NEW QUESTION 108
John’s instructional program has successfully increased the number of words he reads correctly per minute.
The procedures used include special worksheets, contingent reinforcement for number of words read correctly, and peer tutoring. The behavior analyst wants to determine which part or parts of the treatment have been effective, so he systematically dismantles the treatment and withdraws elements until the reading no longer improves. The behavior analyst is completing a:

component analysis.

multi-element design.

parametric examination.

reversal design.

NEW QUESTION 109
A child who learns to say “red” when presented with a red card, also says “red” when presented with an orange card. This is called:

Stimulus generalization

Response generalization

Discrimination

Failure to generalize

NEW QUESTION 110
You are working with a client who finds physical touch to be aversive. When the person is off task, the program calls for you to give a warning by counting to 10; at that point, you gently touch him if he is not back on task. The touch remains until he returns to task. Please note that being touched is aversive for this particular individual. If the person gets back on task during counting, this is an example of:

Escape

Avoidance

Positive reinforcement

Stimulus fading

NEW QUESTION 111
If a client exhibits problem behaviors throughout the day and evenings regardless of what is going on in
the environment and what activities he/she is participating in, which would be the BEST way to reduce the
high frequency and increase latency?

Use a differential reinforcement procedure for the absence of problem behaviors for an amount of time
with a high magnitude reinforcer as a reward.

Use a high magnitude punishment procedure every time he/she exhibits the problem behavior.

Use a low magnitude punishment procedure every time he/she exhibits the problem behavior.

Use a fixed ratio reinforcer every time he/she exhibits appropriate behavior.

NEW QUESTION 112
The decision to develop and implement a behavior intervention plan is not made unless:

the behavior has the potential to cause harm.

data show the need for behavior change exists.

the interdisciplinary team has determined that it is necessary.

staff who will implement the procedures have demonstrated proficiency.

NEW QUESTION 113
Adherence to “procedural integrity” promotes generalization by facilitating.

normalization.

ethical treatment of consumers.

consistency of instruction.

spontaneous changes in intervention procedures.

NEW QUESTION 114
The use of a withdrawal design is LEAST appropriate when:

evaluating an intervention for severe problem behavior.

evaluating the effects of an intervention for behavior that has multiple functions.

extraneous variables cannot be controlled.

multiple participants are being evaluated.

NEW QUESTION 115
If a client exhibits problem behaviors throughout the day and evenings regardless of what is going on in the environment and what activities he/she is participating in, which would be the BEST way to reduce the high frequency and increase latency?

Use a differential reinforcement procedure for the absence of problem behaviors for an amount of time with a high magnitude reinforcer as a reward.

Use a high magnitude punishment procedure every time he/she exhibits the problem behavior.

Use a low magnitude punishment procedure every time he/she exhibits the problem behavior.

Use a fixed ratio reinforcer every time he/she exhibits appropriate behavior.

NEW QUESTION 116
Results of a functional assessment reveal that a child engages in hand-biting when she is in a room by
herself. The likely function of behavior is:

Attention

Access to tangibles

Escape/avoidance

Automatic reinforcement

NEW QUESTION 117
A teacher is tracking the performance of both math and spelling assignments for each of her 25 students. For feedback purposes, she wishes to display each student’s percent correct for both areas using a line graph. What would be the MOST effective and efficient way to accomplish this?

Prepare a large graph for spelling and a similar one for math and place on the graphs the average data for the entire class in the two content areas.

Prepare a separate graph for each student and, using a unique symbol for each content area, record the data and connect the similar symbols to create data path lines.

Prepare a single large graph and display each student’s data for the spelling and math areas using unique symbols for each student and for each content area.

Prepare two graphs for each student, one for spelling and one for math, because there is no appropriate method for reporting these two content areas together on the same graph.

NEW QUESTION 118
In order to evoke a mand for “cookie,” the behavior analyst should.

give the child a cookie.

deprive the child of cookies.

show the child a picture of a cookie.

say “cookie” and praise repeating the word.

NEW QUESTION 119
Once a stimulus has been determined to function as a reinforcer in a particular contingency, which of the following is likely to be true?

The reinforcer should be adjusted to vary during the observation period.

The reinforcer should be used with others in the immediate environment.

The effect of the reinforcer may strengthen with relevant deprivation.

The effect of the reinforcer will weaken if a variable interval schedule is used.

NEW QUESTION 120

management techniques is adhering to which dimensions of behavior analysis?

Conceptually systematic

Applied

Technological

Analytic

NEW QUESTION 121

NEW QUESTION 122
A teacher uses a group contingency with her students. She states the following rule: “If everyone gets

evaluating an intervention for severe problem behavior.

evaluating the effects of an intervention for behavior that has multiple functions.

extraneous variables cannot be controlled.

multiple participants are being evaluated.

NEW QUESTION 124
A behavior analyst is working with an adult client, who is deemed competent. There are multiple potential behavior targets that need to be addressed including smoking cigarettes, nail biting, and compulsive hand washing. As a first goal, the behavior analyst wants the client to focus on eliminating smoking but the client would prefer to focus on nail biting. The behavior analyst should.

develop a self-management plan for eliminating nail biting as this is the preference of the client.

develop a self-management plan for eliminating smoking as this behavior poses a serious health risk for the client.

convince the client to change their first goal to elimination of smoking.

refer the client to another behavior analyst as there is a discrepancy in goal setting priorities.
