When reading a behavior intervention plan, it is important to
look for this so you know why the behavior plan was written.

These things are sometimes present in the environment prior to the occurrence of an antecedent and the targeted behavior it triggers.

When reading a behavior intervention plan (BIP), you should identify this to determine what the focus will be on.

Frequency, rate, duration, latency, permanent product are types of:

During a functional assessment, the BCBA notices that every time Stevie cries, it results in his parents rushing to his side and hugging him. The BCBA most likely will write this as the hypothesized function of behavior.

During a functional assessment, the BCBA notices that every time Matthew cries, it results in teachers removing work demands. The BCBA mostly likely writes this as the hypothesized function of behavior. 

During a functional assessment, the BCBA notices that every time Stevie is alone, he begins scripting Disney movies out loud. He will continue even when someone enters the room. The BCBA mostly likely writes this as the hypothesized function of behavior. 

What increases the future frequency of the behavior that it follows?

A student frequently elopes from the classroom. The teacher moves the student away from the door, places preferred stimuli near the student's desk, and relocates her own desk nearer to the door. These measures reduce the likelihood of elopement occurrences. These are good examples of…?  

This becomes more valuable when you want to leave a room:

This becomes more valuable when you walk into a dark room:

By using a variety of toys, keeping effort low, moving quickly and making toys easily accessible with you, you will be more successful with pairing yourself with this?

These are manipulated to evoke desired behavior.

In the past, Mike's spitting has resulted in escape. Mike's BCBA now only reinforces mands (requests) for a break, and places spitting on extinction. This is an example of this differential reinforcement procedure.

When using DRA, you combine reinforcement of desirable behavior and extinction to this?

Delivering reinforcement after an interval of time problem behavior has not occurred is know as what procedure?

You do this if problem behavior occurs during a DRO interval.

When using DRO, you gradually do this to the interval length once problem behavior decreases.

When implementing extinction, it is always wise to plan for this momentary increase in frequency/magnitude of problem behavior.

A consequence in which the reinforcement, that usually follows a behavior is no longer provided, resulting in an eventual decrease of the behavior is known as?

Seeing a “new or novel” behavior is one of the side effects of implementing which type of consequence?

Mrs. Smith's son Billy does not clean up his room often. She decides to give him attention after he cleans his room and as a result the behavior increases. After a while, she forgets to deliver attention. What might happen because of this forgetting?

Jane tantrums during tasks. The tantrums result in her being sent to the timeout room and she therefore does not have to do the task. Her tantrums continue unaffected. What seems to be the reinforcement?  

Procedures that should not be construed as capable of producing lasting change:

Emergency procedures are designed to do this until positive programming can have the opportunity to affect change.

Instead of assuming that the people we serve must get along with everyone with whom they come in contact with, a serious problem may be averted by simply doing this?

People sometimes react with physical aggression and property destruction when they are presented with demands or are pursued for compliance. In such situations doing this is likely to reduce many serious episodes in an emergency situation?
