Generalization/Maintenance
A client frequently spits. You notice that he spits during work times, when he is on a break, when he is

the teacher immediately provides a verbal reprimand. What function does his hitting most like serve? -
ansSocial Positive (attention/access)

ANSWERS)AGRADE
Automatic Negative Reinforcement - ansSomething taken away without need for another person
Automatic Positive Reinforcement - anssomething added without the need of another person
Automatic Reinforcement - ansreinforcement not requiring mediation from another person
Automatic Reinforcement Interventions: - ansproviding a client with automatic reinforcement or teaching a
client to provide him/herself with automatic reinforcement appropriately by providing breaks or a time to
engage in these activities.
Behavior interrupting - ansinterrupting maladaptive, or stereotypic behaviors with appropriate and
incompatible behavior.
Behavior Reduction Interventions - ansAntecedent Based and Consequence Based Interventions
designed to reduce maladaptive/problem behaviors.
calculate frequency/rate per hour and minute for a behavior that occurred 120 times over a 2 hour
observation - ans60 per hour, 1 per minute
Choose the best operational definition for a tantrum - ansAny instance of the client crying and hitting
himself in the head with a closed fist which makes a sound that can be heard within five feet. Instance
must last longer than 30 seconds and are separated by 30 seconds of non-occurrence.
Continuous Measurement Procedures: - ansrecords every possible behavioral occurrence
Frequency- recording each instance of behavior
Duration- number of seconds each instance of behavior occurs
Latency- elapsed time from onset of stimulus to initiation of response.
Inter-Response Time (IRT)- elapsed time between two successive responses.
Continuous reinforcers - ansreinforcement is provided for each occurrence of behavior.
Define a prompt: - ansA cue or assistance to encourage a desired response and used to provide
assistance to increase clients success and reduce frustration with learning new skills/behaviors.
Define behavior: - ansThe activity of living organisms; human behavior includes everything that people
do.
define environment: - ansthe conglomerate of real circumstances in which the organism or references
part of the organism exists; behavior cannot occur in the absence of environment.
Define Extinction: - ansDiscontinuation of a reinforcement of a previously reinforced behavior; the primary
effect is a decrease in the frequency of behavior until it reaches a pre-reinforced level or ultimately ceases
to occur.
Define Stimulus control: - ansA situation in which the frequency, latency, duration, or amplitude of
behavior is altered by the presence or absence of an antecedent stimulus.
Deprivation - ansincreasing the effectiveness of a reinforcer by withholding access to a reinforcer for a
specified period of time prior to a session
Differential Reinforcement- - ansreinforcing a desired replacement behavior with withholding or masking
reinforcement for an undesirable stereotypic behavior

Juice, sleeping
Expanded Trial - anspresenting one target along with 2 more previously mastered targets
Extinction Burst- - ansa predictable, temporary increase in the rate and intensity of a behavior when an
extinction procedure is first used.
