Question 2

A multiple component treatment package for reducing unwanted habits such as fingernail biting and muscle tics; treatment typically includes self awareness training involving response detection and procedures for identifying events that precede and trigger the response; competing response training; and motivation techniques including self administered consequences, social support systems, and procedures for promoting the generalization and maintenance of treatment gains

Answer 2

Habit Reversal

Question 3

A decrease in responsiveness to repeated presentations of a stimulus; most often used to describe a reduction of respondent behavior as a function of repeated presentation of the eliciting stimulus over a short span of time; some researchers suggest that the concept also applies to within session changes in operant behavior

Answer 3

Habituation

Question 6

An antecedent intervention in which two to five easy tasks with a known history of learner compliance (the high p requests) are presented in quick succession immediately before requesting the target task, the low p request

Answer 6

High Probability (high p) Request Sequence

Question 7

A procedure for improving compliance and diminishing escape maintained problem behaviors
- The practitioner presents two to five easy to follow (high p) instructions for which the participant has a history of compliance
- When the learner complies with several high p instructions, the practitioner immediately presents a target instruction (ie; low p)

Answer 7

High Probability Instructional Sequence (high p)

Question 8

Answer 8
