Unit 6-2

Question 1

B-01: Use the dimensions of applied behavior analysis (Baer, Wolf, & Risley, 1968) to evaluate whether interventions are behavior analytic in nature
B-03: Systematically arrange independent variables to demonstrate the effects on dependent variables

Answer 1

Tasks Common to All Plans The 7 Dimensions and The Analytic Approach

Question 2

C-01: State and plan for the possible unwanted effects of reinforcement
D-01: Use positive and negative reinforcement
D-02: Use appropriate parameters and schedules of reinforcement**
D-21: Use differential reinforcement (e.g., DRO, DRA, DRI, DRL, DRH)
(** What about D-19?)

Answer 2

Tasks Common to All Plans Consequences

Question 3

D-03: Use prompts and prompt fading
E-01: Use interventions based on manipulation of antecedents, such as motivating operations and discriminative stimuli
G-08: Identify and make environmental changes that reduce the need for behavior analysis services

Answer 3

Tasks Common to All Plans Antecedents

Question 4

G-01: Review records and available data at the outset of the case

G-02: Consider biological/medical variables that may be affecting the client

Answer 4

Tasks Common to All Plans Assessment

Question 5

A-09: Evaluate the accuracy and reliability of measurement procedures
H-01: Select a measurement system to obtain representative data given the dimensions of the behavior and the logistics of observing and recording

Answer 5

Tasks Common to All Plans Measurement

Question 6

I-01: Define behavior in observable and measureable terms

I-02: Define environmental variables in observable and measurable terms

Answer 6

Tasks Common to All Plans Observable and Measurable Events

Question 7

J-01: State intervention goals in observable and measurable terms
J-02: Identify potential interventions based on assessment results and the best available scientific evidence
Select intervention strategies based on:
 J-03: task analysis
 J-04: client preferences
 J-05: client’s current repertoire
 J-06: supporting environments
 J-07: environmental and resource
constraints
 J-08: social validity of the intervention

J-09: Identify and address practical and ethical considerations when using experimental designs to demonstrate treatment effectiveness
J-10: When a behavior is to be decreased, select an appropriate alternative behavior to be established or increased
J-11: Program for stimulus and response generalization
J-12: Program for maintenance
J-13: Select behavioral cusps as goals for intervention when appropriate
J-14: Arrange instructional procedures to promote generative learning (i.e., derived relations)
J-15: Base decision making on data displayed in various forms

Answer 7

J Tasks: Intervention

It All Applies to Behavior Plans
