Behavior analysts refer to such transitory increases in target responding as a ______ (Fisher et al., 2023).
burst
Nist and Shahan (2021) stated that extinction can often be associated with undesirable side effects. Is this true or false?
True
Treatments based on functional analyses, like FCT, typically reduce problem behavior by _____% or more (Fisher et al., 2023).
90%
According to (Fisher et al., 2023), the value of problem behavior decreases as time in extinction increases. Is this true or false?
True
Identify the Extinction Burst (select Y for yes or N for no): Calling someone back-to-back on the phone when they are not answering.
Yes
What is the function of a differential reinforcement of the other behavior (DRO) schedule (Thompson et al., 2003)?
To reverse the contingency by delivering reinforcers contingent on the absence of the target response.
Treatment effectiveness often _______ when the schedule of reinforcement is thinned (Fisher et al., 2023).
Decreases
Thompson et al. (2003) found that extinction resulted in slower reductions in responding than did DRO. Is this true or false?
False, it results in more rapid reductions in responding than in DRO (differential reinforcement of the other behavior).
Fill in the Blank: The increase in target responding coincides with the introduction of extinction is called ________ (Fisher et al., 2023).
Extinction burst
Fill in the Blank: When periods of extinction are introduced, the predominant target response may increase in ______________ (Fisher et al., 2023).
frequency, duration and intensity
Identify the Extinction Burst (select Y for yes or N for no): Repeatedly pressing on a broken doorbell when no sound is heard on the other side of the door.
Yes
Identify the Extinction Burst (select Y for yes or N for no): Pressing the hand dryer button once and grab a paper towel when the hot air does not come out.
No
Identify the Extinction Burst (select Y for yes or N for no): A child calling his mother's name over and over again while they are on the phone.
Yes
_______________ identify the environmental antecedents and consequences on that occasion and reinforce the behavior (Fisher et al., 2023).
Functional analyses
What is a noncontingent reinforcement (NCR) (Thompson et al., 2003)?
Contingency is eliminated by delivering reinforcers according to a response-independent schedule.
True or False: A discontinuation of the contingency between a response and its reinforcer sometimes produces a temporary increase in the response before its rate decreases called extinction (Fisher et al., 2023)
True
