BEHV 5612 Module 1 - Study Guide: Some Current Dimensions of
Applied Behavior Analysis (Baer et al.) || with 100% Correct
Answers.
1. According to Baer, Wolf, and Risley (1968), why and how are target behaviors selected for
intervention?
- Target behaviors), stimuli, and/or the organism under study are chosen because of their
importance to the
clinician.
- Target behavior(s), stimuli, and/or the organism under study are chosen because of their
importance to man and society, rather than their importance to theory.
- Target behaviors), stimuli, and/or the organism under study are chosen because of their
importance to
theory.
- Target behavior(s), stimuli, and/or the organism under study are chosen based on their being
featured, or
noted, within the assessment tool used during intake and assessment. correct answers Target
behavior(s), stimuli, and/or the organism under study are chosen because of their importance to
man and society, rather than their importance to theory.
The following description of problem behavior is technological as defined by the authors.
Scenario: Student X engages in problem behavior when instructed to terminate preferred
activities.
Problem behavior is defined as crying, protesting, flopping, and kicking feet. Behavior
modification plan is to teach appropriate social skills and teach tolerance.
- True
- False correct answers False
Reliability is related to assessment
, - True
- False correct answers True
What is the primary question asked in applied research?
- How difficult will it be to treat problem behavior?
- How immediately important is this behavior or these stimuli to this subject?
- Will insurance cover the cost of services?
- How immediately important is the behavior or these stimuli to the clinician's interests? correct
answers How immediately important is this behavior or these stimuli to this subject?
Baer, Wolf, and Risley (1968) provide a useful tactic for evaluating behavioral attributes. What
do they suggest?
- Was behavior changed and whose behavior was changed?
- Were data collection systems easy to use?
- Was the protocol easy for staff to implement?
- Did the client receive ancillary services outside of treatment? correct answers Was behavior
changed and whose behavior was changed?
When has an experimenter or clinician successfully demonstrated an analysis of behavior?
- when data show an increasing trend
- when the experimenter or clinician believe they have accurately guessed the function of
behavior
- when the experimenter or clinician can successfully exercise control over behavior
- when the experimenter or clinician have a single data point showing improvement in targeted
behavior correct answers when the experimenter or clinician can successfully exercise control
over behavior
