Unit 6: Quiz Flashcards
True or False: A timer is set every 10 minutes. When the timer goes off, your client receives praise from the implementer and is given a 2 minute break from the current activity, regardless of what it is. If the client has engaged in the target behavior of biting during the 10 minutes, he doesn’t get the break or praise and the timer is reset. This is example of NCR.
False
Which of the following is not an example of an antecedent intervention that could prevent occurrences of a target behavior maintained by escape?
Token System (consequential intervention)
Mace et al. (2010) showed that the use of a DRA intervention…
increases the resistance to change of problematic behavior
Which two elements did Carr and Durand (1985) define as necessary to have successful FCT?
A complete FBA to identify behavior function and using the identified reinforcers to develop an alternative replacement behavior
The use of evidence-based interventions suggest…
selecting interventions that are supported by experimental research.
You would like to implement an interval DRO procedure with on of your students with autism to decrease skin picking (so that you can get the student to attend to work and reduce self-harm). You conduct some baseline observations and find that the student stops skin picking for about 2 minutes on average. What would an appropriate initial DRO interval be?
1 minute, 45 seconds
True or False: All differential reinforcement procedures combine the use of reinforcement and extinction.
True
True or False: When developing a treatment plan, FBA, or clinical recommendations, it is not necessary to consider context (or changing environmental variables) for goals or behavior.
False
Your client demonstrates a behavior of hitting others with a hypothesized function of escape from non-preferred tasks in the FBA you just finished. They don’t have any formal functional communication method, and just lead people to what they want in all settings currently. They are able to point, grab items, hand items to others, and make vocal sounds, but vocal and physical imitation skills still require support. What is a possible FCR that you could teach your client?
Attach a card that says “break” to common items where hitting may occur and the client can touch it or grab it, such as a desk at school.
True or False: When using a high-p sequence effectively behaviors should be selected from the current repertoire and requests should be presented at a very slow pace
False
