Questions and Answers

What is an example of a continuous measurement procedure?

  • Frequency counting (correct)
  • Momentary time sampling
  • Partial interval recording
  • Whole interval recording

True/False: Permanent-product recording measures the behavior as it occurs in real-time.

False (B)

Describe a scenario where you would use momentary time sampling instead of continuous data collection.

Momentary time sampling would be useful if you are observing multiple behaviors or multiple individuals at the same time, as it provides an estimate of behavior occurrence without requiring constant observation.

Give an example of how you have used a prompt and fading procedure with a client.

<p>When teaching a client to write their name, I might initially provide a hand-over-hand prompt to guide their writing. As they become more proficient, I would gradually reduce the physical guidance until they can write their name independently.</p> Signup and view all the answers

Describe how you would implement extinction for a client engaging in attention-seeking behavior.

<p>To implement extinction for attention-seeking behavior, I would withhold attention (e.g., eye contact, verbal responses) when the client engages in the behavior. It's important to ensure the behavior is not inadvertently reinforced by other individuals in the environment.</p> Signup and view all the answers
