What is an antecedent strategy?
What is a proactive approach used to prevent challenging behavior by modifying the environment or providing support before the behavior occurs.
What are replacement behaviors?
What is a positive, appropriate behavior that serves the same function as a challenging behavior.
what is task analysis/chaining
Following a client engaging in a target behavior for increase, how soon should reinforcement be implemented?
Immediately, within 3 seconds
Provide examples of tokens
stickers, money, points, stars
what antecedent strategy is implemented in the following statement: Allowing a learner to select between two or more options to increase motivation and reduce problem behaviors.
What is providing choices?
True or false: When we are targeting a behavior for reduction, we should always be teaching a replacement behavior.
what is true
What is modeling?
What is demonstrating the desired behavior for the learner to imitate?
Give 3 examples of a potential reinforcer
What is
extra recess time
favorite toy
extra lunch time
going for a walk
Tokens are exchanged for this type of item or activity in a token economy system.
What is a back up reinforcer?
Provide 2 examples of an antecedent strategy you have used.
What is
providing choices
first/then statements
providing transition warnings
timers
Give an example of a replacement behavior or screaming when a client wants attention
raising hand
requesting a teacher/staff to talk to them
This type of teaching strategy incorporates teaching within the context of a fun, natural activities. It keeps the child engaged while working on meaningful, functional skills.
What is Natural Environment Teaching (NET)?
Is the following scenario reinforcement or punishment? Is it positive or negative?
During math class, a student is repeatedly tapping their pencil loudly. The teacher takes away the pencil, and the student stops tapping for the rest of the class.
What is negative punishment?
This is the primary purpose of a token economy
What is to reinforce and increase desired behaviors?
What antecedent strategy is used in this situation?
A client struggles with transitions between preferred and non-preferred activities. Before ending playtime, the therapist gives a 2-minute warning.
What is transition warnings or transition cues
What is an example of teaching a replacement behavior for escape-maintained behavior?
What is Teaching a child to request a break instead of running away from the table.
Following a client making a mistake, you provide the SD again with an immediate prompt for the correct answer. What type of teaching is this?

Is the following scenario reinforcement or punishment? Is it positive or negative?
A client refuses to transition to the next activity. The therapist prompts the client to comply, and when they do, the therapist allows them to play with a preferred toy. The client transitions more easily in the future.
What is positive reinforcement?
Reason: Access to the toy (added stimulus) increased the desired behavior (transitioning).
A token economy is used in a classroom. The teacher finds some students aren’t motivated by the backup reinforcers offered. What is the likely issue?
What is
failing to conduct a preference assessment
or previous reinforcers are no longer reinforcing
Providing high-probability requests before a challenging task increases compliance and is an antecedent strategy.
This is high probability request sequence. Providing easy "can do" tasks, then implementing a more challenging task.
Why are replacement behaviors important?
what is providing learners with an appropriate way to meet their needs, reducing the occurrence of challenging behavior.
This type of teaching provides an appropriate prompt to ensure the client does not make any mistakes and accesses reinforcement immediately
What is errorless teaching?
