EDF 6221 EXAM 1 2025 QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS.
1. Challenging behaviors that serve as
function are behaviors that allow an individual to get away from
things they do not want -correct answer - escape
2. Behaviors that have an function are behaviors that
continue to occur because they help an individual get attention
from others, a form of positive reinforcement -correct answer -
attention
3. Learners that engage in behaviors that result in obtaining
preferred items or activities as a form of positive reinforcement
is considered a function -correct answer - tangible
4. BIPs or behavior reduction plans must clearly indicate who on the
treatment team is responsible for implementing which aspects of the
plan. These individuals are called -
correct answer
- persons responsible
5. of target behaviors must be
objective, clear, and complete regarding the target and replacement
behaviors -correct answer - operational definitions
,6. Positive reinforcement is when something is
to a person's environment that results in a future strengthening of
that behavior - correct answer - added
7. is where the effectiveness of a
reinforcer does not depend on a learning history. Instead, that
consequence is a reinforcer simply due to genetics and natural
selection in the evolution of species -correct answer - unconditioned
reinforcers
8. The most common way in which stimuli become conditioned
reinforcers by being with existing reinforcers -correct answer -
paired
9. Social negative reinforcement is also known as -correct answer - escape
10. T or F: Automatic positive reinforcement depends on the
actions of others -correct answer - False
11. Social positive reinforcement is also known as -correct
answer - attention
12. A discriminative stimulus signals the store is open for -correct answer
, - reinforcement
13. FBA interventions can consist of at least strategic
approaches
-correct answer - 3
14. There are main functions of behavior tested using
an FA - correct answer - 4
15. There are how many basic schedules of reinforcement? -
correct answer - 4
16. The same amount of time elapses when reinforcement is
delivered is called what? -correct answer - fixed interval
17. The same amount of reinforcement is delivered based on
number of responses is called what? -correct answer - fixed ratio
18. Reinforcement delivered based on an average of unit of time is
called what? -correct answer - variable interval
