ABA 630 Exam 4 Questions And Answers Fully Solved

Operant extinction is the process by which a previously _________ response is weakened by _________ reinforcement. Punished/Delivering Reinforced/Withdrawing Reinforced/Withholding Punished/Removing - correct answers Reinforced/Withholding Which of the following is not associated with extinction? Spontaneous Recovery Aggression Extinction Burst Stable Responding - correct answers Stable Responding Which statement correctly states the definition of extinction? Extinction is a procedure that provides zero probability of reinforcement. Extinction is a procedure in which punishment of a previously punished behavior is discontinued. Extinction is a procedure in which behavior is put on a continuous reinforcement schedule. None of the above. - correct answers Extinction is a procedure that provides zero probability of reinforcement. Which of the following statements is not a common misuse of the term extinction? Referring to any decrease in behavior Confusing forgetting and extinction Confusing noncontingent reinforcement and extinction Withholding of reinforcers that maintain the behavior - correct answers Withholding of reinforcers that maintain the behavior Resistance to extinction is ______________ when extinction is carried out under high motivation than under low. Greater Lower Faster Smaller - correct answers Greater Which statement correctly defines extinction burst? The gradual decline in frequency of a target behavior after the removal of the reinforcer A gradual increase in frequency of a target behavior after the removal of the reinforcer. An immediate increase in the frequency of a target behavior after the removal of the reinforcer. An immediate decline in the frequency of a target behavior after the removal of the reinforcer. - correct answers An immediate increase in the frequency of a target behavior after the removal of the reinforcer. According to Iwata et al. (1994) which of the following procedures is contraindicated for behaviors that are maintained by social positive reinforcement? Extinction of behavior maintained by positive reinforcement Extinction of behavior maintained by negative reinforcement Extinction of behavior maintained by automatic reinforcement None of the above - correct answers Extinction of behavior maintained by negative reinforcement Differential reinforcement consists of: Reinforcement and extinction Extinction and punishment Reinforcement and punishment Shaping and extinction - correct answers Reinforcement and extinction Continuing a procedure as planned, regardless of problem behaviors exhibited, represents which strategy to address behaviors maintained by escape? Positive punishment Differential reinforcement Extinction Noncontingent reinforcement - correct answers Extinction What behaviors are reinforced in a DRO? Appropriate, specifically targeted replacement behaviors Behaviors that are incompatible with the target response Anything that is not the target behavior (absence of the target behavior) Behaviors that occur at a low rate - correct answers Anything that is not the target behavior (absence of the target behavior) What is the difference between DRI and DRA? DRI involves reinforcing a behavior that is incompatible with the problem behavior, whereas DRA involves reinforcing a behavior that may not be incompatible with the problem behavior DRA involves reinforcing anything other than the problem behavior, whereas DRI involves reinforcing any behavior that is incompatible with the problem behavior With DRA, the number of responses is important, whereas with DRI it is not None of the above. There is no difference between DRI and DRA - correct answers DRI involves reinforcing a behavior that is incompatible with the problem behavior, whereas DRA involves reinforcing a behavior that may not be incompatible with the problem behavior In the article written by Austin and Bevan (2011), the experimenters used which procedure to reduce the number of questions asked by the three subjects during the 20 minute span of time? DRA DRI DRO DRL - correct answers DRL While the authors Steege et al. (1990) indicated that they would use a DRA procedure to reduce the incidence of self-injurious biting behavior, this procedure might be better defined as: DRI DRO DRL It is really best defined as DRA - correct answers DRI The article by Schlinger (2007) suggests that Prince Albert opened the door after using what procedure? DRA DRI DRO DRL - correct answers DRA Jillian gets a soda from the vending machine every day at lunch time. One day, she puts her money in, presses the button, but no soda comes out. She starts pressing the button again and again. What's going on? An extinction burst Escape extinction Extinction-induced aggression Punishment - correct answers An extinction burst Andrew wiggles his fingers in front of his eyes for hours a day. A functional assessment indicates that the behavior is reinforced by the visual stimulation of the light play through his fingers. His mother decides to keep all of the lights very dim and the curtains drawn at all times, so that he can no longer see rays of light. Which extinction procedure did Andrew's mother use? Extinction of behavior maintained by positive reinforcement Extinction of behavior maintained by negative reinforcement Extinction of behavior maintained by automatic reinforcement None of the above - correct answers Extinction of behavior maintained by automatic reinforcement
