QUESTIONS AND VERIFIED
CORRECT ANSWERS
GRADED A+ [LATEST] 100%
GUARANTEED PASS
ex) decreasing SIB
social validity of interventions - CORRECT ANSWER-refers to the acceptability of a behavior
change procedure
an evaluation of the acceptability to laypersons or clients of particular behavior change tactics
relative to alternative treatments
social validity of outcomes - CORRECT ANSWER-refers to the magnitude (or significance of)
behavior change
ex) reducing aggression by 50%
methods for establishing socially valid goals - CORRECT ANSWER-securing input of the client
and/or stakeholder, consulting an expert on the relevant skill or behavior, observing the
performance of a normative sample, and empirically determining the level of performance
required for success in target settings
methods for determining if an outcome is socially valid - CORRECT ANSWER-asking for the
judgement of an expert, comparing the post-intervention performance to the behavior of
individuals who are competent with the skill or behavior (normative sample), testing for success
, across natural settings, completing a standardized assessment, and soliciting opinions of the
client and/or caregivers
acceptability - CORRECT ANSWER-The ___________ of treatment methods to clients and
stakeholders can be influenced by factors such as whether they had input in planning the
treatment, the severity of the behavior, the number of previously unsuccessful alternative
treatments, who applies them, how they are implemented, and the relative ease with which
they can be faithfully implemented
build on existing strengths - CORRECT ANSWER-when addressing an individual's skill deficits in
particular areas of functioning, it is often advisable to...
behavioral cusp - CORRECT ANSWER-skills that facilitate the development of more complex
behaviors and provide access to new reinforcers, contingencies, and environments
it is more likely that a skill will maintain and lead to new skills if it is likely to be reinforced by
many people in the individual's social environment
effort - CORRECT ANSWER-the efficacy of the functionally equivalent behavior is affected by the
___________ required to perform the response
response effort - CORRECT ANSWER-an influencing factor in response allocation and needs to
be considered in selecting a replacement behavior
too quickly - CORRECT ANSWER-Because functional communication training does not alter the
MO that evoked the problem behavior, care must be used in thinning the reinforcement after
the communication behavior is established. If reinforcement is thinned _________
_____________, the problem behavior may recur.
replacement behaviors - CORRECT ANSWER-should be:
