Question 1

social positive reinforcement

Answer 1

When a positively reinforcing consequence is delivered by another person after the target behavior, and as a result the behavior is more likely to occur.

Question 2

When a positively reinforcing consequence is delivered by another person after the target behavior, and as a result the behavior is more likely to occur.

Answer 2

social positive reinforcement

Question 3

social negative reinforcement

Answer 3

When another person terminates an aversive interaction, task, or activity after the occurrence of a target behavior, and as a result, the behavior is more likely to occur.

Question 4

When another person terminates an aversive interaction, task, or activity after the occurrence of a target behavior, and as a result, the behavior is more likely to occur.

Answer 4

social negative reinforcement

Question 5

automatic positive reinforcement

Answer 5

When the behavior produces a positively reinforcing consequence automatically, and the behavior is strengthened, the behavior is said to be maintained by automatic positive reinforcement.

Question 6

When the behavior produces a positively reinforcing consequence automatically, and the behavior is strengthened, the behavior is said to be maintained by automatic positive reinforcement.

Answer 6

automatic positive reinforcement

Question 7

automatic negative reinforcement

Answer 7

Automatic negative reinforcement occurs when the target behavior automatically reduces or eliminates an aversive stimulus as a consequence of the behavior and the behavior is strengthened.

Question 8

Automatic negative reinforcement occurs when the target behavior automatically reduces or eliminates an aversive stimulus as a consequence of the behavior and the behavior is strengthened.

Answer 8

automatic negative reinforcement

Question 9

indirect assessment

Answer 9

Assessment that relies on information from others. The information on the problem behavior, antecedents, and consequences is not derived from direct observation but from retrospective report in interviews and questionnaires.

interviews are the most common assessment method used

Question 10

Assessment that relies on information from others. The information on the problem behavior, antecedents, and consequences is not derived from direct observation but from retrospective report in interviews and questionnaires.

Answer 10

indirect assessment

Question 11

direct assessment

Answer 11

Behavioral assessment involving direct observation and recording of the behavior as it occurs. Direct assessment may also refer to direct observation and recording of the antecedents and consequences of the behavior.

Question 12

Behavioral assessment involving direct observation and recording of the behavior as it occurs.

Answer 12

direct assessment

Question 13

ABC observation

Answer 13

A functional assessment method involving direct observation of the antecedents, the target behavior, and the consequences of the behavior. Typically conducted in the natural environment where the target behavior occurs.

Question 14

A functional assessment method involving direct observation of the antecedents, the target behavior, and the consequences of the behavior. Typically conducted in the natural environment where the target behavior occurs.

Answer 14

ABC observation

Question 15

checklist method

Answer 15

a list with columns for possible antecedents, behaviors, and consequences.

Question 16

a list with columns for possible antecedents, behaviors, and consequences.

Answer 16

checklist method

Question 17

functional assessment

Answer 17

The process of generating information on the events preceding and following the behavior in an attempt to determine which antecedents and consequences are reliably associated with the occurrence of the behavior.

Question 18

The process of generating information on the events preceding and following the behavior in an attempt to determine which antecedents and consequences are reliably associated with the occurrence of the behavior.

Answer 18

functional assessment

Question 19

functional analysis

Answer 19

A functional assessment method in which environmental events (antecedents and consequences of the behavior) are manipulated to demonstrate a functional relationship between the environmental events and the behavior.

Question 20

A functional assessment method in which environmental events (antecedents and consequences of the behavior) are manipulated to demonstrate a functional relationship between the environmental events and the behavior.

Answer 20

functional analysis

Question 21

exploratory functional analysis

Answer 21

A type of functional analysis in which the behavior analyst may not have a hypothesis about the reinforcing consequence maintaining the problem behavior and is exploring a range of possibilities in the functional analysis. An exploratory functional analysis typically includes three or four test conditions and a control condition. In each test condition, the behavior analyst presents an EO and a possible reinforcer for the problem behavior and, in a control condition, presents an AO and withholds the possible reinforcers.

Question 22

A type of functional analysis in which the behavior analyst may not have a hypothesis about the reinforcing consequence maintaining the problem behavior and is exploring a range of possibilities in the functional analysis.

Answer 22

exploratory functional analysis

Question 23

hypothesis-testing functional analysis

Answer 23

A type of functional analysis in which the goal is not to evaluate all possible functions, but to confirm or disconfirm the hypothesis. In this type of functional analysis, one condition (the test condition) presents the hypothesized EO, and when the problem behavior occurs, presents the hypothesized reinforcer. The other condition (the control condition) presents the hypothesized AO, and if the problem behavior occurs, does not provide the hypothesized reinforcer.

Question 24

A type of functional analysis in which the goal is not to evaluate all possible functions, but to confirm or disconfirm the hypothesis.

Answer 24

hypothesis-testing functional analysis

Question 25

What is the difference between function and topography and why is it important?

Answer 25

function: function of the behavior
topography: form of the behavior

Question 26

What are the pros and cons of indirect assessment?

Answer 26

pros: quick
cons: relies on recall

Question 27

What are the pros and cons of direct assessment?

Answer 27

pros: see the onset of the behavior
cons: takes more time and effort

Question 28

What are the pros and cons of functional analysis?

Answer 28

pros: demonstrates a functional relationship between the controlling variables and the problem behavior.
cons: time, effort, and professional expertise needed

Question 29

What questions might you ask for indirect assessment?

Answer 29

Describe the behavior?

When, where, and with whom are the behaviors most likely?

What does the person get from the behavior?

Question 30

What questions might you ask for consequences?

Answer 30

What happens after the problem behavior occurs?

What do you do when the problem behavior occurs?

What changes after the problem behaviors occurs?

What does the child get after the problem behavior occurs?

Question 31

What questions might you ask for antecedents?

Answer 31

When does the problem behavior occur?

What activities precede the behavior?

What do people say before the behavior?

When, where, and with whom is the behavior least likely to occur in?
