BEHV 5612 Module 12 Exam Questions And
Correct Answers
The goal of functional behavioral assessment is to: - Answer identify the function of
undesirable behavior
When the function of the problem behavior is understood in terms of linking setting
events and immediate antecedents with the behavior and its consequences in a
summary statement, it is possible to: - Answer effectively develop a multi-component
support plan designed to make the problem behavior irrelevant, inefficient, and
ineffective
Too often people providing behavioral support conduct an FBA and then - Answer move
on to implementing interventions without linking their interventions to the function of the
problem behaviors they are attempting to eliminate
Proactive and preventative interventions may focus on: - Answer setting events
antecedents
Teaching strategies may be implemented to replace undesirable behaviors with more -
Answer adaptive alternative behaviors
When the intervention is based on the function of the undesirable behavior,
consequence interventions may be used to: - Answer both weaken the maintaining
consequences for problem behavior and strengthen the consequences for desired
alternative and replacement behaviors
When the selection of an intervention is not linked to the function of problem behavior, it
is: - Answer more likely to be ineffective
may make the problem worse
, Topography of the problem behavior is: - Answer what the observable behavior is
Which of the following is an example of topography of behavior? - Answer hitting
running out of the room
kicking
Topography of behavior: - Answer is different from the function of the behavior
The same topography of a problem behavior such as hitting may: - Answer serve
different functions
Without knowing the function of the behavior, the effectiveness of an intervention: -
Answer will be "hit or miss"
Which is our most effective strategy for creating lasting changes in behavior? - Answer
teaching new skills
Knowing the function of problem behavior allows teachers, family, and others to: -
Answer teach appropriate skills and behaviors that can serve the same function as
problem behavior, and thereby work as replacement behavior
The goal of selecting intervention procedures is: - Answer to specify a single technique
that is expected to eliminate the problem behavior
to organize a cluster of changes in the setting that will reduce the likelihood of the
problem behavior, that will increase the likelihood of the alternative appropriate
behavior paths, and that fits the values, resources, and skills of the people who must
implement the procedures
Replacement behaviors should: - Answer serve the same function as the problem
behavior
