______________, or _____________.
A. frequency, duration or intensity
B. "rate, length, force"
C. "frequency, rate, duration"
D. all the above - ✔✔A
✔✔_______________ is when a previously extinguished behavior occurs again in the
future.
A. Impromptu recovery
B. Voluntary recovery
C. Spontaneous recovery
D. Impulsive recovery - ✔✔C
✔✔A behavior will decrease more quickly after continuous reinforcement rather than
intermittent reinforcement
A. TRUE
,B. FALSE - ✔✔A
✔✔In extinction of a positively reinforced behavior, the ______________ is no longer
delivered after the behavior.
A. reinforcer
B. baseline
C. dependent variable
D. antecedent - ✔✔A
✔✔When using differential reinforcement to reduce problem behavior, the clinician
provides _________ for appropriate behavior and __________ for problem behavior.
A. "reinforcement; punishment"
B. "punishment; withholds reinforcement (extinction)"
C. "reinforcement; reprimands"
D. reinforcement; withholds reinforcement (extinction)" - ✔✔D
✔✔If you are using a differential reinforcement procedure, you are using extinction. This
means you ignore the client when they engage in problem behavior as long as the
behavior does not escalate to a crisis behavior (continuos severe aggression, property
destruction, self injurious behavior)
A. TRUE
B. FALSE - ✔✔A
✔✔Your client often engages in aggression when you place a demand on him (e.g., tell
him to sit at the table, clean up, etc.). The behavior intervention plan includes a DRA
and provides instructions on how to reinforce compliance (e.g., when he does sit down
or clean up, give him access to a favorite toy). What is missing?
A. Description of a punishment procedure
B. Instructions on what the parents should do
C. Description of an extinction procedure
D. Description of reinforcement procedure - ✔✔C
✔✔What are the essential components of a skill acquisition program:
A. Target Goal
B. Data Collection Method
C. Teaching procedures
D. All of the above - ✔✔D
✔✔Which teaching procedure is therapist directed, structured, and uses contrived
reinforcers?
, A. Natural environment teaching
B. Discrete Trial Training
C. Shaping
D. Differential reinforcement - ✔✔B
✔✔What teaching procedure uses the ABC contingency to teach goals?
A. Natural environment teaching
B. Discrete Trial Training
C. No-No Prompting
D. Both A and B - ✔✔D
✔✔RBT's can deviate from the plan or design their own interventions.
A. TRUE
B. FALSE - ✔✔B
✔✔The most effective interventions combine both NET and DTT
A. TRUE
B. FALSE - ✔✔A
✔✔Stimulus control is when a response is more likely to occur in the presence of a
certain stimulus
A. TRUE
B. FALSE - ✔✔A
✔✔You put three pictures on the table in front of your client: a car, a block, and a dog.
Then, you say "Point to dog." If your client points to the dog you say "YAY!" and give
them a preferred toy. If they point to the car or the block, you do not say anything and
move on to another trial. This lesson (delivering reinforcement for the correct response,
no reinforcement for incorrect response) will result in:
A. Stimulus fading
B. Stimulus control
C. Response control
D. Response analysis - ✔✔B
✔✔When Julie sees her friend Carlos, she says "Carlos!" and Carlos looks at Julie and
says "Hi, Julie!" When Julie sees her friend Tina, she says "Carlos!" and Tina does not
look at Julie or say hi. These consequences will eventually lead to Julie only saying
"Carlos" when Carlos is present, meaning her response of saying "Carlos" is now under
stimulus control.
