress.

Candidate Suitability for Methods

  • Learners who enjoy attention and seek independence, like Pandora, are ideal for total task chaining.
  • Individuals struggling with certain steps (e.g., Parasha with smoothing sheets) may benefit from backward chaining initially.

Behavioral Concepts

  • Behavioral Momentum: Utilizes previous successes (easy tasks) to build compliance for more challenging tasks.
  • Probes can determine if a skill can be completed independently or if prompts are required.

Requirements for Effective Analysis

  • Task analysis serves dual purposes: progress monitoring and effective teaching.
  • Critical factors for determining TA detail include the needs of the user and task difficulty.

Enhancements in Creating Task Analysis

  • Watching a video or following a verified TA can improve the creation process.

Specific Examples

  • Nathan learns tooth brushing with guidance to promote independence.
  • Nancy’s learning of shoe tying combines steps for gradual independence in the process.
