#1
What is the primary goal of conducting a functional behavior assessment (FBA)?
To identify the antecedents and consequences influencing behavior
To punish the undesirable behavior
To label the individual with a diagnosis
To ignore the behavior and hope it goes away
#2
Which of the following is NOT a component of functional behavior assessment?
Functional analysis
Behavioral intervention plan
Indirect assessment
Descriptive assessment
#3
Which of the following is NOT one of the four main functions of behavior according to applied behavior analysis?
Attention
Escape
Exploration
Access to tangibles
#4
What is a possible consequence of conducting an incomplete functional behavior assessment?
The behavior may worsen due to ineffective intervention.
The behavior will immediately cease.
The individual will develop a new behavior.
The behavior will spontaneously improve.
#5
What is the purpose of conducting a preference assessment in functional behavior assessment?
To identify the individual's preferred activities or items
To analyze the frequency of the target behavior
To administer punishment for undesired behaviors
To determine the function of the behavior
#6
What is the difference between positive reinforcement and negative reinforcement?
Positive reinforcement adds a stimulus; negative reinforcement removes a stimulus.
Positive reinforcement removes a stimulus; negative reinforcement adds a stimulus.
Positive reinforcement involves punishment; negative reinforcement involves rewards.
Positive reinforcement increases behavior; negative reinforcement decreases behavior.
#7
In functional behavior assessment, what does the term 'antecedent' refer to?
The consequence that follows the behavior
The behavior itself
The setting or event that precedes the behavior
The motivation behind the behavior
#8
What is a limitation of functional behavior assessment?
It is only applicable to children.
It relies heavily on self-report measures.
It may be time-consuming and require specialized training.
It is only effective for externalizing behaviors.
#9
What is the purpose of conducting a functional analysis in functional behavior assessment?
To identify the function(s) of the target behavior
To diagnose the individual with a psychological disorder
To implement punishment strategies
To document the frequency of the behavior
#10
What does the acronym ABC stand for in the context of functional behavior assessment?
Antecedent, Behavior, Consequence
Applied Behavior Control
Analysis of Behavior Characteristics
Action Before Consequence
#11
What is a hypothesis statement in the context of functional behavior assessment?
It describes the desired behavior
It outlines the steps for punishment
It explains the function of the behavior
It dictates the consequences for behavior
#12
Which of the following is an example of an appropriate replacement behavior?
Ignoring the behavior
Yelling at others when frustrated
Engaging in deep breathing exercises when stressed
Leaving the room when upset
#13
Which of the following is an example of a proactive intervention strategy?
Timeout as a consequence for misbehavior
Verbal reprimand after a disruptive behavior
Teaching relaxation techniques to cope with anxiety
Ignoring attention-seeking behavior
#14
What is the purpose of conducting a functional assessment interview?
To administer standardized tests to assess behavior
To identify the individual's preferred reinforcers
To analyze the frequency of the behavior
To diagnose psychiatric disorders
#15
What is the primary objective of implementing interventions based on the results of functional behavior assessment?
To eliminate all instances of the behavior
To reduce the frequency or severity of the behavior
To label the individual with a diagnosis
To ignore the behavior and hope it goes away
