What can we do to treat excessive sensory behaviors by managing and controlling them? (check all that apply) a)put them on a schedule so that the sensory need is met regularly and the client can count on it. b)we should not manage or control them because if the individual wants to do them, they should be able to do them even if it prevents them from obtaining other reinforcers that may enrich their life. c)teach the child to engage in behaviors that are more socially acceptable that have similar or the same reinforcing effect for the child while still getting their needs met. d)teach the child to ask for the sensory behavior as a way to expand communication and other prevent problem behaviors.

What are some contributing events that elicit challenging behavior during teaching sessions? (check all that apply) select correct answers a) requesting that the child do what will lead to a control battle when you are not ready to management it appropriately in that environment that will ensure their success b) boredom c) repeated work on programs or targets that are mastered d) not giving enough variety in what you teach teaching in a chaotic setting e) overreacting f) not allowing the learner to make enough choices themselves

Behavior Intervention/Support Plans are implemented for behaviors.... a)that prevent a child from learning to read b) that interfere with learning (or another person's ability to learn) and impede social skill development c) that drive parents crazy d) that get the individual what they want

b) that interfere with learning (or another person's ability to learn) and impede social skill development

The two major reasons or functions for behavior are (best answer) select correct answer a)to gain attention or escape something b)to get something or get out of something c)to get an reaction and because we feel like it d)to prove something

b) to get something or get out of something

For escape/avoidance maintained behaviors, there are several ways to increase instructional control and compliance such as select correct answers a)behavior or learning momentum b)teach to ask for breaks or provide breaks based on work completion c)both of these d)none of these

c) both of these

Teaching a child to wait is a necessary life-skill everyone needs to learn. The first step is to take baseline data to determine how long the child can currently wait. Second, set the target time to wait before receiving a reinforcer to select correct answer a)the baseline time b)just above the baseline time c)just below the baseline time d)variable time based on the reinforcer

c) just below the baseline time

From the sample programs provided, what antecedent approach is this: KEEP RATE OF REINFORCEMENT LOW AND GRADUALLY INCREASE Start with a dense schedule of reinforcement. If your learner tolerates a VR10 a slow fading of rate could look like this: 1. Demand‐Reinforce 2. Demand, Demand‐Reinforce 3. Demand, Demand, Demand‐Reinforce 4. Demand, Demand, Demand, Demand‐ Reinforce 5. Demand, Demand, Demand, Demand, Demand‐Reinforce Continue until you are AVERAGING ten responses before delivering reinforcement. select correct answers a)Implementing a Token Economy b)Implementing Visual Supports c)Stimulus Demand Fading d)Non-contingent Reinforcement

c) stimulus demand fading

Motivating operations (MO) is the establishing operation (EO) that increases the _______ of the reinforcer. select correct answers a)Abolishment b)Length c)Value d)Objectiveness

c) value

Setting events are stimuli in the environment that do not immediately happen before the problem behavior but still affect the probability that the behavior will occur and could be all of the following EXCEPT: a) Medication or diet changes b) Sleep disturbances c) Daily schedule changes or relocation d) Getting a new car as a reward for graduating high school

d

Errorless teaching is a preventive technique for challenging behavior because it select correct answers a) reduces frustration b) the student has access to plenty of reinforcement c) reduces task avoidance when the task is difficult d) all of these

d) all of these

Replacement behaviors are chosen based on their select correct answers a)social importance b)relevance c)ease d)all of these

d) all of these

In classical conditioning, when we pair an unconditioned stimulus, like food, with a neutral stimulus, like the sound of a bell, that neutral stimulus becomes a _____________ stimulus. a) operational b) neutralized c) defined d) conditioned

d) conditioned

Sensory or self stimulatory behaviors include behaviors that primarily function as fulfilling a sensory need or input for the individual such as select correct a) repetitive b) stereotypical c) excessive interest or fixation d) rigidity e) all of these

e) all of these

Why are visual schedules important to use for prevention of problem behavior? a) they capitalizes on the visual memory strength most people have (75%) b) sometimes people have slower processing times so they miss a lot of what is said to them. Visual schedules provide a concrete method to know what is going to happen next. c) provides organization and increases on task behavior d) provides independence and increases flexible behavior e) all of these

e) all of these
