Question 1 of 6

1. Question
Which were safety precautions for escape extinction used in recent research?
- Arm splints assessment (rapid-restraint evaluation) for hand-to-head SIB
- Use of padded therapy rooms
- Establishment of session-termination criteria
- Use of a two-way intercom and one-way mirror
- All of the above
Correct

Incorrect
Question 2 of 6

2. Question
Which of the following was supported by the data analyzed by Fisher, et al (2018)?
- Excluding extinction from the FCT training would only make behaviors worse
- Levels of exposure to the EO negatively correlates to rates of destructive behavior
- Levels of exposure to the EO positively correlates to rates of destructive behavior
- None of these
Correct

Incorrect
Question 3 of 6

3. Question
How does Fuhrman, et al. (2018) explain the problem with implementing a multiple schedule for during FCT?
- Extended s-delta periods are a motivating operation for escape-maintained behaviors
- Extended s-delta periods interfere with learning tasks
- It is difficult to implement reliably
- In most cases, gradual fading leads to an eventual extinction burst
Correct

Incorrect
Question 4 of 6

4. Question
Athens and Vollmer (2010) demonstrated the utility of a concurrent schedule that manipulates parameters of reinforcement. In this demonstration, a VI schedule was used for each option. Which of the following applications from research also promotes using a schedule during training so that not every occurrence of the problem behavior or alternative response is reinforced?
- Application of behavioral momentum theory
- Use of multiple schedules
- Contingency-based progressive delay
- Time-based progressive delay
Correct

Incorrect
Question 5 of 6

5. Question
Which of the following might be an ethical consideration with regard to the use of escape extinction?
- Escape extinction is the safest choice
- Escape extinction is favored by the parents
- There are less-restrictive options for treatment described in recent research
- Escape extinction is the functional treatment, therefore it is the best and most ethical choice
Correct

Incorrect
Question 6 of 6

6. Question
Compliance and card exchanges are both examples of DRA for escape-maintained behavior. With regard to clinical applications, which is a critical difference?
- Compliance isn't really a communicative response
- With FCT (card exchanges), effective training should end with high rates of the alternative response
- Social validity favors high rates of task compliance and low rates of card exchanges (break requests)
- A pre-assessment should be conducted to determine whether FCT or reinforcement of arbitrary responses is best for the client
