Principles and Techniques in Behavior Analysis Quiz

Identifying environmental influences on behavior.

Cognition is not a principle of behavior analysis.

Positive reinforcement involves presenting a desirable stimulus to increase behavior likelihood.

Extinction describes the gradual weakening and disappearance of a conditioned response.

The term for gradually reducing behavior frequency through withholding reinforcement is 'Extinction'.

Taking away a chore as a reward for good behavior is an example of negative reinforcement.

Reinforcing behaviors resembling the desired behavior.

Negative punishment involves removing a reinforcer to decrease behavior.

A token economy is an example of a behavior modification technique.

ABC stands for Antecedent, Behavior, Consequence.

Continuous reinforcement provides reinforcement every time the behavior occurs.

Implementing a functional communication training program is a behavior analytic intervention for reducing problem behavior.

'Response class' refers to a group of behaviors producing the same consequences.

Intermittent reinforcement provides reinforcement only occasionally.

ABA's main focus is modifying behavior through environmental manipulation.

'Chaining' involves breaking down complex behaviors into teachable units.

A BIP includes strategies for modifying and preventing problem behavior.

A BIP is a comprehensive strategy for modifying and addressing problem behaviors.

Operant conditioning is a primary principle of behavior analysis.

A functional behavior assessment determines the cause and function of a behavior.

A systematic assessment of antecedents and consequences influencing behavior.

A discriminative stimulus signals reinforcement availability for a specific behavior.

'Chaining' involves breaking down complex behaviors into manageable steps.

'Response generalization' is the tendency for behavior to occur in new situations or similar stimuli.

A functional assessment determines the underlying cause or purpose of a behavior.
