[U6Q] A behavior analyst is working with a client who frequently screams to gain access to a train toy. The behavior analyst implements a DRA procedure where the client is taught to sign “Train” (ASL) an average of three times to get access to the toy. However, the client continues to scream instead of using the “Train” sign they mastered during natural environment teaching (NET). What should the behavior analyst have done differently when implementing the DRA procedure?

[U7Q] Erika, a behavior analyst who usually works with early learners, is asked to take on a case involving Otis, an 18-year-old with needs primarily related to independent living and social skills. Which of the following general risk factors pertains most to Erika taking on the case?

[U7Q] Joslin, a behavior analyst consulting in a classroom, learns that Timon has begun kicking and throwing items when given tasks. Joslin evaluates whether ignoring Timon’s behavior would be safe for herself and the teacher, given the presence of other students. Which of the following general risk factors is Joslin primarily considering?

[U7Q] In which of the following scenarios is an error of omission described??

[U6Q] Joel is working on communicating in full sentences, but he often speaks too quickly, making it difficult for others to understand him. To address this, Joel’s behavior analyst implements a protocol that provides acknowledgment and attention at the end of a conversation if Joel maintains a speaking rate of 120 to 150 words per minute. Which differential reinforcement procedure is the behavior analyst using?

[U7Q] Elias has expressed fear of medical exams and typically requires restraints during appointments. A behavior analyst has implemented a program in which Elias participates in pretend medical exams, receiving differential levels of “reinforcement” based on his level of participation. The program is conducted daily until Elias can tolerate a full medical exam without displaying problem behavior. This is an example of which intervention approach to minimize problem behavior during medical exams?

[U6Q] Mia sometimes hums during circle time. Her behavior analyst implements a DRL aiming for no more than two hums per lesson, but the teacher is uneasy rewarding any humming since this is disruptive to peers. What should the behavior analyst have recommended instead?

[U6Q] Taylor, a behavior analyst, works with Jordan, a child who uses a picture card system to request a handful of preferred toys and foods. Jordan’s tantrums, consisting of whining and foot stomping, reliably produce caregiver attention. After a functional analysis confirmed attention as the maintaining reinforcer, which intervention should Taylor implement?

[U6Q] Ricky, an assistant behavior analyst working in a school, has been asked to help a student who often drops to the floor and kicks when asked to transition from the playground back to the classroom. The severity of the behavior is not a concern, and the student complies with other school routines. The teacher is concerned about the student missing instructional time during this behavior and about other students seeing it as unfair if the student is allowed to remain on the playground while they go to class. The function of the student’s problem behavior has been determined to be escape from the transition. Given this scenario, which intervention would be most appropriate for Ricky to use?

[U6Q] When Lucas wants the blinds raised, he bangs on the window until his parents raise them. Lucas’ parents want for him to ask appropriately, rather than bang on the windows – but are concerned ignoring might lead to Lucas breaking the window and hurting himself. As a result, the behavior analyst will use differential reinforcement without extinction to teach Lucas to sign “Raise blinds, please” instead of banging on the window. Which concurrent schedule best supports this change?
