Answer to Question 1

Answers should include three of the following factors that should be considered when teaching sufficient stimulus examples with a brief discussion of each: complexity of the target behavior, the teaching procedures employed, learner's opportunities to emit the target behavior under various conditions, naturally existing contingencies of reinforcement, and the learner's history of reinforcement for generalized responding.
