Which term is used to describe a strategy that involves adding a stimulus to increase the likelihood of a behavior?

Positive reinforcement

Explanation

Stimulus addition to boost behavior.

In behavioral interventions, what is the purpose of using a prompt?

To teach or evoke a specific response

Explanation

Facilitates learning or response elicitation.

What is a characteristic of a time-delay prompt in prompting techniques?

Introducing a delay before assistance

Explanation

Delay before providing assistance.

Which of the following is an example of an antecedent intervention in behavioral strategies?

Visual schedules

Explanation

Pre-behavior intervention like visual schedules.

In the context of prompting, what does the term 'shaping' refer to?

Teaching a complex behavior in small steps

Explanation

Complex behavior teaching in gradual steps.

What is a key principle of differential reinforcement in behavioral interventions?

Reinforcing target behaviors while ignoring or punishing undesirable behaviors

Explanation

Emphasizes reinforcing desired behaviors.

In behavioral interventions, what is a punishment contingency?

A consequence that weakens a behavior

Explanation

Consequence weakening undesired behavior.

What is the primary goal of implementing reinforcement schedules in behavioral interventions?

Controlling the timing and delivery of reinforcement

Explanation

Timing and delivery control of reinforcement.

Which type of prompt involves providing assistance immediately after the target behavior is emitted?

Immediate prompt

Explanation

Immediate assistance post-behavior.

#10

Which prompting technique involves providing assistance before the individual attempts the behavior?

Forward chaining

Explanation

Pre-behavior assistance.

#11

Which term refers to the gradual removal of a prompt over successive trials or sessions?

Fading

Explanation

Prompt removal over trials or sessions.

#12

What is a characteristic of a time-out as a punishment contingency in behavioral strategies?

Removing access to reinforcement for a brief period

Explanation

Brief reinforcement access removal.

#13

What is the primary goal of using reinforcement in behavioral interventions?

Strengthening and increasing desired behavior

Explanation

Boosting and enhancing desired behavior.

#14

Which prompting technique involves gradually reducing the intensity of the prompt to promote independence?

Fading

Explanation

Gradual prompt intensity reduction for independence.

#15

In the context of behavioral interventions, what is a token economy system used for?

Reinforcing behavior using tokens exchanged for rewards

Explanation

Behavior reinforcement via token exchange for rewards.

#16

What is the purpose of using a functional behavior assessment (FBA) in behavioral interventions?

To identify the function of problem behavior

Explanation

Identifying the function of problem behavior.

#17

Which of the following is a characteristic of the least-to-most prompt hierarchy?

Beginning with a weak prompt and gradually increasing it

Explanation

Starting with weak prompts, then increasing.

#18

Which term refers to the process of reinforcing successive approximations of a desired behavior until the target behavior is achieved?

Shaping

Explanation

Reinforcing steps towards target behavior.

#19

In the context of behavioral interventions, what is a self-monitoring strategy?

Allowing individuals to track and record their own behavior

Explanation

Individuals tracking and recording their behavior.

#20

What is the purpose of using generalization strategies in behavioral interventions?

Expanding the application of learned behaviors to various settings and situations

Explanation

Extending learned behaviors to diverse contexts.

#21

What is the purpose of using a peer-mediated intervention in behavioral strategies?

To teach or evoke specific responses through peer interactions

Explanation

Teaching or eliciting responses via peer interactions.

#22

In the context of behavioral interventions, what does the term 'chaining' refer to?

Teaching a complex behavior in sequential steps

Explanation

Complex behavior teaching in sequence.

#23

What is a characteristic of a least-to-most prompt hierarchy in prompting techniques?

Beginning with a weak prompt and gradually increasing it

Explanation

Starting with weak prompts, then increasing.

#24

In behavioral interventions, what is the purpose of using differential reinforcement of alternative behavior (DRA)?

Reinforcing a behavior incompatible with the problem behavior

Explanation

Reinforcing behavior opposing problem behavior.

#25

In prompting techniques, what does the term 'prompt dependency' refer to?

Excessive reliance on prompts, hindering independence

Explanation

Over-reliance on prompts impeding independence.
