Jody had an access-maintained tantrum for 14 minutes and it started 3 seconds after she was told, “No.” It had been 2 days since the previous tantrum. The latency is:

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

Teaching a child to match printed words to pictures, then pictures to the actual objects, and then testing to determine if the child can now match printed words to the actual objects is known as:

What are the three elements of informed consent?

Which characteristic of the response measure shown in this graph changed from baseline during the intervention phase?

In order to obtain the GREATEST increase in the value of an identified reinforcer after satiation has occurred, the behavior analyst shoulD.

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

What is the MOST important measure of behavior when the goal is to decrease the number of cigarettes smoked per day?

A child is exhibiting tantrum behaviors. You believe the tantrum is occurring for your attention. You therefore ignore the tantrum until it ceases while continuing daily activities. You note that the tantrums decrease over time. This is an example of:

If a client exhibits problem behaviors throughout the day and evenings regardless of what is going on in the environment and what activities he/she is participating in, which would be the BEST way to reduce the high frequency and increase latency?

A behavior analyst is asked to consult about a 10-year-old child who gets out of his seat during class at least once every 15 minutes. The behavior analyst wants the teacher to collect data on the child’s on-task behavior. Given that the teacher works alone in the classroom with 30 children, the BEST procedure to employ would bE.

In order to replace a behavior targeted for change with a behavior that topographically does not resemble the target behavior, which differential reinforcement procedure would be BEST?

Jack, a behavior analyst, is consulting about a student who engages in face slapping. A recent functional analysis clearly determined that the behavior is maintained by automatic reinforcement. In the past, reinforcement procedures alone were found to be ineffective. The current intervention consists of a punishment procedurE. pulling the student's hands away from his face contingent on any attempts to slap and saying, "No!" Jack shoulD.

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

A teacher gives a student a piece of paper and asks him to draw a picture. To request a crayon, the student looks at the teacher and says, "Crayon." In response to this, the teacher replies, "Say, 'Crayon please'." The student complies with the request and the teacher gives them a crayon. This exchange is an example oF.

A reliable measure is one that is:

To teach Beth to wash her hands, staff trained Beth in all the steps identified in the task analysis in each session. They also introduced prompts in successive levels if Beth did not respond after a two-second waiting period. Which behavior chaining procedure was used in this program?

Reinforcing closer and closer approximations to the final desired behavior involves:

A behavior analyst responsible for the evaluation of a behavior change program has been unable to get others to collect data on the targeted behaviors. The others involved, including other service providers, are relying on personal anecdotes and questionnaires to evaluate the effectiveness of the program. The primary consumer reports satisfaction with the results so far. To evaluate the program, the behavior analyst should:

Which situation is the BEST example of contingency-shaped behavior?
