Has no effect on behavior
Only applies to innate behaviors
#3
Which of the following is an example of positive reinforcement?

#4
In the context of behavioral interventions, what does the term 'extinction' refer to?

#6
What is the purpose of a functional behavior assessment (FBA) in behavioral interventions?
To promote abstract thinking

In the context of behavior modification, what does the term 'prompting' refer to?
Delivering consequences for behavior
Providing cues or assistance to initiate a behavior
Punishing unwanted behaviors

#9
What is a potential drawback of using punishment as a behavioral intervention?
It is always effective in reducing undesirable behaviors
It may lead to negative side effects and emotional reactions
It only works for innate behaviors

#10
What is a common characteristic of antecedent interventions in behavioral modification?
They focus on consequences
They occur after the behavior
They precede the behavior

#11
What is a potential challenge when implementing token economy systems?
They are too complex for individuals to understand
They may lead to over-reliance on external rewards
They are only effective for adults
They encourage aggressive behaviors
#12
What is the purpose of a time-out as a behavioral intervention technique?
To provide extra time for individuals to engage in undesirable behaviors
To remove reinforcement for a brief period following undesirable behaviors
To promote social interaction
To reward positive behaviors
#13
What role does self-monitoring play in behavioral interventions?
It involves external monitoring by others
It allows individuals to assess and record their own behavior
It promotes aggressive behaviors
It only applies to children
