QUESTION 1

"Select and Teach Functional Target Behaviors" is a specific strategy to promote generalization and maintenance. In this strategy, it is important to select replacement skills and behaviors with strong functional utility. The selected skills and behaviors should

	a.	promote independence.
	b.	be effective in multiple settings, and be reinforced by others in the natural environment and across environments.
	c.	be immediately useful to the student, and maximize participation in least restrictive environments.
	d.	All of the other answers are correct.

	a.	"OK, you all know what to do, so get to it."
	b.	"Get your book and read Chapter 5."
	c.	"Who is ready to read the science chapter?"
	d.	All of the other answers are correct.

QUESTION 3

A prevention strategy can involve how transitions and leisure times are managed for students. Which is the best example of the correct use of this strategy?

	a.	Have materials or activities available during leisure times.

QUESTION 4

Maintenance is achieved when the student:

	a.	continues to emit appropriate behavior (and does not emit challenging behavior) over time after intervention has ended.
	b.	ceases to emit appropriate behavior (and does emit challenging behavior) over time after intervention has ended.
	c.	continues to escalate inappropriate behaviors over time after intervention has ended.
	d.	None of the other answers are correct.

Answer 1

1.(d)

Behaviors that can be expected to (a) promote independence, (b) be effective in multiple settings, (c) be reinforced by others in the natural environment and across environments, (d) be immediately useful to the student, and (e) maximize participation in the least restrictive environment. For example, by speaking that please explain it again rather than just staying quiet.

2.(d)

A prevention strategy can involve how instructions are presented to students under this a teacher should look to shift from artificial cues, and sometimes to reinforcers.

3.(d)

To facilitate transitions and leisure times are managed for students by teaching the desired behaviors, employ a caregiver etc.

4.(a) continues to emit appropriate behavior (and does not emit challenging behavior) over time after the intervention has ended.

Maintenance is said to be achieved when the student is able to perform most of the behaviors that teachers want even after the systematic applied behavior analysis intervention has been withdrawn.
