Question 19

Response prompts are supplementary stimuli that the likelihood that the target behavior will be emitted.

A. antecedent, increase

B. antecedent, maintain

C. consequent, increase

D. consequent, maintain

Correct Answer:A

Question 20

Three boys with autism, ages 7–10 years old, served as participants in a study. During baseline,
staff used response blocking when five instances of aggression or head-banging occurred within
10 seconds, until attempts ceased for 1 minute. During baseline and treatment, each occurrence
of aggression and head-banging was recorded daily and converted to the number of responses
per hour. Treatment comprised a differential reinforcement of incompatible behavior (DRI)
schedule coupled with response blocking after every head-banging or aggression. The staff
initially applied the treatment to head-banging, while continuing to take a baseline on aggression.
After noting treatment effects on head-banging, the staff then applied the treatment to aggression.
In this scenario, how was direct replication shown?

A. Baseline and intervention conditions were include

B. A baseline condition was implemente

C. A changing criterion design was used wherein the criterion for reinforcement was gradually changed over tim

D. The intervention was implemented in a staggered fashion across target behaviors after the initial baselin

Correct Answer:D

Question 21

The use of an alternating treatments design should be considered iF.

A. it is important that multiple interventions be evaluated quickl

B. one needs to evaluate the effects of a single intervention across multiple setting

C. the results of multiple reversal designs are ambiguou

D. there is the possibility that the effect of one intervention will influence the effect of anothe

Correct Answer:A

Question 22

Speed, magnitude, durability and generality of effect are some of the MOST important

A. dimensions of behavior that lend themselves to quantification more readily than other

B. variables that are overlooked by other social sciences in solving problem

C. variables to consider when selecting reinforcers and punisher

D. components of treatment packages used in treating the most severe behavior problem

Correct Answer:C

Question 23

One of the properties of behavior is

A. siz

B. effectivenes

C. repeatabilit

D. universalit

Correct Answer:C

Question 24

Jim is preparing his doctoral dissertation in applied behavior analysis for publication in a scientific journal. The editors, in their instructions sent to authors, have indicated that all of the procedures employed in the study must be thoroughly described in order for the article to be accepted. Which dimension of applied behavior analysis BEST supports this requirement?

A. analytic

B. behavioral

C. conceptually systematic

D. technological

Correct Answer:D
