Question: Functional analysis.
Answer:
The manipulation of antecedent events to evoke a behavior and reinforcing consequences to abate the
target behavior is referred to as:
Question: Conducting a functional behavior assessment.
Answer:
What should be the first step when using behavior modification procedures to decrease a behavior?
Question: All of these
Answer:
Conducting a functional behavior assessment can provide information concerning: Dimensions of the
behavior. Antecedent events. Consequences of the behavior. All of these
Question: Systematic assessment.
Answer:
Which of the following is not a method used in conducting a functional assessment?
Question: All of these
Answer:
Which of the following is recorded when using direct observation methods to conduct a functional
assessment? Behaviors. Consequences. Antecedents. All of these.
Question: Both consequences and antecedents.
Answer:
The use of experimental methods in conducting a functional assessment involves the manipulation of:
Behavior. Consequences. Antecedents. Both consequences and antecedents.
Question: Attention.
Answer:
When observing a functional analysis being conducted, the RBT is delivering attention in the form of
verbal attention (such as, "Carlos, why are you throwing these books?" or "Please stop breaking these
pencils.") contingent on Carlos engaging in the target behavior of property destruction. What functional
analysis condition is most likely being implemented in this described scenario:
Question: Demand.
, Answer:
When observing a functional analysis being conducted, the RBT allows the client to escape his
homework each time Carlos breaks a pencil by taking away his homework and telling him, "Never mind,
you do not have to do this homework." What functional analysis condition is most likely being
implemented in this described scenario:
Question: Control/play.
Answer:
When observing a functional analysis being conducted, one observes a client in a room with his most
highly preferred items, attention is being delivered frequently, and no demands are being placed. The FA
condition most likely being tested in this scenario is:
Question: Tangible.
Answer:
When observing a functional analysis being conducted, a client is provided access to an iPad each time
he breaks a pencil. The FA condition most likely being implemented here is:
Question: Alone.
Answer:
To test the automatic reinforcement hypothesis in a functional analysis, one should make sure to include
this condition:
Question: Attention and control/play.
Answer:
If one assumes attention is maintaining a behavior as hypothesized after gathering indirect information
and ABC data, one should then conduct a FA that includes at least the two following conditions:
Question: Identify the function of an individual's behavior.
Answer:
Functional analyses such as the single contingency analyses are used to: Demonstrate all behaviors are
maintained by attention. Demonstrate all self-injurious behaviors are automatically reinforced. Identify
the function of an individual's behavior. Determine the feelings causing the behavior.
Question: All of the above
Answer:
A consideration to keep in mind with the alone condition is: Due to attention being withheld and the
possibility of faulty stimulus control, high frequency of a target behavior in this condition may suggest
an attention function rather than an automatic function. It may not be necessary to test this condition if an
automatic function is not hypothesized. One must make sure that the proper materials for gathering data
are available, given that the client is to be alone (for example, one-way mirror, video camera, et cetera).
