Generality refers to the long-term effect that ABA has on a learner's ability to use the skills taught in therapy.

• A. Behavioral
• B. Generalization
• C. Generality
• D. Technological

Answer: (C)

The idea being tested is the durability of skills learned in therapy over time and across different situations. Generality specifically describes how well a learner continues to use those skills long after training ends, across days, weeks, and various settings or people. The statement points to that lasting, transferable use, which is why generality is the best fit. Generalization, while related, focuses on applying learned skills to new contexts, not necessarily on long-term maintenance. Behavioral is too broad, and technological is about how procedures are described, not the learner’s sustained use of skills.
