Functions of BX
What are the 4 functions of behavior
Attention, Access, Automatic, Escape
How many preference assessments do we go over in Training
5
Susan's tantrums seemed to last longer with every passing day. Which data collection procedure would be the best to use to determine how long her tantrums last?
Duration
Which evidence-based practice links a set of behaviors that should occur in a specific order to complete a more complex task?
Chaining
Which evidence-based practice is being described below? Brooklyn was sitting on the floor, building a house with magnet tiles. Bentley came and sat next to her on the floor, and Brooklyn pushed him away. Nick, her RBT, took the magnet tiles away and did not allow her to play with them anymore. The next time a peer sat next to Brooklyn to play, she did not push them.
Negative Puhnishment
What might be the function of the behavior based on the ABC given?
A: Molly's plate is empty
B: Molly screamed "I want more eggs!!" and started to stomp her feet
C: Molly's mom gave Molly more eggs. Molly stopped screaming and stomping.
Access
The RBT is trying to create a hierarchy of the clients preferred items. She gathers 6 preferred items: crayons and paper, building blocks, silly putty, barbie doll, piano toy, and a book. She presents two items at a time to the client and repeats this process multiple times until she has a good idea of the clients most preferred item. What kind of assessment is the RBT conducting?
Paried/ Forced
Jamaal is collecting data on Freddie's on-task behavior. He looks to see if Freddie is on- task for an entire 10-second interval. If he is, he marks yes. If Freddie looks around during the 10 seconds, he marks no. What type of data recording is Jamaal using?
Whole Interval Recording
Which part of a discrete trial makes it more likely the learner will respond again?
Reinfoercer
A child engages in aggression, access to a preferred tablet is removed, and agression decreses overtime.
Negative Punishment
What might be the function of the behavior based on the ABC given?
A: RBT is taking data
B: Client is rocking back and forth
C: Feeling of energy being burnt off
Automatic/Sensory
The RBT is trying to find the item that her client is motivated for. She selects five items: a toy car, a puzzle, a small ball, a cookie, and a fidget spinner. These items are placed in front of her client and is asked to choose one. What kind of assessment is the RBT conducting?
Multiple Stimulus
A most-to-least prompting sequence involves:
Moving the prompts to naturally occurring ones
Which evidence-based practice reinforces successive approximations to the final goal?
Shaping
Punishment is the result of a stimulus following a behavior that serves to:
Reduce the behavior
What Function of behavior does Jello engage in the most?
Access
The purpose of preference assessment is to:
Identify reinforcers for increasing behaviors
Which of the following data recording procedures is best used for behaviors that have a clear ending and a clear beginning but do not occur throughout an entire interval, yet still occur at high rates?
Partial interval
In discrete trial instruction, a short instruction delivered to a learner is called:
A discriminative stimulus (SD)
Positive punishment involves what
Removing a stimulus to decrease the behavior
A client repeatedly flaps their hands even when alone. What's the function?
Automatic/ Sensory
In a multiple stimulus with replacement preference assessment, the choice the learner makes on the initial trial is:
Replaced and put with different items on the second trial
Dave needed to wash his hands after eating lunch. Mary, his RBT, gave a full physical prompt to assist Dave with turning on the water. When the water was on, Mary gave a partial physical prompt for Dave to put his hands under the water. Once Dave got his hands wet, Mary pointed to the soap dispenser. Once he put soap on his hands, Mary said "rub." Dave rubbed the soap in and continued to complete the rest of the handwashing steps independently.
Most to LEast
The discontinuation of reinforcement for previously reinforced behavior results in a decrease in that behavior over time
Extinction
The following example describes reinforcement: TRUE or FALSE Bentley's RBT held up a green card and said, "What color is it?" Bentley responded, "green!" His RBT gave him 3 skittles. The next time his RBT ran this program, he said the incorrect color.
False
