What is the function of 'Extinction' in behavior modification?

To increase the occurrence of a behavior

To reinforce desirable behaviors

To decrease the occurrence of a behavior by withholding reinforcement

To establish antecedent control

What does 'Functional Analysis' involve in ABA?

Assessing the consequences of a behavior

Analyzing the function or purpose of a behavior

Establishing antecedent control for behaviors

Implementing reinforcement schedules

What is the role of 'Prompting' in ABA?

To reinforce behaviors

To discourage undesirable behaviors

To assist in the initiation or completion of a behavior

To analyze the antecedents of behaviors

In ABA, what is the significance of 'Response Cost'?

The application of aversive stimuli to modify behavior

The removal of a previously earned reinforcer following an undesirable behavior

The analysis of antecedents of behaviors

The reinforcement of specific behaviors in controlled settings

In ABA, what is the function of a 'Behavior Intervention Plan' (BIP)?

To describe the antecedents of a behavior

#10

In ABA, what is the significance of 'Generalization'?

The tendency for a behavior to occur in the presence of stimuli similar to the original stimulus

The process of extinguishing undesirable behaviors

The reinforcement of specific behaviors in controlled settings

The application of punishment for specific behaviors

#11

In behavior modification, what is the primary purpose of a 'Token Economy'?

To provide immediate reinforcement for behaviors

To establish antecedent control

To systematically reinforce target behaviors using tokens

To apply aversive stimuli for behavior change

#12

What is the primary purpose of 'Chaining' in behavior analysis?

To reinforce behaviors immediately

To break down complex behaviors into smaller, manageable components

To extinguish undesirable behaviors

To assess the consequences of behaviors

#13

What does 'Maintenance' refer to in the context of behavior modification?

The process of gradually reducing reinforcement for a behavior

The continued occurrence of a behavior after the intervention has been removed

The assessment of antecedents for a behavior

The reinforcement of target behaviors using tokens
