CBC Program Design & Implementation Flashcards

When designing a behavior intervention plan (BIP), what should the function of the behavior determine?

Answer: The replacement behavior and reinforcement strategy selected

Function-based interventions match the replacement behavior and reinforcer to the maintaining consequence identified in the functional assessment.

Generalization programming requires that a skill be practiced across multiple what?

Answer: People, settings, and materials

True generalization requires the behavior to occur across varied trainers, environments, and stimulus variations beyond the original training context.

Which component of a behavior support plan outlines specific positive programming strategies designed to teach new skills?

Answer: Proactive/instructional strategies section

The proactive strategies section focuses on skill-building and environmental modifications that prevent problem behavior rather than reacting to it.

A behavior consultant selects a differential reinforcement of alternative behavior (DRA) procedure. What is being reinforced under DRA?

Answer: A specific functionally equivalent replacement behavior

DRA reinforces a designated alternative behavior that serves the same function as the problem behavior, making the alternative more efficient.

What is the purpose of including a 'maintenance plan' in a behavior support program?

Answer: To ensure learned skills persist after intensive support is reduced

A maintenance plan includes strategies such as intermittent reinforcement schedules to sustain behavior gains as formal intervention intensity decreases.

In a behavior support plan, a 'competing behavior pathway' diagram is used to illustrate what?

Answer: The relationship between setting events, antecedents, problem behavior, and replacement behavior

The competing behavior pathway visually maps how setting events and antecedents lead to either the problem behavior or the desired replacement behavior and their respective outcomes.
