BEHV 4010 Exam 2What is a potential risk with conducting a "standard" functional analysis for a client who
engages in aggression in the form of biting others? - ANS-The problem behavior cannot
be allowed to occur because it is too dangerous, and a functional analysis requires
delivering reinforcement contingent upon the occurrence of problem behavior.
What is a disadvantage with using brief functional analyses? - ANS-They often require
longer assessments before the function is identified.
What is a response class? - ANS-Is a group of responses that produce the same
reinforcer
What is a response hierarchy? - ANS-Arrangement of responses in the order in which
they are anticipated to be elicited by a particular stimulus.
What happens if reinforcement is provided for responses that occur at the beginning of
a response hierarchy? - ANS-Subsequent responses within a hierarchy may not occur.
What are precursor behaviors? - ANS-Behaviors that are observed to frequently
precede problem behavior.
How were the precursors identified in the Smith and Churchill evaluation? - ANS-They
were identified via reports from caregivers and direct observation of participants in their
residence prior to their participation in the study.
What was the purpose of the Smith and Churchill experiment? - ANS-To compare the
outcomes of standard function analyses of problem behaviors and the outcomes of
functional analyses of precursor behaviors.
Results of the Smith and Churchill study suggested that it is possible to ''infer the
environmental determinants of problem behaviors by placing experimental analysis
contingencies on behaviors that are observed to occur just prior to the problem
behaviors.'' What is the potential danger of making this type of inference? - ANS-Could
cause different results on a standard functional analysis.
Why is it that functional analyses of precursor behaviors may be relevant only for
behaviors maintained by social reinforcement? - ANS-Because if problem behavior
, were automatically maintained, it would be impossible to deferentially withhold or
present the automatically occurring consequences presumed to be operative.
What are the implications of the results for treatments consisting of DRA? - ANS-This
shows that differential reinforcement of an alternative class (or serves the function) can
reduce rates of problem behavior.
What are the implications of the results for treatments consisting of extinction? -
ANS-Applying extinction to problem behavior may result in a temporary increase in the
overall rate of the behavior OR it may elicit more severe topographies in a response
class.
What are the requirements of a functional relationship? - ANS-If (x), then (y). If not (x),
then not (y). (If contingency, then problem behavior. If no contingency, then no problem
behavior.)
What are the potential limitations with 'standard' functional analysis procedures? -
ANS-Time consuming, exposure to contingencies presents same risk, and specialized
environments.
Which limitation does the trial-based functional analysis focus on? How so? - ANS-"The
assessment typically is conducted under specialized environmental conditions that may
be unavailable in some service settings".
What materials are required to conduct a trial-based functional analysis? - ANS-Other
than a data sheet and a timer, no materials are required other than those already
present in a typical classroom.
Describe a trial-based functional analysis. - ANS-Within a trial based FA, trials are
separated into three two-minute segments. It begins with the control condition, then
tests the function, then returns to the control condition. If problem behavior occurs
during any segment, it is terminated, except during ignore conditions.
What are some reasons that might have accounted for the relatively poor
correspondence in trial-based functional analysis? - ANS-Contingencies present in the
classroom seemed to account for another observed correspondence failure. Limited
exposure to EOs during 2-min trials. Limited exposure to relevant consequences
Why did Querim et al. evaluated both stereotypy and other behaviors that were likely to
have social functions? - ANS-"To determine whether or not any of these problem
