EDF 6223 Exam already graded A

EDF 6223 Exam 2 2024/2025 already graded A+ With an understanding of the imitation process, applied behavior analysts can use imitation as an intervention to: a.) Eliminate Old Behaviors b.) Evoke New behaviors c.) Create teaching sequences d.) Reinforce appropriate behaviors Regardless of the behavior modeled, the objective of imitation training is for the learner to do what? a.) What the model does b.) What the trainer asked or commanded c.) What behavior fits the situation d.) What behavior will receive reinforcement True or False - Task Analysis involves breaking a complex skill into smaller, teachable units, the product of which is a series of sequentially order steps or behaviors. How should a task analysis be individualized? True or False - Chaining can be used to add behaviors to an existing behavioral repertoire? A behavior chain with a limited hold means: a.) The number of steps in the chain is limited. b.)The learner must "hold" his/her responses for a specified period of time. c.)The entire chain or steps within the chain must be completed in a given period of time. d.)Accuracy of the performance of steps is not important. What is the probability of reinforcement when utilizing an extinction procedure? a) O% b) 15% c) 50% d) Variable An immediate increase in frequency and/or amplitude of the response after the removal of the maintaining reinforcer is called a. Extinction burst b. Reinforcement c. Noncontingent reinforcement d. Punishment The reappearance of a behavior after it has diminished to its pre-reinforced level and/or stopped entirely is called: a) Extinction burst b) Spontaneous recovery c) Differential reinforcement d) Procedural extinction Differential reinforcement always includes what two principles of behavior? a. Reinforcement and punishment b. Reinforcement and stimulus control c. Reinforcement and extinction d. Positive and negative reinforcement A DRL intervention is useful when the practitioner wants to: a. Get rid of a target behavior all together b. Teach a new response to replace the problem behavior c. Decrease the overall rate of a problem behavior, but not get rid of it all together d. Increase the overall rate of a target behavior NCR uses three distinct procedures that identify and deliver stimuli with known reinforcing properties. What are they? Functional communication training is considered to be: a. Consequent intervention b. Punishment strategy c. Antecedent intervention d. Behavioral momentum technique Behaviors selected for a high-p request sequence should: a) Be a part of the learner's current repertoire b) Be new behavior(s) the learner has to acquire c) Have a very long duration of occurrence d) Be those behaviors with which the learner is not compliant To effectively implement a high-p request sequence, it is important to:a) Select behaviors not in the learner's current behavior repertoire b) Not acknowledge compliance c) Use reinforcers with limited reinforcing value d) Present requests in a rapid sequence Noncontingent reinforcement involves the presentation of: a) Stimuli with unknown reinforcing properties that are delivered on a fixed-time or variable time schedule independent of the learner's behavior b) Stimuli with known reinforcing properties that are delivered on a fixed-time or variable-time schedule independent of the learner's behavior c) Stimuli with known reinforcing properties that are delivered on a fixed-ratio or variable-ratio schedule independent of the learner's behavior d) Stimuli with known reinforcing properties that are delivered on a fixed-time or variable-time schedule dependent on the learner's behavior A contingency contract: a)Is a verbal agreement among two individuals b)Specifies how two people will behave toward each other c)Often causes scapegoating among learners and peers d)Depends largely on the use of punishment for its effectiveness The primary reason one might consider using a level system with a token system is that: a) Doing so can foster self-management b) Doing so makes it easier to withdraw the token economy c) Level systems are more preferred for all learners d) Level systems are easier to manage Token economies often need to be: a) Complex b) Individualized c) Maintained forever d) All of these When selecting backup reinforcers: a) Consider ethical and legal issues b) It is a good idea to use basic need items (e.g., lunch) as a reinforcer c) Keep the pool of backup reinforcers small d) Never use edibles A teacher says to his class: "Melissa is working on remembering to follow instructions when I give them. Melissa is going to keep track of whether or not she follows my instructions. If she follows 90% of my instructions today (or better), our whole class will watch a movie at the end of the day." What type of group contingency is this? a) Independent b) Dependent c) Interdependent d) None of these Group contingencies can: a) Lighten the workload for the practitioner b) Save time c) Create problems with learners d) All of these How could a learner sabotage a group contingency? a) By purposefully not meeting the performance criterion so that no one gets the reinforcer b) By not showing up for school on a given day c) By urging peers to participate in the program d) By congratulating peers who are meeting the criterion An interdependent group contingency is most useful if: a) One wants to change the behavior of one person or a small group of individuals b) One wants to differentially reinforce individuals for appropriate behavior c) One wants to change everyone's performance d) All of these The personal application of behavior change tactics that produces a desired change in behavior is: a) Self-management b) Managing behaviors c) Behavior management d) Behavior modification Self-management can help individuals to: a) Break bad habits and replace with good ones b) Accomplish difficult tasks c) Achieve personal goals d) All of these Self-monitoring is best defined as: a) A procedure whereby persons observe their own behavior and record only the occurrence of the target behavior b) A procedure whereby persons observe the behavior of someone else and systematically record the occurrence or nonoccurrence of the target behavior c) A procedure whereby persons observe their behavior systematically and record the occurrence or nonoccurrence of the target behavior d) A procedure whereby persons observe their behavior and someone else systematically records the occurrence or nonoccurrence of the target behavior. Suggested guidelines for effective and efficient self-monitoring include: a) Make materials cumbersome and sophisticated b) Never provide supplementary cues or prompts; this will make the individual become dependent on the prompts or cues rather than the target behavior c) Self-monitor the most important dimension of the target behavior d) Do not reinforce accurate selfmonitoring A type of self-management tactic that typically involves the use of self-awareness training, competing response training, and motivation techniques is: a) Self-Instruction b) Habit Reversal c) Massed Practice d) None of these This type of self-management tactic involves self-generated verbal responses, covert or overt, that function as response prompts for a desired behavior. a) Self-instruction b) Self-directed systematic desensitization c) Habit reversal d) None of these
