18. What is a risk of choosing the single-opportunity method of assessment for assessing mastery of a task analysis?
19. What is meant by the statement that progress in shaping is rarely linear and often erratic?

21. When shaping a new behavior, it is important to:
22. When the topography of a previous imitation occurs in the absence of the model it is not imitative behavior.
