C05 Measure Form and Strength of Behavior

Question 1

The topography of behavior is

Answer 1

Independent of function and thus different topographies of behavior may serve the same function

Question 2

The topography of behavior is

Answer 2

Responsive to consequences, and thus malleable

Question 3

The topography of behavior is

Answer 3

All the above:
A measurable feature of a behavior.
Responsive to consequences and thus malleable.
Independent of function.

Question 4

To set a T-post for a fence… if data were collected on the skill, which of the following statements about measurement would be accurate?

Answer 4

Form is primarily involved in placing the post perpendicular to the ground at a 90-degree angle.

Question 5

To set a T post for a fence… if data were collected on this skill, which of the following statements about measurement would be accurate?

Answer 5

All the above

Question 6

The magnitude of a behavior refers to the

Answer 6

Force or intensity

Question 7

The intensity or strength of a behavior is important when the desired target behavior

Answer 7

Has to be performed at or above/below a certain intensity

Question 8

Which is an example of a measure of a behavior’s magnitude?

Answer 8

Turning a wrench with enough pressure to loosen a bolt

Question 9

The topography of behavior is

Answer 9

A measurable feature of a behavior

Question 10

Which is an example of a measure of a behavior’s magnitude?

Answer 10

Whispering softly in a concert so other are not bothered

Question 11

A child is learning to write the alphabet in cursive. Which is an example of a measure of topography?

Answer 11

The number of letters that stay in the appropriate lines of the hand writing paper

Question 12

To set a T-post for a fence… if data were collected on this skill, which of the following statements about measurement would be accurate?

Answer 12

Magnitude is primarily involved in initially setting the T-post

Question 13

Which is an example of a measure of a behavior’s magnitude?

Answer 13

All the above:
Whispering softly
Turning a wrench to loosen a bolt.
Deadlifting a 200 pound barbell

Question 14

The topography of a behavior refers to

Answer 14

The physical form or shape of the behavior

Question 15

Which is an example of a behavior’s topography?

Answer 15

Turning the saw 45 degrees to cut wood that makes a 90 degree angle at the junction

Question 16

A child does a shape sorter. If data were collected on this skill, which of the following statements about measurement would be accurate?

Answer 16

Topography is primarily involved in aligning the shape to match the opening and magnitude is primarily involved in pushing the shape into the opening.
