Correct Answers (Grade A+)
Question 1: when designing a DRA/DRI intervention, it is a good idea to use the reinforcers that
maintain problem behavior as the reinforcers for the "A" and "I" behaviors.
Answer: true
Question 2: generally speaking, it is a good idea to use momentary DRO to begin you intervention and
move to an interval DRO for maintenance purposes.
Answer: false
Question 3: DRL is the intervention of choice when you do not want to totally eliminate the target
behavior.
Answer: true
Question 4: Functional communication training is considered to be:.
Answer: Antecedent intervention
Question 5: Behaviors selected for a high-p request sequence should:.
Answer: Be a part of the learner's current repertoire
Question 6: To effectively implement a high-p request sequence, it is important to:.
Answer: Present requests in a rapid sequence
Question 7: stimuli with known reinforcing properties that are delivered on a fixed-time or
variable-time schedule independent of the learner's behavior
Answer: Noncontingent reinforcement involves the presentation of:.
Question 8: Noncontingent reinforcement may effectively decrease problem behavior because:.
Answer: Reinforcers that maintain the problem behavior are available freely and frequently.
