What is EIBI? -Early Intensive Behavioral Intervention, and is used to treat young children with autism -Experimental Intensive Behavioral Intervention, and is used to treat persons with autism -Early Individualized Behavior Implementation, and is used to treat a variety of disorders -Every Individual Behaves Independently, and is used to treat a variety of disorders including -Autism Spectrum Disorders, Down Syndrome, and Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders - Early Intensive Behavioral Intervention, and is used to treat young children with autism A therapist is working with a child that dislikes the task she is working on. The child pinches the therapist. The therapist responds by telling the child to take a break from the work and think about what she did. In the future, the child pinches any time she doesn't want to do her work. In this example, the consequence for pinching was ________. -Receiving a break from work which functioned as a punisher -Receiving a break from work which functioned as a reinforcer -Receiving more work which functioned as a reinforcer -Receiving a vocal reprimand that functioned as a punisher - Receiving a break from work which functioned as a reinforcer What is the 3-term contingency (hint: ABC)? -Application, Behavior, Circumstances -Antecedent, Behavior, Contingencies -Antecedent, Behavior, Consequence

Repeated presentation of the same SD & target A procedure for teaching multiple targets simultaneously A form of child guided therapy where the therapist follows the child and works on targets as they come up naturally When 10 or more people are all being tried in a courtroom at the same time - Repeated presentation of the same SD & target The colors lesson has not been introduced yet. The supervisor wants you to introduce the first targets by placing out color cards on the table and giving the instruction "Give me (color)". Which teaching procedure should you use? Natural Environment Training Simultaneous discrimination training Successive discrimination training Randomized Intertrial Training (RIT) - Simultaneous discrimination training Errorless learning is a teaching procedure that _______.
ensures a child never responds incorrectly involves a least-to- most prompting procedure involves the therapist never informing the child of any incorrect responses involves a most-to- least prompting procedure to minimize incorrect responding - involves a most-to- least prompting procedure to minimize incorrect responding Which of the following is an example of most-to- least prompt fading? Vocal, Physical, Textual Physical, Model, Partial Physical Physical, Partial Physical, Vocal Model, Vocal, Physical - Physical, Partial Physical, Vocal What is the process of breaking down a behavior chain into a sequence of individual SD-response components called? Shaping Prompting Task Analysis Discrimination Training - Task Analysis If a child has all ready learned the emotions, "happy", "sad", and "angry", and the next target is "scared", how would you teach "scared" if the SD is "show me (emotion)? Mass trial "scared" first and then Random Rotate with the previously mastered targets
The systematic removal of additional stimuli so that the child is responding independently to the SD - A sequence of SDs and responses where each response in the sequence (except the last) produces the next SD Which of the following is a type of prompt? Physical Model Vocal All of the above - All of the above Which is an example of a procedure for establishing a chain? Total task presentation Forward chaining Backward chaining All of the above - All of the above Which of the following is an example of shaping? If you are trying to teach a child to say bubbles, you first reinforce "Bu" and after the child becomes fluent with "Bu", you move to "Bub", and proceed adding more and more of the word contingent on the child's success until the child is saying "bubbles". If a child tantrums every time he wants candy and the parents begin to give in less and less frequently until the child does not tantrum any more. If a child is inflexible with getting his clothes wet, you get his shirt soaking wet and not allow
him to change it until he calms down at which point you reinforce his tolerating of a soaking wet shirt. If you are trying to teach a child to ride a bike and you do not provide reinforcement for small successes, only once he is riding successfully. - If you are trying to teach a child to say bubbles, you first reinforce "Bu" and after the child becomes fluent with "Bu", you move to "Bub", and proceed adding more and more of the word contingent on the child's success until the child is saying "bubbles". What is discrimination training? A procedure used solely with rats and pigeons in research The procedure for teaching the child to distinguish between two or more SDs An error correction procedure Reinforcing successive approximations towards a desired response - The procedure for teaching the child to distinguish between two or more SDs The presentation of two or more SDs in random order is known as: Mass trial Random rotation Random sampling Errorless learning - Random rotation Fading is: Providing an additional stimulus to facilitate a correct response Systematically removing prompts contingent on correct responding Providing corrective feedback contingent on incorrect responding A procedure not used in Applied Behavior Analysis -
provides attention when the problem behavior occurs. Which type of extinction intervention is the therapist using? Response Blocking Escape Extinction Planned Ignoring Non-Exclusionary Time Out - Planned Ignoring Austin begins to repeatedly scream when his mom tells him he cannot go outside to play. After five minutes, Austin's mom agrees to let him outside into the garden. The next time Austin wants to play outside he immediately begins to scream. His mom immediately lets him go outside to play. Austin's mom's behavior has been: Positively reinforced Negatively reinforced Negatively punished Positively punished - Negatively reinforced Anything a person says or does is known as: Antecedents Discriminative Stimulus Consequences Behavior - Behavior Carl suffers from eczema, a skin rash that is extremely itchy.
