Continuous reinforcers - CORRECT ANSWER - reinforcement is provided for each occurrence
of behavior.
Define a prompt: - CORRECT ANSWER - A cue or assistance to encourage a desired response
and used to provide assistance to increase client success and reduce frustration with learning new
skills/behaviors.
Define behavior: - CORRECT ANSWER - The activity of living organisms; human behavior
includes everything that people do.
define environment: - CORRECT ANSWER - the conglomerate of real circumstances in which
the organism or references part of the organism exists; behavior cannot occur in the absence of
environment.
Define Extinction: - CORRECT ANSWER - Discontinuation of a reinforcement of a previously
reinforced behavior; the primary effect is a decrease in the frequency of behavior until it reaches
a pre-reinforced level or ultimately ceases to occur.
Define Stimulus control: - CORRECT ANSWER - A situation in which the frequency, latency,
duration, or amplitude of behavior is altered by the presence or absence of an antecedent
stimulus.
Deprivation - CORRECT ANSWER - increasing the effectiveness of a reinforcer by withholding
access to a reinforcer for a specified period of time prior to a session
Differential Reinforcement- - CORRECT ANSWER - reinforcing a desired replacement
behavior with withholding or masking reinforcement for an undesirable stereotypic behavior
,Distracter Trial - CORRECT ANSWER - Presenting a target along with distracter(s) stimuli
DTT - CORRECT ANSWER - based on positive reinforcement where each skill/behavior is
taught in its most simple, individual components (discrete steps)
Duration is... - CORRECT ANSWER - the time from when the behavior begins to when it ends.
Ethically speaking, why is it inappropriate to teach a 16 year old male to play with dolls? -
CORRECT ANSWER - it is not age appropriate
Every time his mother removes items from him, a client engages in a tantrum. Mom tries to
ignore him but after around five minutes mom gives him back the item she removed and the
tantrum immediately stops. What function is most likely maintaining the tantrums? - CORRECT
ANSWER - Social Positive (attention/access)
Examples of unconditioned reinforcers include which of the following? Circle all that apply. -
CORRECT ANSWER - Skittles, Juice, sleeping
Expanded Trial - CORRECT ANSWER - presenting one target along with 2 more previously
mastered targets
Extinction Burst- - CORRECT ANSWER - a predictable, temporary increase in the rate and
intensity of a behavior when an extinction procedure is first used.
Extinction- - CORRECT ANSWER - reinforcement of a previously reinforced behavior is
discontinued resulting in a decrease in the frequency of behavior.
Generalization/Maintenance - CORRECT ANSWER - a target is repetitively answered correctly
across time in various settings and with various materials, stimuli, and people.
, If a client can perform a skill in a different context then it was taught, that skill has... -
CORRECT ANSWER - Generalized
Inter-response time is... - CORRECT ANSWER - The time between the end of one instance of
the behavior and the beginning of the next occurrence of behavior.
Intermittent Reinforcement: - CORRECT ANSWER - some, but not all, occurrences of behavior
are being reinforced consisting of
Latency is... - CORRECT ANSWER - the time between the presentation of a stimulus and the
occurrence of a behavior
List one strategy for promoting generalization. - CORRECT ANSWER - Introduce natural
contingencies.
List one strategy for promoting maintenance - CORRECT ANSWER - Performing a skill after a
portion or all has been terminated.
List the four functions of behavior: - CORRECT ANSWER - Social positive (attention/access),
Social negative (escaping), Automatic Positive (sensory stimulation), Automatic Negative (pain
attenuation)
List three examples of conditioned reinforcers. - CORRECT ANSWER - Tokens, social praise,
toys.
Mass Trial - CORRECT ANSWER - Presenting a target alone repetitively (3-10 trials)
Momentary time sampling is.... - CORRECT ANSWER - when the behavior must be occurring
at the end of the interval to be recorded.
