Escape
Tangible
Automatic

Question 10

Attention Function

Answer 10

Social Positive Reinforcement; Attention From Others

Question 11

Escape Function

Answer 11

Social Negative Reinforcement; Removal of Attention of Others

Question 12

Tangible Function

Answer 12

Access to materials or activity

Question 13

Automatic Reinforcement

Answer 13

Not socially mediated;
May be positive or negative reinforcement;
Behavior itself results in reinforcement

Question 14

Brief Functional Assessment (FA)

Answer 14

Only 1-2, 5-10 minute sessions are conducted for each condition

Question 15

Conditional Probability

Answer 15

Likelihood that a behavior will occur in a given circumstance

Question 16

Contingency Reversal

Answer 16

Exchanging the reinforcement contingencies for two typographically different responses

Question 17

Contingency Space Analysis

Answer 17

Graphic display of the probability of one event given the occurrence of another event

Question 18

Functional Behavior Analysis (FBA)

Answer 18

Systematic method of assessment that obtains information about the functions of a behavior

Question 19

Functionally Equivalent

Answer 19

Behaviors produce the same consequences

Question 20

Interview-Informed Synthesized Contingency Analysis

Answer 20

Variation of a functional analysis (FA) designed to increase efficiency

Question 21

Latency-Based Functional Analysis

Answer 21

Each session is terminated as soon as a problem behavior occurs;
Index of problem behavior is latency

Question 22

Trial-Based Functional Analysis

Answer 22

A series of trials are interspersed among classroom activities
