Procedures – Test Bank (7th Edition) |

Preparation Resource
ABC observation, 252 - answer-Direct observation assessment
automatic negative reinforcement, 248 - answer-when the target behavior automatically
reduces or eliminates an aversive stimulus as a consequence of the behavior and the behavior is
strengthened
control condition, 259 - answer-present an AO and withhold the possible reinforcers for the
problem behavior
descriptive assessments, 256 - answer-indirect and direct functional assessment methods
the antecedents and consequences are described, either from memory or from direct
observation of the events
exploratory functional analysis, 259 - answer-not have a hypothesis about the reinforcing
consequence maintaining the problem behavior and is exploring a range of possibilities in the
functional analysis
functional analysis, 257 - answer-you follow the problem behavior with potential reinforcers to
see which consequences increase (strengthen) the behavior, and/or you present different
antecedent events (possible EOs) to see which ones evoke the behavior.
1
, functional assessment, 244 - answer-The process of identifying these variables before treating a
problem behavior
functional interventions, 267 - answer-include extinction, differential reinforcement, and
antecedent manipulations. These interventions are considered functional because they address
the antecedents and consequences identified in the functional assessment
hypothesis-testing functional analysis, 259 - answer-not to evaluate all possible functions, but
to confirm or disconfirm the hypothesis
scatter plot, 253 - answer-assess the time of day that the problem occurs most.
social negative reinforcement, 248 - answer-When another person terminates an aversive
interaction, task, or activity after the occurrence of a target behavior, and as a result, the
behavior is more likely to occur
social positive reinforcement, 248 - answer-When a positively reinforcing consequence is
delivered by another person after the target behavior, and as a result the behavior is more
likely to occur
test condition, 259 - answer-present an EO and a possible reinforcer for the problem behavior;
What is a functional assessment of a problem behavior? Why is it important to conduct a
functional assessment? (pp. 246-247) - answer-the process of gathering information about the
antecedents and consequences that are functionally related to the occurrence of a problem
behavior
