Jamie and Morgan have similar behavior challenges and similar daily schedules. A behavior analyst has spent extensive time and effort on developing and implementing Morgan's plan, which is proving to be very successful. How should the behavior analyst proceed with developing a treatment plan for Jamie?

A.

Because the behaviors are topographically similar, implementing the plan designed for Morgan would be appropriate as it is the least restrictive option.

B.

Complete a separate functional assessment and plan for Jamie.

C.

Use the same plan for both, just ensure the ecological variables correspond to the student.

D.

Do a separate functional analysis, but the same behavior supports can be applied to both students.

Frequency would be the MOST appropriate measure for which scenario?

A.

The behavior analyst wants to reduce the number of times Jack hits Jill.

B.

Jack wants his employees to increase the number of kits made in one hour.

C.

Jack's parents want him to reduce his persistent hand flapping.

D.

Jill wants to increase her son's compliance with room-cleaning requests.

The PRIMARY advantage of using a multiple baseline design across subjects is that:

A.

an intervention may be applied to more than one individual.

B.

experimental control can be demonstrated without a reversal.

C.

it is the most effective method for establishing functional relations.

D.

more individuals benefit from the effects of an intervention.

A DRI schedule designed to decrease the frequency of running around class and tapping other children on the head involves:

A.

Arranging for the child to earn a reinforcer in the absence of these behaviors

B.

Providing a reinforcer contingent on being on task and sitting quietly in his seat

C.

Changing the seating arrangement of the class

D.

Ensuring the child had breakfast that morning

The behavior analyst has had good results with an intervention she designed that makes access to video games contingent upon playing with other children. She now wants to compare the effects of differing amounts of video game access time. She should conduct a

A.

changing criterion study.

B.

nonparametric study.

C.

parametric study.

D.

reversal study.

Holly is learning to use a spoon to feed herself. Applesauce is known to function as a reinforcer. Her teacher has selected the following objective for Holly: "Given a spoon and a 3-ounce dish of applesauce, Holly will independently scoop the applesauce to her mouth." This objective is incomplete. Which component is missing?

A.

antecedent stimulus

B.

consequence condition

C.

prerequisite skill criteria

D.

standard of performance

Which of the following would not be a type of function of behavior identified during a functional assessment?

A.

Attention

B.

Escape

C.

Frustration

D.

Access to tangibles

An experimenter examines the level of noise in a school bus full of children under the following conditions: baseline, rock music, baseline, classical music. In this experiment, the dependent variable is:

A.

Time

B.

The number of children on the bus

C.

The level of noise

D.

The type of music

Jamie frequently falls to the floor and screams at school. Preliminary behavioral assessment data indicate that his tantrums are maintained by attention and escape from demand situations. Jamie's behavior analyst wants to examine precisely how attention and escape conditions affect these behaviors. The behavior analyst does not want to conduct the analysis in Jamie's classroom because she would not be able to control for potentially important factors. Relating to this scenario, which statement is TRUE?

A.

Analyses that involve experimental conditions are almost always conducted in the person's natural environment.

B.

The behavior analyst could conduct the analysis in a vacant classroom, but the generality of the findings is an issue to be considered.

C.

The behavior analyst should conduct detailed interviews with the teacher and school staff to determine functional relations.

D.

Only if the analysis is conducted in Jamie's classroom can a reasonable hypothesis be generated.

Observation sessions should be scheduled so that the representativeness of the data can be maximized. Considering behaviors occurring in a school setting, which of the following options is consistent with this recommendation?

A.

Behaviors are given letter-codes that represent the complete topographical definition of the behaviors, e.g., “on-task academic behavior” is represented by “O” on the recording sheet.

B.

Observations should be made only when the behavior is likely to occur most frequently during a day, for instance, during a particular academic class.

C.

Recordings of behavior during the whole school day may be needed initially to assess the representativeness of samples within the day.

D.

Representativeness can be assured by scheduling observations in sessions of 60 minutes or more in the morning and afternoon school schedule.
