Extinction will be more rapid with a behavior that has been maintained by...

a. a continuous schedule of reinforcement b. an intermittent schedule of reinforcement c. a variable ratio schedule of reinforcement a. a continuous schedule of reinforcement

a. a glove b. planned ignoring c. a helmet c. a helmet

Operant extinction occurs when

a. a reinforcing consequence is withheld b. an unconditioned stimulus is no longer paired with a conditioned stimulus c. behavior is effectively reduced a. a reinforcing consequence is withheld

Which is true?

a. an extinguished behavior can suddenly return without being reinforced b. extinction and punishment used together is contraindicated c. an effective punishment procedure can extinguish behavior a. an extinguished behavior can suddenly return without being reinforced

Which describes "spontaneous recovery"

a. an extinguished behavior suddenly returns without being reinforced b. an extinguished behavior suddenly disappears even though it has been reinforced c. a new problem behavior appears with no apparent antecedent a. an extinguished behavior suddenly returns without being reinforced

Spontaneous recovery is

a. an indication that the extinction procedure is ineffective b. short-lived and followed by an increase in behavior c. the re-emergence of behavior during extinction d. all of the above c. the re-emergence of behavior during extinction

When using extinction, it helps to

a. combine it with reinforcement of inappropriate behaviors b. first conduct a preference assessment c. withhold reinforcement consistently d. all of the above c. withhold reinforcement consistently

Undoing an unconditioned stimulus/conditioned stimulus pairing (in other words, presenting the CS in the absence of the US)

a. describes respondent extinction b. alters the function of the CS c. will reduce responding to the CS d. all of the above d. all of the above

When using extinction, you should

a. ensure the individual understands the procedure b. plan for possible occurrences of aggression c. withhold reinforcement most of the time d. all of the above b. plan for possible occurrences of aggression

Which will occasion new or variable behavior?

a. extinction with continued access to the maintaining reinforcer b. reinforcement contingent upon a problem behavior c. extinction with no access to the maintaining reinforcer d. all of the above c. extinction with no access to the maintaining reinforcer

Planned ignoring is extinction

a. if attention is the maintaining reinforcer b. if all behavior is ignored c. if attention is one of the reinforcer a. if attention is the maintaining reinforcer

Extinction

a. is a behavior reduction procedure b. is a punishment procedure c. is a differential reinforcement procedure d. all of the above a. is a behavior reduction procedure

Self-injury has been nearly eliminated through extinction. A new staff person inadvertently reinforces it.

a. it will be necessary to add an aversive procedure b. continued use of extinction is now contraindicated c. expect an increase that might be difficult to reverse c. expect an increase that might be difficult to reverse

If sensory stimulation to the hand reinforcers hand mouthing, having the individual wear a bulky mitt would

a. not be extinction if the mitt did not fit in the mouth b. not be extinction if the mitt prevented sensory stimulation c. be extinction if the mitt did not fit in the mouth a. not be extinction if the mitt did not fit in the mouth

Behavior can be extinguished by

a. planned ignoring b. response blocking c. eliminating the MO d. punishing the behavior a. planned ignoring

months after having been traumatized outside your apartment, you stop having an emotional response when you walk toward it. This exemplifies

a. respondent extinction b. withholding of a punitive consequence c. operant extinction a. respondent extinction

Spontaneous recovery is

a. short-lived and followed by a decrease in behavior b. the re-emergence of behavior during extinction c. not an indication that the extinction procedure is ineffective d. all of the above d. all of the above

a. teaching the boy appropriate social behaviors b. removing a privilege contingent upon teasing c. reinforcing appropriate interactions with the sibling d. teaching the sibling to walk away d. teaching the sibling to walk away

If sensory stimulation to the hand reinforces hand mouthing, an extinction procedure might involve

a. using a taste aversive applied to the hand b. using a glove c. blocking attempts of moving the hand to the mouth b. using a glove

Undoing an unconditioned stimulus/conditioned stimulus pairing (in other words, presenting the CS in the absence of the US)

a. will reduce responding to a US b. describes respondent extinction c. changes the operant function d. all of the above b. describes respondent extinction
