When using differential reinforcement to reduce problem behavior, the clinician provides _________ for appropriate behavior and __________ for problem behavior.
A. "reinforcement; punishment"
B. "punishment; withholds reinforcement (extinction)"
C. "reinforcement; reprimands"
D. reinforcement; withholds reinforcement (extinction)"
D
If you are using a differential reinforcement procedure, you are using extinction. This means you ignore the client when they engage in problem behavior as long as the behavior does not escalate to a crisis behavior (continuos severe aggression, property destruction, self injurious behavior)
A. TRUE
B. FALSE
A
Your client often engages in aggression when you place a demand on him (e.g., tell him to sit at the table, clean up, etc.). The behavior intervention plan includes a DRA and provides instructions on how to reinforce compliance (e.g., when he does sit down or clean up, give him access to a favorite toy). What is missing?
A. Description of a punishment procedure
B. Instructions on what the parents should do
C. Description of an extinction procedure
D. Description of reinforcement procedure
C

Stimulus control is when a response is more likely to occur in the presence of a certain stimulus
A. TRUE
B. FALSE
A
You put three pictures on the table in front of your client: a car, a block, and a dog. Then, you say "Point to dog." If your client points to the dog you say "YAY!" and give them a preferred toy. If they point to the car or the block, you do not say anything and move on to another trial. This lesson (delivering reinforcement for the correct response, no reinforcement for incorrect response) will result in:
A. Stimulus fading
B. Stimulus control
C. Response control
D. Response analysis
B
When Julie sees her friend Carlos, she says "Carlos!" and Carlos looks at Julie and says "Hi, Julie!" When Julie sees her friend Tina, she says "Carlos!" and Tina does not look at Julie or say hi. These consequences will eventually lead to Julie only saying "Carlos" when Carlos is present, meaning her response of saying "Carlos" is now under stimulus control.
A. TRUE
B. FALSE
