The material indicates there are several methods for task analysis, including single-opportunity and multiple-opportunity.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Not specified
• D. Only one method exists

Answer: (A)

Task analysis in behavior analysis involves breaking a complex skill into its component steps, and there are different ways to determine those steps. The material notes multiple methods, including a single-opportunity approach and a multiple-opportunity approach. In the single-opportunity method, the sequence is derived from observing the learner in one attempt, which can be quick but might miss steps the learner doesn’t reveal in that single trial. The multiple-opportunity method gathers observations across several attempts, checking which steps occur reliably and in what order, leading to a more robust and teachable sequence. Because different tasks and learners call for different levels of certainty and efficiency, more than one method is used.
