Question 3

Response blocking is a tempted for eye poking, but the Fidelity is 80%. This may function as a punishment procedure or an extinction procedure. If it is a punishment procedure, the effect on eye poking will likely be __________. If it is an extinction procedure, the effect will likely be ___________.
A. A quick decrease, an immediate increase
B. A slow decrease, a slow decrease
C. A quick decrease, a slow decrease
D. Undetermined, undetermined

Answer 3

A
An attempted extinction procedure that allows 20% of the responses to produce reinforcement will likely caused the rate to increase, due to a lien variable schedule of reinforcement. If it is a punishment procedure, intermittent punishment will cause the behavior to decrease.

Question 4

Resistance to extinction is increased when…
A. There is a long history of reinforcement
B. Baseline reinforcement was on a VI or a VR schedule
C. Response effort is low
D. All of the above

Answer 4

D

Question 5

Use of extinction may not be possible when…
A. The behavior is escape and the individual is large, strong, or quick.
B. There is automatic reinforcement that is impractical to eliminate
C. The behavior is dangerous and reinforced by attention
D. All of the above

Answer 5

D

Question 6

A child engages in SIB in an austere environment. An NCR intervention is implemented which involves activity items. The intervention eliminates the SIB.
A. The SIB behavior was extinguished
B. SIB will likely recur if the activity items are removed
C. The intervention was an extinction procedure
D. All of the above

Answer 6

B
Eliminating the EO for SIB by providing other activities may eliminate the behavior but does not extinguish the behavior, because it is not an extinction procedure. If the EO is restored by removing the activity items, then the behavior will likely recur
