Q

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

A

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.

Q

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

A

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.

Q

From the functional analysis graph provided, what is the probable function of the behavior?

Attention, automatically enforcement, escape, the behavior is multiply controlled

A

Escape

19
Q

From the functional analysis graph provided what is the probable function of the behavior?

Attention, automatic reinforcement, escape, the behavior is multiply controlled

A

Automatic reinforcement

20
Q

If during an FA the target behavior is high in the demand condition relative to the control condition, this suggest the problem behavior is like the maintained by:

A

Escape

21
Q

If during the functional analysis the target behavior is high in the alone condition relative to the control condition, this suggest the problem behavior is likely maintained by

Attention, automatic reinforcement, access to tangibles, escape, the behavior is multiply Controlled

A

Automatically Reinforcement

In the case of automatic reinforcement There’s another pattern of behavior that we might see that suggests automatic reinforcement and that pattern is high across across all of the functional analysis conditions even the control.

22
Q

If during the FAA the target behavior is high in the attention condition relative to the control condition, this is just the problem behavior is likely maintain by:

Automatically enforcement, Social positive and force meant, Social negative reinforcement, multiple sources of enforcement. Or do you

A

Social positive reinforcement represented by adult attention

23
Q

Why am I more than one test condition be elevated relative to the control condition?

A

The behavior is under multiple control

24
Q

Under what circumstances should you include a tangible condition in an FA?

A

If you strongly suspect maintenance by access to tangibles

25
Q

How should you select a tangible items for an FA?

Conduct a DA to identify what is typically deliver the following PB, conduct a preference assessment, conduct a reinforcer assessment: ask the clients caregiver and I thought

A

A. Conduct a descriptive assessment to identify what is typically delivered following PB

26
Q

What is the main difference between the Carr & Durand (A-B) FA And the Iwata ABC, FA?

Only the A-B FA uses salient SDS

Only the A – B, FA manipulates EO

Only the letter ABC FA manipulates EO‘s

Only the ABCFA manipulates consequences

A

Only the ABC FA manipulates consequences

27
Q

According to Worsdell, What is necessary in an FA session to evoke and maintain problem behavior?

A

The contingency only

28
Q

What is the main limitation of the Carr and Durand. A-B F a?

A

The behaviors were on extinction

May not work for all subjects

29
Q

What is the most efficient and effective duration for functional analysis sessions?

A

10 minutes

30
Q

Based on the recommendations of Connors, when should salient S D’s be involved in an FA?

Always, when the client is lower functioning; if you have reason to suspect the client is not discriminating between conditions; never

A

Always

31
Q

Name a Nother experimental design other than the multi element that can be used in a functional analysis.

Changing criterion, multiple baseline, pair wise, alternating conditions

A

Pairwise

32
Q

Prior to 1982, the behavioral intervention to reduce problem behavior consisted of the arbitrary use of powerful reinforcers of punishers and focused on topography of behavior. True or false

A

True

33
Q

In recent years, research has concluded that SIB is:

Part of a larger cognitive disorder, learned, always automatically Reinforced

A

Learned

34
Q

What is the most appropriate design for a pre-treatment analog functional analysis in which the client is exposed to four conditions repeatedly,

A

Multi element

35
Q

If you are short on assessment time, you might use A:

Brief letter FA, precursor FA, Trial based FA

A

Brief FA

36
Q

If you want to conduct the assessment in the natural environment, you might Use a colon brief FA, precursor FA, trial base FA

A

Trial based FA

37
Q

Brief FA and full FA show……
Correspondence with respond to results.

Poor, good, it depends on the characteristics of the client, it depends on the setting of the FA

A

Good

38
Q

A variable not tested in the standard FA conditions is known as a(n) ;

Individualized variable, unconventional variable, non-standard variable, idiosyncratic variable

A

Idiosyncratic variable

39
Q

How many topography of problem behavior can you include in a single functional analysis?

As many as you want initially, one, no more than two, as many as they are in one class e.g., all the topography is of aggression.

A

As many as you want initially

40
Q

If you include multiple topography is in one café, what must you do?

Only reinforce one topography per session, graph each topography separately: use a pairwise design to aid in discrimination, add salient SD’s

A

Graph Each topography separately

41
