**Quiz** **1) What is the primary objective of the study conducted by Kimball et al. (2018)?** *a) to examine the effects of reinforcement on behavior* *b) to investigate the occurrence of resurgence with and without an alternative response* *c) to analyze the mechanisms of behavior change* *d) to compare different treatment options for problem behaviors* **2) What phenomenon does the study by Kimball et al. (2018) focus on?** a\) Extinction b\) Reinforcement c\) Resurgence d\) Punishment **3) Which of the following is a key finding of the study?** a\) Resurgence only occurs in the presence of an alternative response b\) Resurgence can occur regardless of the presence of an alternative behavior c\) Alternative responses prevent resurgence entirely d\) Resurgence is not affected by reinforcement history **4) What practical implication does the study suggest for behavior analysts?** *Expand your description of your performances to complete sentences that precisely describe the behavior.* *​a) Introducing an alternative response alone is sufficient to prevent resurgence* *b) Comprehensive strategies are needed to mitigate resurgence.* *c) Extinction phases should be avoided in treatment plans.* *d) Reinforcement history does not impact treatment outcomes.* **5) What do the authors suggest about the role of context and reinforcement history in resurgence?** *a) They are irrelevant to the occurrence of resurgence.* *b) They play crucial roles in the persistence and recurrence of behaviors.* *c) Context and history only affect the initial learning phase.* *d) They have a minimal impact on behavior change.* **6) What future research directions do the authors propose?** **a) Focusing solely on neural mechanisms.** **b) Exploring parameters influencing the magnitude and duration of resurgence.** **c) Abandoning the concept of alternative responses.** **d) Limiting studies to laboratory settings.** **7) What are some strategies suggested to reduce the likelihood of resurgence?** **a) Gradually thinning the schedule of reinforcement for alternative responses.** **b) Incorporating multiple alternative responses.** **c) Using differential reinforcement of other behaviors (DRO).** **d) All of the above.** **8) Why is ongoing monitoring and adjustment of treatment plans important according to the study?** **a) To ensure the complete elimination of problem behaviors.** **b) To address any resurgence that may occur.** **c) To avoid the use of reinforcement.** **d) To reduce the need for alternative responses.** **9) What methodological approach did Kimball et al. (2018) use in their study?** **a) Experimental Analysis of Behavior** **b) Applied Behavior Analysis** **c) Behavior Modification** **d) Behavioral Neuroscience** **10) What does the study imply about the sufficiency of introducing an alternative response during treatment?** **a) It is always sufficient to prevent resurgence.** **b) It may not be sufficient to prevent resurgence once the alternative response is also placed on extinction.** **c) It is irrelevant to the treatment of problem behaviors.** **d) It guarantees the permanent elimination of the target behavior.**
