Practice Questions & Key Concepts Review
1. he suspected function of crying is attention. During the attention condition of
g g g g g g g g g g g
theFA,thismeansthateachinstanceofcryingis:Reinforcedwithattention
g g g g g g g g g g g g g
2. The suspected function of crying is escape. During the contingent escape
g g g g g g g g g g
condition during the FA, this means that each instance of crying is: Abreakfrom thetask
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
3. The suspected function of crying is escape. During the play condition during the
g g g g g g g g g g g g
FA, this means that each instance of crying is:: ignored
g g g g g g g g g g
4. The results of a functional analysis indicated that the learner cries when they want
g g g g g g g g g g g g g
attention in class. A functionally equivalent intervention may be:: Teach the learner to
g g g g g g g g g g g g g
request for attention
g g g
5. The results of a functional analysis indicated that the learner has outbursts (typically
g g g g g g g g g g g g
jokes) when they want attention from the class. A functionally equiv-alent intervention
g g g g g g g g g g g g
may be:: Allowing the learner to earn joke time by being quit during lessons

6. According to Hanley, there are three main types of assessment: [indirect], g g g g g g g g g g
[descriptive],andfunctionalanalysis.:Indirect,descriptive
g g g g g g
7. One problem with indirect assessments is that the analyst never even
g g g g g g g g g g
the behavior.: observe g g
8. Hanley suggested the first step to a functional analysis is to g the g g g g g g g g g g
stakeholders -avoiding numerical or yes/noresponses.:Interview
g g g g g g g g
9. AccordingtoHanley,amythofthefunctionalanalysisisthatittakestoo long; g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
however, he indicated that the
g assessment often takes
g g g g g g g
longer because the practitioner must wait around for the problem behavior to
g g g g g g g g g g g g
occur.:descriptive
g g
10. In an FA, if the condition is "contingent attention", the consequence deliv-ered
g g g g g g g g g g g
should be
g .: attention g g
11. Becausedifferentbehaviorsthatlookquitedifferentcanservethesame g g g g g g g g g g
function, and behavior of the same form can serve different functions under
g g g g g g g g g g g g
different conditions, the
g of a behavior often reveals little useful
g g g g g g g g g
information about the condition: topography

12. In an FA, if the condition is "contingent
g g ", the consequence should
