Ethics and Professionalism
(Q1) What are the three elements of informed consent?
What is
Information, capacity, and voluntariness
(Q6) Define a conditioned motivating operation (CMO)
What is
A learned variable with value-altering and behavior-altering effects.
(Q17) Define extinction.
What is
Discontinuation of reinforcement for a previously reinforced behavior, resulting in decreased responding.
(Q29) Provide an example of positive punishment.
What is
Reprimands, RIRD, overcorrection, contingent exercise, response blocking.
(Q35) Define shaping.
What is
Differential reinforcement of successive approximations toward a terminal behavior.
(Q42) What is the difference between a preference assessment and a reinforcer assessment?
What is
A preference assessment identifies preferred stimuli. A reinforcer assessment determines whether those stimuli increase behavior.
(Q2) List three circumstances in which confidentiality may be broken
What is....
Required by law
Court order
Imminent harm to self or others
Immediate crisis
Third party payment invovlement
(Q7) Name the three conditioned motivating operations.
What is
(Q18) Name one unwanted effect of extinction.
What is:
(Q30) Provide an example of negative punishment.
What is
Time-out, response cost, planned ignoring, exclusionary time-out.
(Q35) : What are the two principles involved in shaping?
What is
(Q43) What are the four common functions of behavior?
What is
(Q3) Before observing a client in a general education classroom.
What is...
Written guardian consent to share information and observe the client in another setting
(Q8) What is another name for simple discrimination?
What is
Discriminated operant or three-term contingency?
(Q19) What is the difference between extinction and forgetting?
What is:
Forgetting occurs because behavior is not emitted over time. Extinction occurs because reinforcement is withheld while behavior continues to occur.
(Q31) Name two unwanted effects of punishment.
What is
(Q37) What is the difference between shaping and chaining?
DAILY DOUBLE!
What is
Shaping reinforces successive approximations and extinguishes prior approximations. Chaining links responses together so each response serves as reinforcement and an SD for the next response.
(Q44) What is the difference between a descriptive assessment and a functional analysis?
What is
A descriptive assessment hypothesizes function based on observation. A functional analysis experimentally manipulates variables to identify a functional relation.
(Q4) Name three actions a behavior analyst should take when transitioning clients after accepting a new job.
What is:
Q10) What is another name for conditional discrimination?
What is
Four-term contingency.
(Q120) Why should reinforcement procedures be paired with extinction?
What is ...
To reinforce replacement behaviors and reduce negative side effects of extinction.
(Q33) List two factors that affect punishment effectiveness.
What is
(Q38) Name the three group contingencies.
What is
(Q46) Describe the four conditions of a traditional Iwata Functional Analysis.
What is
Play: Control condition
Demand: Tests escape
Attention: Tests social positive reinforcement
Alone: Tests automatic reinforcement
(Q5) What should you do if asked to assess a severe feeding disorder outside your competency?
What is:
(Q16) Compare and contrast the High-P Request Sequence and Premack Principle.
Similarities:
Differences:
(Q28) List four situations when extinction should not be used.
What is ...
(Any 4)
(Q34) What schedule of punishment should initially be used?
What is
FR1 because punishment is most effective when applied consistently.
(Q40) Describe multiple exemplar training and how you would evaluate generalization.
What is
Teach multiple examples of the same concept using different exemplars. Test generalization by presenting a novel exemplar and evaluating whether the response still occurs.
(Q47) Name two functional analysis variations.
