[FinB] Raul, a 6-year-old, requires significant dental work. His mom reports that whenever he attends an appointment with his dentist, he tends to drop to the floor and l sometimes he throws objects. Raul’s behavior analyst designs a program where his mom starts shaping tolerance to sitting in a chair, having someone touch his mouth, and allowing dental instruments to be used. Raul’s mom receives guidance on how to use differential reinforcement to shape behavior, and how to introduce equipment and elements common to the dentist’s office before he visits his dentist. Which intervention approach to minimize problem behavior during the dental exam is this scenario likely an example of?

[FinB] During recess, a student begins pushing peers. The teacher observes this, brings the student inside, and has them sit at the back of the classroom for the remainder of recess.

[FinA] Greta, a behavior analyst working for a school system, works with a student who destroys property (e.g., throwing or breaking instructional materials-books, pencils, scissors) when presented with certain classroom activities. These academic activities seem appropriate based on the student’s skills and needs. However, the teacher is concerned about the impact of the student’s property destruction on other students’ learning and the potential for injury. Therefore, it is important to abate the occurrence of property destruction during academic activities. Which intervention would be most appropriate for Greta to use in this scenario?

[FinA] Gavino asks to go to the bathroom approximately five times during a 45-minute class period. His teacher implements a procedure to allow Gavino to use the restroom if at least 20 minutes have passed since his last request. Which differential reinforcement procedure is the teacher using?

[FinA] When Mac’s parents ask him to do his homework, he drops to the floor, throws a tantrum, and screams. After several minutes, his parents tell him he does not have to do his homework and can take a break. If Mac’s parents want to use extinction, what should they do?

[FinA] Anja, a behavior analyst, provides in-home services to a client who lacks independent play skills. The client engages in self-injurious behavior by hitting their chin with the back of their hand approximately every 5 minutes, causing bruising. A medical evaluation rules out any biological factors influencing the behavior. A functional analysis reveals that automatic reinforcement maintains the behavior, although no specific reinforcing sensory property was identified. Anja also observes that the frequency of chin hitting decreases when food is available. Which intervention would be the most appropriate for Anja to use in this scenario?

[FinB] In an IISCA, the analyst combines escape from math tasks and access to preferred snacks into one test condition, because interviews suggested both consequences maintain the client’s problem behavior. Which IISCA component is illustrated here?

[FinA] This graph illustrates which level of experimental control?
