To decrease the frequency of a behavior
To increase the likelihood of a behavior occurring again
To analyze the antecedents of a behavior
#4
What is the role of a behavior analyst?

#5

It emphasizes the importance of internal thoughts and feelings.
It focuses on observable behaviors that can be objectively measured.
It disregards environmental influences on behavior.
It relies solely on introspection to understand behavior.
#6

Antecedent, Behavior, Consequence
Analysis, Behavior, Cause
Action, Behavior, Conclusion
Attitude, Behavior, Circumstance
#7
In behavioral interventions, what does extinction refer to?
Encouraging a behavior to occur more frequently
Punishing a behavior to decrease its frequency
Removing reinforcement from a previously reinforced behavior
Replacing one behavior with another
#8
What is shaping in the context of behavior analysis?
Rewarding every instance of the desired behavior
Gradually reinforcing behaviors that approximate the target behavior
Punishing undesirable behavior
Using verbal prompts to guide behavior
#9
Which of the following is an example of negative reinforcement?
Giving a timeout for misbehavior
Providing praise for completing chores
Taking away a chore for good behavior
Ignoring a child's request
#10
What is a characteristic of a behavior intervention plan (BIP)?
It focuses solely on punishing undesirable behavior.
It is static and does not require periodic review.
It includes strategies to address challenging behaviors.
It is implemented without considering individual preferences.
#11
What is a token economy system used for in behavior management?
To provide physical tokens as rewards for desired behaviors
To eliminate all types of behaviors
To punish undesirable behaviors
To analyze behavior patterns
#12
What is the difference between classical conditioning and operant conditioning?
Classical conditioning focuses on involuntary responses, while operant conditioning focuses on voluntary behaviors.
Classical conditioning involves reinforcement, while operant conditioning involves punishment.
Classical conditioning uses rewards, while operant conditioning uses punishments.
Classical conditioning is only applicable to animals, while operant conditioning is applicable to humans.
#13
What is the purpose of a functional behavior assessment (FBA)?
To determine the cause of challenging behavior
To reinforce desired behaviors
To eliminate all types of behaviors
To punish undesirable behaviors
#14
Which of the following is a limitation of punishment as a behavior management technique?
It can lead to the suppression of undesirable behavior in the long term.
It may not address the underlying cause of the behavior.
It is always effective in changing behavior immediately.
It can strengthen the bond between individuals.
#15
Which of the following is true about generalization in behavior modification?
It refers to the reinforcement of a specific behavior in a particular setting.
It involves applying learned behaviors across different situations and settings.
It is only applicable to operant conditioning, not classical conditioning.
It leads to the extinction of undesirable behaviors.
#16
What is the difference between positive punishment and negative punishment?
Positive punishment adds a stimulus to decrease a behavior, while negative punishment removes a stimulus to decrease a behavior.
Positive punishment adds a stimulus to increase a behavior, while negative punishment removes a stimulus to increase a behavior.
Positive punishment removes a stimulus to decrease a behavior, while negative punishment adds a stimulus to decrease a behavior.
Positive punishment removes a stimulus to increase a behavior, while negative punishment adds a stimulus to increase a behavior.
#17
What is the difference between continuous reinforcement and intermittent reinforcement?
Continuous reinforcement is delivered every time the behavior occurs, while intermittent reinforcement is delivered only some of the time.
Continuous reinforcement is delivered only some of the time, while intermittent reinforcement is delivered every time the behavior occurs.
Continuous reinforcement is more effective than intermittent reinforcement.
Intermittent reinforcement is more predictable than continuous reinforcement.
