Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) — Question 30

In order to promote generalization in intensive teaching, the behavior analyst should.

Answer options

• A. teach loosely.
• B. use the same SD.
• C. use few exemplars.
• D. teach in the same environment.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Teaching loosely allows for variations in instruction, which helps promote generalization of skills across different contexts. The other options, such as using the same SD or teaching in the same environment, can limit the ability of the learner to apply their skills in varied situations, which is contrary to the goal of promoting generalization.
