False

Graphs provide clarity for making decisions about treatment.

True

The title of a graph should always be centered at the top.

False

The size of a graph should be adjusted to emphasize change in the behavior.

False

It is a good idea to crop unimportant data out of your graph.

False

When adding explanatory text to a graph, where should it go?

Inside the plot area

In which of the following types of graph is it acceptable to use color?

Color is never to be used.

If a client has an extraordinary day with a high rate of behavior that is not likely to be repeated in the future, you do not have to adjust the y-axis to accommodate it.

True

A major condition change line is a solid vertical line.

True

Jim watches his client and marks a box if the behavior of interest is displayed throughout the observed interval. Ed is using

Whole Interval Recording

The x-axis of a line chart represents

Time

A teacher suspects that students who can say all of their multiplication facts in under two minutes perform better on three-digit by two-digit division. What type of graph would be useful for determining if this is true?

??? Bar Chart

Preference assessments and reinforcer assessments are NOT the same thing.

True

In a _________________________ preference assessment, the individual is allowed to approach any stimulus desired and interact with it for as long as they want.

Free Operant

In single stimulus preference assessments, children are given free access to a room full of toys, but must choose only one to play with.

False

To get the best results from a preference assessment, be sure to include items the person has never seen.

False

In this preference assessment, children have access to a variety of toys and can interact with one or more as they choose.

Free Operant

The data collection method for free operant preference assessments is

Partial Interval

The preference assessment method in which children are presented with one item at a time.

Single Stimulus

The data collection method for single stimulus preference assessment

Duration

In which of the following preference assessments is the individual only allowed to choose each item one time?

Multiple Stimulus Without Replacement

The end product of a Multiple Stimulus Without Replacement preference assessment is items scoring based on _______________________________________________________.

Rank Ordering

Multiple Stimulus with Replacement is a hybrid of Multiple Stimulus without Replacement and Paired Stimulus preference assessments.

True

Multiple Stimulus with Replacement scored by rank ordering.

True

Which of the following preference assessments usually takes the longest to administer?

Paired Stimulus

Preferences are subject to satiation effects, while reinforcers are not.

False

Reinforcer assessments are a specific form of

Single Subject Design

Stimuli are types of

Antecedents & Consquences

Discrete Trial Training consists of massed trials of stimulus - response - reinforcement.

True

Discrete Trials are usually presented at a slower pace so that the child with Autism has enough time to process what is being asked.

False

DTT sessions usually expose the child to only one question repeatedly to ensure correct responding.

False

Endurance is shaped by gradually changing _______________ requirements in shaping procedures.

Duration

Shaping is a procedure that is used for

behavior reduction & skill acquisition

It is acceptable to change two components of a single behavior in one shaping schedule.

True

The term "successive approximations" refers to the behavior change methodology called

Shaping

The ultimate goal of prompting is to fade to

natural cues

When teaching children to brush their teeth, we almost always use most-to-least prompting

True

Least-to-Most prompting follows this sequence: No prompt, gestural prompt, verbal prompt, model, physical prompt.

False

The most salient question when considering most-to-least vs least-to-most is the degree to which _____________ is likely to negatively impact learning.

Making Errors

Fade within categories of prompts by adjusting

Magnitude

The most intrusive prompt type is the full physical prompt.

True

Prompt fading plans should include criteria for advancing and ____________________ .

Reversing

When a behavior is elicited by a stimulus without additional prompts and reinforcers, ________________________ has been attained.

Stimulus Control

Three methods of stimulus control transfer are: prompt fading, stimulus fading, and

Prompt Delay

Time delay may be progressive or _______________________.

Constant

Tokens are conditioned reinforcers.

True

The basic elements of a token economy include target behaviors, token schedule, reinforcer menu, and ____________________ .

Spending Rules

Antecedent-based approaches usually provide more rapid effects than consequence -based approaches.

True

Extinction of automatically reinforced behavior may include use of special materials that block access to the body.
