Susan recorded data on a student's fidgeting behavior in the following way: She divided a 10-minute recording period into 10-second intervals and recorded in each interval a "+" if the target behavior occurred at least once. The percentage of intervals of target behavior occurrence was about 45%. The data resulting are most likely to be an

A.

accurate measure of inter-response times.

B.

inaccurate measure of inter-response times.

C.

overestimate of the occurrence of the behavior.

D.

underestimate of the occurrence of the behavior.

When setting criteria for behavior change, behavior analysts attempt to implement the simplest mode of intervention necessary to elicit the desired outcome. As such, the identified outcome criteria should be

applied to ecological assessments to generalize skills.

B.

developed prior to the identified intervention.

C.

initially broad in focus with subsequent reduction to a target response.

D.

measured independent of practice effects or reactivity.

assign participants to treatment conditions.

B.

select participants from the population of interest.

order treatment conditions presented during each phase.

D.

change each criterion level.

B.

verbal stimulus; the behavior matches that stimulus; and the reinforcer is specific.

C.

verbal stimulus; the behavior matches that stimulus; and the reinforcer is non-specific.

D.

B.

refer the family to another professional, since this type of issue is not amenable to applied behavior analysis.

C.

set up contracts between the parents and children that require the parents to reinforce appropriate behavior using things that the children identify as important to them.

D.

explain how behavior analysis could be used to assist the family so that they can make an informed decision about proceeding.

Behavioral contracts must includE.

A.

a summary of the functional assessment; the target behavior; and the consequences for its occurrence and non-occurrence.

B.

vocal descriptions of how the behavior is to be measured; the consequences for its occurrence and non-occurrence; the contract manager; and the target behavior.

C.

written descriptions of how the behavior is to be measured; when behavior must occur; the consequences for its occurrence and non-occurrence; the contract manager; and the target behavior.

D.

a summary of the functional assessment; written descriptions of how the behavior is to be measured; when behavior must occur; the contract manager; and the target behavior.
