Question 17

Alternative bx benefited caregivers and not client

Answer 17

Topography-based DRA

Question 18

Contingent relations not broken Bx did not maintain or generalizeProblem bx hidden under tight stimulus control

Answer 18

3 limitations of the topography-based treatment model

Question 19

Model for treating problem bx based on the function

Answer 19

Function-based treatment model

Question 20

An appropriate form of communication is taught to replace problem bx

Answer 20

Functional Communication Training (FCT)

Question 21

FCT –Stage 1

Answer 21

Conduct a functional assessment or analysis

Question 22

FCT –Stage 2

Answer 22

Train and differentially reinforce a communicative response

Question 23

FCT –Stage 3

Answer 23

Transfer control to real-life settings and persons

Question 24

More specific words taught and results in a larger speaker repertoire

Answer 24

Mand training

Question 25

Incorporate multiple trainers & settingsInclude like stimuliSequential modification

Answer 25

3 strategies for promoting generalization in FCT

Question 26

Is our subject matter bx alone?

Answer 26

No; includes operants, respondents, contingencies, functional relations

Question 27

Are the “functions of bx” only“attention, tangibles, escape, and automatic reinforcement”?

Answer 27

No; typical statements about “function” are oversimplifications

Question 28

Should antecedents have only a first name?

Answer 28

No; antecedents only exist in relation to consequences (last name)

Question 29

Can we neglect context?

Answer 29

No; behavior changes in relation to context

Question 30

Are we effective if we only change behavior?

Answer 30

No; change real-world contingencies to achieve meaningful outcomes

Question 31

Manipulation of a stimulus produces a reliable &predictable change in a response

Answer 31

Functional relation

Question 32

Probabilistic Nonlinear Complex Allows for predictions

Answer 32

4 characteristics of functional relations

Question 33

Not cause-and-effect or deterministic

Answer 33

Functional relations are probabilistic

Question 34

Compared to nonlinear equations in calculus

Answer 34

Functional relations are nonlinear

Question 35

Functional relations change with respect to context

Answer 35

Functional relations are complex

Question 36

What an organism“does”and “why”

Answer 36

Everyday usage of the term function

Question 37

A mathematical relation between stimulus classes and response classes

Answer 37

Scientific usage of the term function

Question 38

Problem with using the “everyday definition of function”

Answer 38

Practitioners use teleological explanations

Question 39

One event depends on another

Answer 39

Contingency

Question 40

Derive effects on bx from a past history of differential availability with a consequence

Answer 40

Discriminative stimuli

Question 41

Derive effects on bx from their value-altering effect on consequences

Answer 41

Motivating operations

Question 42

Consequence leads to the development of that discriminative stimulus

Answer 42

Last name of discriminative stimuli

Question 43

The consequence whose value is being altered

Answer 43

Last name of motivating operations
