AND SOLUTIONS DETAILED ANALYSIS
GRADED A+
⩥ While supervising another behavior analyst, you begin to address "off-
task behavior", by prompting the behavior analyst to stay on task
whenever you see them off task during working hours of the day.
Although this decreased the other behavior analyst's off-task behavior, it
increased the likelihood that you would reprimand in the future. Which
contingency was at play for the behavior analyst's behavior of "off-task
behavior"/which contingency was at play for your "reprimand"
behavior? Answer: Positive punishment/negative reinforcement
⩥ Benji continually nags his child to brush his teeth before bed. Benji
stops nagging as soon as the child complies. The child is more likely to
comply to Benji's nagging in the future. With regards to the child
brushing his teeth as the behavior of interest, which contingency appears
to have occurred? Answer: Negative Reinforcement
⩥ Janice learned 10 new mands to mastery using least to most
prompting in 12 sessions consisting of 10 trials per session. She also
learned 10 mands to mastery using most to least prompting in 4 sessions
consisting of 10 trials per session. The behavior analyst decided to use
most to least prompting moving forward. Which measure was used to be
able to compare the two interventions? Answer: Trials to criterion
,⩥ To establish a token as a reinforcer, you pair it with an edible
reinforcer. After pairing the two stimuli, the token demonstrates
reinforcing properties. In this example, the edible reinforcer appears to
function as a(n): Answer: Unconditioned reinforcer
⩥ Regina bought new speakers to create surround sound in her home
theater. During the setup, she realized she needs a receiver to make the
speakers work, so she went to the store, seeing they were in stock she
bought a receiver. The speakers functioned as a _______, evoking the
purchase of a receiver so the speakers would be powered. Answer:
CMO-T
⩥ The goal of a DRL intervention is most likely to: Answer: Increase the
IRT of the target behavior
⩥ While using a reversal design to identify if the FCT intervention
reduces Frankie's aggressive behaviors, you see no change to aggressive
behaviors during the baseline phase. What should you do? Answer:
Move to the intervention phase of the experimental design.
⩥ You completed a task analysis for brushing hair and separate the task
into 8 different steps. Following an initial assessment of mastery level,
you identify that Simone is able to complete the first 3 steps of the task
analysis without assistance. When using a forward chaining procedure,
which step will likely require prompting first? Answer: Step 4
, ⩥ Experimental control has been demonstrated for a reversal design in
which of the examples below? Answer: Behavior occurs at a low rate
during both baseline phases, but occurs at a high rate during both
intervention phases.
⩥ Hiroshi engages in aggressive behavior when he doesn't have a stapler
with staples. The behavior analyst addresses this behavior by providing
Hiroshi with staples in his stapler once every 30 minutes. The behavior
analyst is addressing this target behavior by manipulating which
component of the provided contingency? Answer: Motivating operation
⩥ While reading a journal article, you notice the study conducted was a
group design, where they found a significant correlation between
individuals diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder and increased
levels of agitation. What level of scientific understanding was most
likely achieved during the study? Answer: Prediction
⩥ While reviewing ABC data that were collected in the natural
environment, you notice that the most common antecedents include the
parents talking to the child's siblings or the parents leaving for work. The
behavior of concern is shouting. The most common consequences
include the parents taking away the child's tablet and delivering a
reprimand to the child. Based on these results which of the following
interventions would not be a function-based intervention? Answer: Give
the child access to the tablet on a time-based schedule.
