RBT Behavior Reduction Strategies 3

Question 1

A child bites their hand whenever a demand is placed. The RBT stops presenting demands when biting occurs. This most likely:

Accepted Answer

Negatively reinforces biting by removing the demand

Answer

Removing the demand contingent on biting negatively reinforces that behavior, making it more likely to recur.

Question 2

Differential Reinforcement of Other Behavior (DRO) delivers reinforcement when:

Accepted Answer

The target behavior has not occurred for a specified time interval

Answer

DRO provides reinforcement after a set interval during which the target behavior was absent, regardless of what other behavior occurred.

Question 3

Which scenario best illustrates Response Interruption and Redirection (RIRD)?

Accepted Answer

Blocking a self-injurious hit and prompting the client to clap instead

Answer

RIRD involves physically interrupting the target behavior and redirecting the client to engage in a different response.

Question 4

An extinction burst is BEST described as:

Accepted Answer

A temporary increase in behavior frequency or intensity when reinforcement is withheld

Answer

An extinction burst is a temporary spike in the frequency, duration, or intensity of a behavior when reinforcement is first removed.

Question 5

Noncontingent Reinforcement (NCR) reduces problem behavior primarily by:

Accepted Answer

Abolishing the motivating operation that maintains problem behavior

Answer

NCR delivers reinforcement on a fixed-time or variable-time schedule regardless of behavior, which reduces the value of the reinforcer and decreases problem behavior.
