Unit 9 ASR's Flashcards
Prior to the advent of functional assessment, there was an over reliance on:
A. Reinforcement
B. Punishment
C.!Extinction
D. Teaching a placement skills
B Punishment
It was important to get rid of the behavior quickly and a punishment was the effective tool at that time
Prior to the advent of functional assessment, the primary focus was on:
The topography of the behavior
the function of the behavior
Why the behavior was occurring
Increasing the client access to reinforcement.
A. The topography of the bx
Behavior problems are a product of
Developmental disabilities
Dysfunction in the brain
Learning
Bad parenting
Learning.
Behavior problems are learned in the same way that appropriate behaviors are learned.
The purpose of a functional analysis is to:
Identify how to teach the clients new ways to communicate
Eliminate the problem behavior
Identify the schedule of reinforcement for the problem behavior
Identify the maintaining variable for a behavior
Identify the maintaining variable for a behavior
……… Demonstrated that SIB increased want attention was provided for the behavior
Lovaas
Carr
Berkson
Mason
Lovaas
Demonstrated that SIB increased when attention was provided for that behavior
There are two essential features of FA that were Stabley Shang only studies. One is direct observation. What is the other?
A controlled setting
Measurement of behavior in the natural environment
Measurement of behavior in test conditions
Measurement of behavior in test and control conditions
D. Measurement of behavior in test and control conditions
Escape from the man’s is a type of……… Reinforcement.
Social positive
Social negative
Automatic positive
Automatic negative she talking gonna be done in one second that I drink is in the tub for all
Social negative
What is the relevant O in the demand condition?
The presence of task materials
Presence of the therapist
The presentation of demands
Escape from Demands
The presentation of demands.
The presentation of demands ESTABLISHES Escape as a reinforcer and it evokes behaviors that has produced a scape in the past.
In the alone condition, we are testing for:
Behaviors that persist for attention
Behaviors that are maintained by automatic reinforcement
Behaviors that occur to get access to stimuli such as toys
Behaviors that persist in the absence of social consequences
Behaviors that persist in the absence of social consequences
The alone condition suggest maintenance by automatic reinforcement. It doesn’t actually test for that by manipulating contingencies for the behavior because the behavior directly produces its own consequences we can actually deliver or not deliver that consequence. What the alarm condition really does is rule out maintenance by Social the enforcement.
What is the consequence for problem behavior in the play (control) addition?
Nothing; the behavior is ignored
Prompting to interact with a toy
Attention in the form of a reprimand
Escape from the room
Nothing the behavior is ignored
During this condition of a functional analysis, no items or low preferred items are available and a therapist is present in the room, but the therapist only interact with the client contingent upon problem behavior:
Attention condition
Alone condition
Demand condition
Play condition
Attention condition.
The target behavior is aggression defined as hitting, Kicking, or biting. During the attention condition of a functional analysis, the child spits on the therapist, what should the therapist do?
Allow a brief escape from the task.
Ignore behaviors
Provide a brief statement of concern or reprimand
Ignore these behaviors.
The target behavior is aggression defined as hitting, kicking, or biting. During the demand condition of a functional analysis, the tile kick the therapist shin under the table. What are the therapist do?
Allow a brief escape from the task
Ignore these behaviors
Provide a brief statement of concern or reprimand
Call 911
Allow a brief escape from demand
The target behavior is aggression defined as hitting kicking or biting. During the attention condition of a functional analysis the child walks up to the therapist and hits the therapist arm hard enough to leave it bright red mark what should the therapist do.?
Allow a brief escape from the task, ignore these behaviors, provide a brief statement of concern or reprimand, call 911
Provide a brief statement or reprimand
In order to say that we have identified a function for a behavior we are looking for a one or more test conditions elevated as compared to the level of behavior in the control condition.
Typical response pattern graph
The SIB study Of different types of SIB highlights (Iwata .. first Functional analysis study)
You cannot pick treatment based on what SIB Looks like or the topography of the behavior.
From the functional analysis graph provided, what is the probable function of the behavior
Attention, automatic reinforcement escape, multiply controlled.
Attention
