VI 10 -ANSWER✅✅✅✅I am targeting appropriate hand raising behaviors with my
client in the classroom setting. I do this by setting a timer for an average of 10 minutes,
sometimes as low as 5 minutes and sometimes as high as 15 minutes. If the client
shouts out an answer to the teacher's question, without raising his hand first, he will not
earn reinforcement. When the timer goes off, I give the client his favorite toy the very
next occurrence of raising his hand appropriately. This is an example of which
intermittent reinforcement schedule?
A) FI 10
B) FR 10
C) VR 10
D) VI 10
B) Resistance to Extinction -ANSWER✅✅✅✅The grocery store where I shop recently
changed where they keep the applesauce. Even after I discover the change, I still go
down the aisle where the applesauce used to be and look for it. The rate of my behavior
of going to the wrong aisle does not increase, but it does take several months to for the
behavior to subside. Going down the wrong aisle and looking for the applesauce after
knowing it was moved, is an example of...
A) An Extinction Burst
B) Resistance to Extinction
C) Spontaneous Recovery
D) A Functional Relationship
C) Total Task Chaining -ANSWER✅✅✅✅I conduct a task analysis and collect
baseline data on my client's ability to do the dishes. I discover during the collection of
baseline data that my client can do several of the steps independently and the steps the
client is unable to complete independently, he needs only minimal verbal prompting.
Which task chaining procedure would be the best to use in this situation?
A) Forward Chaining
B) Backward Chaining
C) Total Task Chaining
D) Single Opportunity Chaining
D. Mean count IOA -ANSWER✅✅✅✅want to measure interobserver agreement of the
data collected by two BCaBAs. I take the total interval data if one and divides it by the
other. This is an example of:
A. Interval Count IOA
B. Total count IOA
C. Exact Count IOA
D. Mean count IOA
, Forced Choice -ANSWER✅✅✅✅I show my client two objects and have her choose
which one she wants. Once she makes her choice, she receives that item. What
stimulus preference assessment am I utilizing?
A) Free operant
B) Multiple Stimulus
C) Forced choice
D) Single Stimulus
mediation -ANSWER✅✅✅✅During a supervision visit to a client's house, the client's
parents ask me, a BCBA, what they could to do support their child's social skills
program outside of the session setting. I provide them with some suggestions. The
parent's involvement in their child's social skills program outside of the session setting is
an example of...
A) Programming Common Stimuli
B) Loosely Training/Teaching Loosely
C) Multiple Exemplars
D) Mediation
A) Behavioral Contrast Effect -ANSWER✅✅✅✅I implement a treatment plan in the
home to reduce the client's yelling behaviors when he is asked to do a non-preferred
task. A week after starting the treatment plan at home, the client's school reports he is
yelling more frequently when asked to do something he doesn't prefer. This is an
example of...
A) Behavioral Contrast Effect
B) Grandma's Law
C) Matching Law
D) Premack principle
A) Teaching Loosely -ANSWER✅✅✅✅I am studying to become a BCBA. My
supervisor is helping me study by asking me to label the AKAs for several terms. Which
strategy of generalization are they using?
A) Teaching Loosely
B) Multiple Exemplar Training
C) Mediation
D) In discriminable Contingencies
Interval DRD -ANSWER✅✅✅✅I set up the contingency, if my client reaches or
exceeds a predetermined rate of responding by the end of an interval, he gets to play
with his iPad (a reinforcer). The predetermined rate of responding is set higher than
baseline. By the end of the week, my client consistently getting to play with his iPad at
the end of every interval of the session. Which form of differential reinforcement did I
use?
A) Full-session DRH
B) Interval DRH
C) Full-session DRD
D) Interval DRD
, A) When the client matches the sample stimulus to an identical stimulus in a field -
ANSWER✅✅✅✅Which of the following would you give reinforcement with reflexivity
relation?
A) When the client matches the sample stimulus to an identical stimulus in a field
B) When the client doesn't match the sample stimulus to the identical stimulus in a field
C) When the client matches the sample stimulus to an comparison or symbolic stimulus
from a field
D) When the client matches the sample stimulus to non-related stimulus from a field as
a result of a reflex response
D) Recommend the parents have the client be medically evaluated due to the recent
behavior change -ANSWER✅✅✅✅During an intake, the client's parents noted they
recently noticed him engaging in self-gagging behavior. What should I do first?
A) Conduct a functional behavioral assessment to determine the function of the
behavior
B) Conduct a functional analysis to determine the function of the behavior
C) Implement a peer reviewed, research supported treatment procedure for self-
gagging behavior
D) Recommend the parents have the client be medically evaluated due to the recent
behavior change
A) Conditioned reinforcer -ANSWER✅✅✅✅When I started with my client, he didn't
want anything to do with me. Sometimes he would even run away when I asked him to
do a simple task. The parents reported he loves to eat cookies but his doctor
recommends limiting the amount of cookies he eats. Knowing this, I began controlling
access to the cookies; only given my client a cookie every time he completed a simple
task. After several days I start to give him a cookie and a toy, every time he completed a
simple task. After several more days, I stop giving him cookies for completing the simple
task and only given him the toy. Even after he no longer receives a cookie for
completing the simple task, he continues to do so. In this scenario, the a toy I give has
become a:
A) Conditioned reinforcer
B) Generalized conditioned reinforcer
C) Unconditioned reinforcer
D) Discriminative Stimulus
James -ANSWER✅✅✅✅I want to implement a dependent group contingency in a
classroom of 20 children. The contingency is if the one child I select sits in their seat for
entire 30 minutes of study time (excluding getting out of their seat to go to the bathroom,
get a book, or sharpen their pencil), the entire class gets an extra 10 minutes of recess.
I have four children in mind. James often engages disruptive behaviors, yelling and
throwing items, to make the other children laugh during study time but typically remains
in his seat. Diana is shy and follows directions very well but is often absent. Sarah has
trouble remaining in her seat during most activities but does well during study time.
Jason doesn't like to study and frequently engages in elopement from the room during
