H04 When a Target Behavior is to be Decreased, Select an Acceptable Alternative Behavior

Question 1

Functional communication training

Answer 1

Allows the MO that evoked the problem behavior to evoke the new verbal behavior.
Involves teaching a verbal behavior that produces the same consequence as the problem behavior.
Uses the maintaining consequence for a problem behavior.
Involves teaching an alternative to the problem behavior.
Does not alter the MO that evokes the problem behavior.
Is an antecedent intervention

Question 2

FCT is typically implemented

Answer 2

Using picture cards, gestures, or any other form of communication

Question 3

A functionally equivalent behavior

Answer 3

May be a communication behavior

Question 4

FCT is being used to reduce disruptive behavior maintained by escape from the educational task. Once the communicative behavior “break please” is well established, the reinforcer should be thinned

Answer 4

On a schedule that is sensitive to the EO of problem behavior

Question 5

Which may be a functionally equivalent behavior for eye poking maintained by sensory stimulation?

Answer 5

Asking someone to turn on a strobe light
Turning on a strobe light
Holding glitter in front of their eyes

Question 6

Which may be a functionally equivalent behavior for escape maintained tantrums?

Answer 6

Ringing a bell
Walking away
“Please leave me alone”

Question 7

A student hits herself to get out of doing tasks. An intervention package should include such things as

Answer 7

Teaching the student to sign “please leave me alone”

Question 8

When possible, replacement behaviors should be

Answer 8

Achievable and functional equivalent
Constructive and reinforced by the natural environment
Incompatible with the problem behavior and acceptable to all concerned

Question 9

Which is a functionally equivalent behavior for escape maintained tantrums?

Answer 9

“Please leave me alone”

Question 10

A functionally equivalent behavior to increase

Answer 10

Is always a replacement behavior

Question 11

FCT may be a preferred reductive strategy because

Answer 11

It teaches a socially significant replacement behavior

Question 12

Which may be a functionally equivalent behavior for access to food?

Answer 12

Ringing a bell
Pointing to a picture of food
“May I have something to eat”

Question 13

Answer 13

Is sometimes an incompatible behavior

Question 14

When possible, replacement behaviors should be

Answer 14

Constructive and incompatible with the problem behavior.

Question 15

A functionally equivalent behavior always

Answer 15

Results in the same reinforcement as the problem behavior

Question 16

Strengthening behavior functionally equivalent to the problem behavior

Answer 16

Fosters a reduction of the problem behavior

Question 17

Generally, employing the least restrictive intervention requires that you

Answer 17

Strengthen a behavior functionally equivalent to the problem behavior

Question 18

The efficiency of a functionally equivalent replacement behavior is influenced by the

Answer 18

Effort it takes to produce the replacement response

Question 19

Occasionally, a replacement behavior should be selected that is not functionally equivalent

Answer 19

But provides better reinforcers than the problem behavior

Question 20

FCT is typically implemented

Answer 20

In conjunction with other behavior change tactics
Using any form of communication
With a dense reinforcement schedule

Question 21

It is impossible to exhibit a problem behavior at the same time you are exhibiting

Answer 21

An incompatible behavior
