Study questions Behavior Analysis for Lasting Change, Chapter 10

Study questions Behavior Analysis for Lasting Change, Chapter 10.

1. Provide two major reasons why it is important to conduct a functional behavior assessment.

2. Define and illustrate (a) functional consequence and (b) functional analysis/assessment.

3. Identify the three components of an A-B-C analysis. State what this assessment reveals.

4. The best way to determine the function of a behavior is to use:
5. Narrative recordings
6. Contingency analyses
7. Interviews
8. Experimental methodology

5. Based upon an understanding of a behavior’s function, when the function is to gain attention, do not use _____________ as an intervention:
   1. Timeout
   2. Redirection
   3. Extinction
   4. Reinforcement of alternative behaviors

6. A functional analysis can best be demonstrated by:
   1. An ABC analysis
   2. An experimental design
   3. Information collected through interviews
   4. Observation of behavior under natural conditions
   5. None of the above

7. Behavior analysis procedures are selected on the basis of:
   1. What could be counter to a person’s learning history in order to reverse behavior
   2. The behavior’s function
   3. Empirical evidence
   4. Both b & c

8. The term functional implies:
   1. The manner in which the behavior occurs is related to the way its antecedents and consequences have influenced it in the past
   2. The manner in which the behavior occurs is related to the way its consequences have influenced it in the past
   3. The manner in which the behavior occurs is related to the way its antecedents have influenced it in the past
   4. None of the above

9. A functional behavioral assessment is based on the assumption that an unwanted behavior can best be eliminated by:
   1. Eliminating reinforcement for the unwanted behavior
   2. Punishing the unwanted behavior
   3. Placing the unwanted behavior on extinction and teaching a functional alternative behavior
   4. Teaching alternative behaviors

10. Behaviors have various functions, including:
    1. Escape or avoidance (negative reinforcement)
    2. Access to attention, items or activities (positive reinforcement)
    3. Sensory (positive and/or negative reinforcement)
    4. Abating
    5. All the above except d

11. Replacement behaviors should:
    1. Yield equivalent functions to the problem behavior
    2. Be socially desirable
    3. Render the problem behavior irrelevant and inefficient
    4. All the above

12. Functional behavioral assessments:
    1. Can help us identify especially powerful reinforcers for the client
    2. Need to be conducted periodically on the target behavior
    3. Can help us discover what procedures to avoid
    4. All the above

13. A behavior improvement plan (BIP):
    1. Must be developed when a behavior interferes with a student’s learning
    2. Must be based on a functional behavior assessment
    3. Emphasizes the use of positive behavior interventions
    4. Is implemented as specified and its effects monitored
    5. All the above

14. Based upon an understanding of function, when the function is to escape, do NOT use:
    1. Timeout
    2. Redirection back to the task
    3. Redirection to a different activity
    4. Both a and c
