Behavioral Intervention Designs Quiz

The 'A' phase in behavioral intervention designs represents the baseline, where the behavior is observed without any intervention.

Antecedent interventions are strategies implemented before a behavior occurs to prevent or reduce the behavior in a behavior intervention plan.

ABC in behavior modification stands for Antecedent, Behavior, and Consequence—elements influencing behavior.

Extinction in behavior modification refers to the fading away of a behavior when reinforcement is no longer given.

Positive reinforcement involves adding a stimulus (a sticker) to strengthen a behavior (completing a task).

BCBA stands for Board Certified Behavior Analyst—a professional certification in the field of behavior analysis.

Repeated measures involve collecting data on the same subjects multiple times under different conditions.

The withdrawal or reversal phase assesses whether behavior changes are stable by removing the intervention.

Reversal design involves withdrawing and reintroducing treatment to observe its impact on behavior.

Changing criterion designs may introduce bias as participants anticipate and adapt to changing criteria.

Functional analysis involves identifying the purpose or function of a behavior in behavioral intervention research.

Token economy systems use tokens as immediate reinforcement to encourage and reinforce desired behaviors in behavior modification.

Visual analysis involves visually inspecting graphs of data to determine the effectiveness of an intervention.

Multiple baseline design permits the assessment of whether behavior changes generalize across different situations.
