SPCE 611 - Advanced Applied Behavior Analysis, Reading Quiz 3, Answered correctly.

Question 1 1 / 1 pts A child spent most of the classroom free time sitting on the floor rocking while waving a toy fan at eye level making the light coming from the window appear to “flicker”. Which form of an extinction procedure would be the most appropriate to use in this circumstance? Extinction of behavior maintained by... positive reinforcement negative reinforcement automatic reinforcement Question 2 1 / 1 pts Which behavior is likely to have the greatest resistance to extinction? Making jokes in math class is now being ignored like it had been it in science, social studies. and writing class The youth liked the peer attention but creating funny picture memes about the teacher was tedious Crying to get a toy that was being used by another student began when the child started preschool last week Tantrums had allowed the child to obtain candy from grandparents periodically for the past year or so Question 3 1 / 1 pts This study source was downloaded by from CourseH on :27:37 GMT -05:00 drink. Which form of an extinction procedure would be the most appropriate to use in this circumstance? Extinction of behavior maintained by positive reinforcement negative reinforcement automatic reinforcement Question 4 1 / 1 pts Which of the following are common misuses of the term extinction? (mark all that apply) referring to any decrease in behavior using extinction interchangeably with negative reinforcement confusing noncontingent reinforcement and extinction confusing noncontingent reinforcement and extinction Question 5 1 / 1 pts When a student was given a work sheet in class, the child whined and crawled under the desk. The student remained under the desk until the teacher removed the work sheet and provided no other work. Which form of an extinction procedure would be the most appropriate to use in this circumstance? Extinction of behavior maintained by... positive reinforcement negative reinforcement automatic reinforcement Question 6 1 / 1 pts Extinction procedures are contraindicated with behaviors that cause serious injury to the client. True False Question 7 1 / 1 pts If the behavior analyst does not have the ability to control all the client’s access to reinforcement, an extinction procedure should not be implemented. True False Question 8 1 / 1 pts Which statement describes extinction from the perspective of a behavior change tactic? provides zero probability of reinforcement for a previously reinforced behavior. the diminishing rate of a previously reinforced behavior when it no longer produces reinforcement. the functional relation between withholding the reinforcer and the diminishing rate of a behavior. Question 9 1 / 1 pts Extinction produces a rapid decrease in the target behavior. True False IncorrectQuestion 10 0 / 1 pts An extinction burst is the reoccurrence of a previously reinforced behavior when reinforcement for an alternative behavior is terminated. True False Correct answer IncorrectQuestion 11 0 / 1 pts What is the difference between DRI and DRA? DRI involves reinforcing a behavior that is incompatible with the problem behavior, whereas DRA involves reinforcing an alternative behavior that may not be incompatible DRA involves reinforcing anything other than the problem behavior, whereas DRI involves reinforcing any behavior that is incompatible with the problem behavior DRI involves reinforcing an alternative behavior that may not be incompatible with the problem behavior, whereas DRA involves reinforcing a behavior that is incompatible with the problem behavior WRONG ANSWER There is no difference between DRI and DRA Question 12 1 / 1 pts If using DRI to decrease Melinda’s hitting other children in the hallway, which behavior would be reinforced as Melinda walks down the hall? keeping hands in pockets saying “hi” to peers smiling at peers doing anything other than hitting peers Question 13 1 / 1 pts You are working with a young child with Rett syndrome who engages in very frequent self-injurious finger picking, hair pulling, and face scratching. You have observed that sitting on mom’s lap while playing with toys is reinforcing, so you decide to use this as the reinforcer. You implement a fixed-momentary DRO using a 5 second interval based on baseline data. Which of the following describes a fixed-momentary DRO procedure most accurately? TTeach the child to mand for “mom”. Set a timer for 5 seconds and at the end of 5 seconds, prompt this response. If the child says “mom”, allow play time with mom and toys Set a timer for 5 seconds. At the end of 5 seconds, the child can play with mom and toys if there is not finger picking, hair pulling, or face scratching at the that exact moment Set a timer for 5 seconds. At the end of 5 seconds the child can play with mom if there were very few instances of finger picking, hair pulling, or face scratching Teach the child to respond to a “fold hands” cue. Set a timer for 5 seconds and at the end of 5 seconds, prompt this response. If the child engages in “folds hands” correctly, allow play time with mom and toys Set a timer for 5 seconds. At the end of 5 seconds, the child can play with mom if there has been no finger picking, hair pulling, or face scratching during the 5 seconds IncorrectQuestion 14 0 / 1 pts Andrea, a 4-year-old nonverbal child, exhibits noncompliant behavior in the form of refusing to participate when asked to work on art activities at a table. You found that this is not a preferred activity and therefore, breaks from the task would be an effective reinforcer. Which of the following exemplifies an appropriate DRA procedure to use? Andrea is taught to say “break”. Andrea can leave the art table after she has completed the project and then says “break” WRONG ANSWER Set a timer for 10 seconds. Andrea can leave the art table if any behavior other than noncompliance occurs. If noncompliance occurs, Andrea must stay at the art table Set a limit on the number of times Andrea is allowed to refuse. If refusals are at or below the limit, Andrea can leave the art table. When the limit is exceeded, Andrea must stay at the art table Andrea can take a break and leave the table after one step of an art task is completed. Andrea must stay at the table if refusals occur Question 15 1 / 1 pts You would like to implement an interval DRO procedure with a student with autism to decrease hand flapping so that you can get the student to attend to work more consistently. You conduct baseline observations and find that the student stops hand flapping for about 2 minutes on average. What would an appropriate initial DRO interval be? 1 minute 2 minutes, 30 seconds 1 minute, 45 seconds 4 minutes Question 16 1 / 1 pts TRUE or FALSE. When designing a DRA or DRI intervention, it is a good idea to use the reinforcers that maintain problem behavior as the reinforcers for the alternative or incompatible behaviors True False Question 17 1 / 1 pts TRUE or FALSE. Reinforcing in-seat behavior for a child who frequently engages in out-of-seat behavior is an example of DRI True False Question 18 1 / 1 pts TRUE or FALSE. When selecting a DRA or DRI replacement response, one should select a behavior that is not in the learner’s current repertoire in order to avoid accidentally reinforcing something associated with the problem behavior. True False Question 19 1 / 1 pts TRUE or FALSE. Generally speaking, it is a good idea to use momentary DRO to begin your intervention and move to an interval DRO for maintenance purposes.
