1. In a few simple sentences, what was the overarching finding for Roscoe et al (1999)?

2. In the intro of Glover et al (2008), authors comment that There are a number of contextual variables that may influence relative preference for a stimulus, including the concurrent availability of alternative sources of stimulation. What does that mean?

3. Define a yoked schedule of reinforcement.

a. Technological terms-

b. To a parent-

4. Explain a single vs concurrent schedules.

5. In 4-5 sentences explain the rational for Roscoe et al (1999) methodology. I.e. why did they conduct the study in the way they did? What were they trying to examine?

6. Describe the concurrent chains procedure used in Hanley et al. (2005) to determine the preference for interventions by participants.

7. Discuss the similarity between concurrent chains and concurrent schedules procedures and why this is an effective way to assess preferences.

8. Discuss the value of having learners select their preferred interventions. Think of assent and social validity.

9. Shore et al. (1997) investigated the use of objects that compete or interfere with SIB. What were some of the practical limitations in having continuous access to objects as an intervention?

10. Define a parametric analysis (See Glossary in Cooper, Heron, and Heward). What parameters were manipulated in Experiment 2 and Experiment 3?

11. Would the progressive ratio schedule be considered a parametric analysis? Why or why not?
