Operational Definitions should have three characteristics. What are they?
Objective
Clear
Complete
100
Three components of the Functional Behaviour Assessment Process are
Indirect Assessments
Descriptive Assessments
Functional Analysis
100
When selecting behavioural goals list two things that should be considered in their development
They should be realistic but challenging
They should be supported by the client and family
They should address behavioural cusps and pivotal behaviours wherever possible
They should be in line with the organizations mission, vision and values
100
Which procedure is an antecedent based intervention (NCR or EXT)
Non-contingent reinforcement
100
Reliability of data means that the data
is consistent across different observers or times of day
200
This type of operational definition focuses on the shape or form of the behaviour
Topographical Definition
200
These three things are always
Discriminative stimuli (SD)
Motivating operations (MO)
Reinforcing Contingencies (Reinforcer)
200
Which of the following is the best example of a pivotal behaviour?
a. raising hand
b. out of seat behaviour
c. hitting
d. paying attention
Paying attention
200
What is the difference between an extinction burst and spontaneous recovery?
Extinction burst: immediate increase in behaviour frequency or intensity following EXT intervention
Spontaneous Recovery: sudden onset of the previously extinguished behaviour
200
If the data measures the behavior it's intended to measure it is said to be
Valid
300
This type of data collection method is best used for discrete behaviours that do not occur at high frequencies
Event Recording
300
Sally talks to the school staff and parents of her client. Then she reviews the data they have collected using ABC chart and finally conducts a functional interview with the client's teacher. Which component of the FBA process has she completed?
Indirect assessment
300
Bobby wants to take up smoking again. He has the capacity to make his own decisions, but you know it's not going to be good for his asthma. What should you do?
Bobby can make his own decisions, so the best thing to do is continue to advocate for healthy living choices and support him if his asthma symptoms increase.
300
If Johnny usually screams to escape doing math homework, and you want to introduce an extinction procedure - it would be extinction of behaviours maintained by what
Extinction of behaviours maintained by negative reinforcement
300
If the function of a behaviour is to escape task demands, which intervention is NOT recommended?
time away
removal of demands
switching to new tasks
400
This system of discontinuous data collection is used when you want to increase a behaviour as it tends to underestimate the true occurrence
Whole Interval Recording
400
In this type of functional analysis, the graph that is produced is a bar graph rather than a line graph making that a key indication of the design.
Trial Based Functional Analysis
400
When selecting replacement behaviours should be
Functionally equivalent
Socially appropriate
Produce the same reinforcement as the problem behaviour
Just as easy to do as the problem behaviour
400
List two occasions in which you would not recommend using extinction procedures
The behaviour causes harm/danger to client or others
The behaviour is likely to be imitated by others
400
An FBA helps to determine
The functions fo the behaviour
Which interventions to avoid
What is reinforcing to the client
500
This is one of the first things to consider when prioritizing target behaviours
Threats to health or safety
500
what is the function of the behaviour if this graph is produced?
Escape
500
When would you create a behavioural intervention plan
When you want to emphasize and teach positive behaviours
When the problem behaviour interferes with the client's learning/daily life
When it's important to be specific in procedures, data and monitoring systems
500
Is non-contingent reinforcement an abolishing operation or establishing operation?
Abolishing Operation (AO)
500
Data should be collected across which phases of an intervention?
All phases
baseline, intervention, maintenance/follow up
