Ms. Anita Response wants to increase the number of words Sophie writes in
her stories during creative writing time. She uses shaping to do so. What
dimension of behavior is she shaping? a) Amplitude b) Frequency c)
Duration d) Latency - ANS ✓b) Frequency
An example of shaping within a response topography is: a)Increasing the
number of math problems an individual needs to complete during math
class b)Increasing the duration of in-seat behavior during seatwork time
c)Increasing the force of a tennis swing d)All of these are examples of
shaping within a response topography - ANS ✓d)All of these are examples of
shaping within a response topography
T or F - The functional variation of extinction is withholding maintaining
reinforcers - ANS ✓True

A procedure in which reinforcement of a previously reinforced behavior is
discontinued and as a result, occurrences of that behavior decrease in the
future is: a.) Punishment b.) Extinction c.) Reinforcement d.) Establishing
operation - ANS ✓b.) Extinction

What are the common misuses of the term extinction? a. Confusing
forgetting and extinction b. Confusing response blocking and sensory
extinction c. Confusing noncontingent reinforcement and extinction d. All of
these - ANS ✓d. All of these
Delivering a stimulus with known reinforcing properties to an individual
on a fixed time or variable time schedule independently of responding is
known as which procedure? a. Extinction b. Noncontingent Reinforcement
(NCR) c. Differential Reinforcement d. Punishment - ANS ✓b. Noncontingent
Reinforcement (NCR)
What is the main effect of an extinction procedure? a. Increase in behavior
b. No change in behavior c. Behavior decreases and/or stops entirely d. The
effects are unknown - ANS ✓c. Behavior decreases and/or stops entirely
When is it not appropriate to utilize an extinction procedure? a. When
inappropriate behaviors are likely to be imitated by others b. When
behaviors are harmful to self or others c. Both of these d. None of these -
ANS ✓c. Both of these
In DRA, a practitioner: a. Reinforces a desirable alternative to the problem
behavior b. Places the problem behavior on extinction c. May choose to
reinforce a behavior that is incompatible with the problem behavior d. All
of these are correct - ANS ✓d. All of these are correct
The behavior selected as an alternative behavior in a DRA: a. Should
already be in the learner's repertoire. b. Should require more effort than
the problem behavior. c. Should be emitted at a very low rate prior to
intervention. d. Should require extensive training for practitioners to learn
how to reinforce it. - ANS ✓a. Should already be in the learner's repertoire.
A limitation of DRO is: a. Other inappropriate behaviors may be reinforced
accidentally. b. One may accidentally punish all responding in the
individual. c. It often produces an extinction burst effect. d. The effects have
been shown to be slow and gradual. - ANS ✓a. Other inappropriate behaviors
may be reinforced accidentally.
