The most reliable form of identifying potentially effective reinforcers is known as Preference Assessment. It is an adaptive procedure vastly used in the field of reinforcers.
Explanation:
Preference Assessment identifies items that are likely to be effective as reinforcers by identifying a particular learner's preference for them.
- Reinforcement is an important part of being an effective behavior technician and the preference assessments are crucial.
- Plenty of research has shown that when you give the learner an opportunity to show you what they want that is a much better indication of what will work as a reinforcer rather than asking family.
- Preference assessments identify attention, objects or activities that have a strong potential for serving as reinforcers for target clients. There are ethical reasons to use them.
- Beyond the scope of the guide is the exhaustive review of the Preference assessment methodology and literature. However, interested readers go through Virus-Ortega et al(2014) for decision- making process and selecting an appropriate method of preference assessment for individuals with disabilities.
Answer:
53.895 m.
Explanation:
Using the equation of motion,
v² = u² + 2as .............. Equation 1
Where v = final velocity of the swan, u = initial velocity of the swan, a = acceleration of the swan, s = distance covered by the swan.
make s the subject of the equation,
s = (v² - u²)/2a----------- Equation 2
Given: v = 6.4 m/s, u = 0 m/s ( from rest) a = 0.380 m/s².
Substitute into equation 2
s = (6.4²-0²)/(2×0.380)
s = 40.96/0.76
s = 53.895 m.
Hence the swan will travel 53.895 m before becoming airborne.
