A. Neurodevelopment Disorder

Autism is a:

• Neurodevelopment Disorder
• Mood Disorder
• Metabolic Disorder

A

ASD is characterized by:

• "Difficulties with reading, writing and math"
• "Difficulties in social interaction, communication and repetitive behaviors"
• "Difficulties with communication, acting out and academics"
• "Difficulties with following instructions and self harming"

B ABA is the cure for autism

A. TRUE

B. FALSE

B The three term contingency is

• Antecedent-Behavior-Consequence
• Lions-Tigers-Bears
• Environmental Event-Behavior-Consequence
• Antecedent-Behavior-Reward

A

Behavior must:

• Occur outside of the person
• Be observable by another person
• Be defined as good or bad
• A and B

D We seek to understand how ________ influence the occurrence of behavior

• Everything
• Private Events
• Environmental events
• Rewards

C Which is not an area we would work on with our clients?

• Hitting classmates
• Communication
• Feeling Angry
• Difficulties with social interaction

C 1 / 3

Frequency is:

• The length of time it takes to START a behavior after the instruction is given
• Assigning numbers to different prompt levels
• The number of times the behavior occurs
• The length of time that a behavior occurs

C ABC Data

• "Records the antecedent, behavior and consequence of problem behaviors"
• Is when target behaviors occur
• The length of time a behavior occurs
• The ratio of number of times a behavior occurs per unit of time

A Whole-Interval Time Sampling

• "Records the antecedent, behavior and consequence of problem behaviors"
• The target behavior is recorded as a (+) if occurs throughout the entire interval
• The length of time a behavior occurs
• The length of time it takes to START a behavior

B Rate

• The behavior is recorded as a (+) if occurs at least once at any point during the

interval

• The number of times the behavior occurs
• Assigns numbers to different prompt levels
• The ratio of number of times a behavior occurs per unit of time

D Percent

• Count of Behavior/number of opportunities X 100
• The ratio of number of times a behavior occurs per unit of time
• The number of times the behavior occurs
• The length of time that a behavior occurs

A Scatterplot

• The length of time a behavior occurs
• The number of times the behavior occurs
• When the target behavior occurs
• The behavior is recorded as a (+) if occurs at least once at any point during the

interval C Duration 2 / 3

• The ratio of number of times a behavior occurs per unit of time
• The length of time it takes to START a behavior after the instruction is given"
• The number of times the behavior occurs
• The length of time a behavior occurs

D Prompt Level

• When the target behavior occurs
• Assigning numbers to different prompt levels
• Count of Behavior/number of opportunities X 100
• "Records the antecedent, behavior and consequence of problem behaviors"

B Partial Interval Time Sampling

• The behavior is recorded as a (+) if occurs at least once at any point during the

interval

• The target behavior is recorded as a (+) if occurs throughout the entire interval
• The time it takes to START a behavior after the instruction is given
• The number of times a behavior occurs

A Latency

• The length of time that a behavior occurs
• When the behavior occurs
• The length of time it takes to START a behavior after the instruction is given
• Count of behavior/number of opportunities X100

C Positive reinforcement is when you add a stimulus to the environment to increase the future frequency of that behavior.

A. TRUE

B. FALSE

A Low effort responses should receive the most powerful reinforcers.

A. TRUE

B. FALSE

B

Positive reinforcement should be delivered:

• Immediately after the desired behavior
• at the end of the session
• After you record the data

A The following is an example of an unconditioned reinforcer:
