Question 1

Antecedent Intervention

Answer 1

Implemented prior to and independent of the target behavior’s occurence

Question 2

Noncontingent Reinforcement

Answer 2

Antecedent intervention in which stimuli with known reinforcing properties are delivered on a fixed-time (FT) or variable-time (VT_ schedule independent of the learner’s behavior

Question 3

Fixed-Time Schedule

Answer 3

Means that the interval of time for the presentation of these stimuli remains the same from delivery to delivery

Question 4

Variable-Time Schedule

Answer 4

When the interval of time for the presentation of these stimuli varies from delivery to delivery

Question 5

High-Probability Instructional Sequence

Answer 5

The practioner presents two to five easy-to-follow instructions for which the participant has a history of compliance

Question 6

Behavioral Momentum

Answer 6

Describe a behavior’s resistance to change following an alteration in reinforcement conditions, and the term is sometimes used to describe the effects produced by high-p instructional sequence

Question 7

Functional Communication Training

Answer 7

Establishes an appropriate communicative behavior to compete with problem behaviors evoked by a motivating operation

Question 8

Antecedent Exercise

Answer 8

Requires the individual to engage in some effortful form of aerobic activity prior to receiving a low-p task to complete

Question 9

Enriched Environment

Answer 9

Intervention provides noncontingent access to preferred sources of reinforcement.

Question 10

Restraint

Answer 10

Involves physically limiting, prohibiting, or securing in such a manner that the target behavior cannot occur

Question 11

Function-Based antecedent interventions

Answer 11

Manipulate at least one component of the contingency identified as maintaining the problem behavior

Question 12

Default Interventions

Answer 12

Do not depend on identifying the variables that evoke and maintain the problem behavior
