Behavior Analysis Quiz

What is an antecedent in behavior analysis?

• Something that comes after a behavior

• Something that comes before a behavior and may trigger that behavior

• The consequence of a behavior

• The process of altering a target behavior

What is the definition of behavior in behavior analysis?

• Something that comes after a behavior

• Something that comes before a behavior and may trigger that behavior

• The consequence of a behavior

• Observable and/or measurable

What is a consequence in behavior analysis?

• Something that comes after a behavior

What does it mean for a study to be effective in behavior analysis?

• The study is based on learning and behavior

• The study uses technical interventions

• The study has altered the target behavior to a significant degree

• The study can be applied over time, with different people and in many different settings

What is the concept of generality in behavior analysis?

• The study is based on learning and behavior

• The study uses technical interventions

• The study has altered the target behavior to a significant degree

• The behavior goal can be applied over time, with different people and in many different settings

What is positive reinforcement in behavior analysis?

• The addition of an aversive stimulus following a behavior

• The removal of a reinforcing stimulus following a behavior

• The process in which a stimulus or activity is added directly after a behavior

• The process of decreasing the likelihood of a behavior occurring again

What is negative reinforcement in behavior analysis?

• The addition of an aversive stimulus following a behavior

• The removal of a reinforcing stimulus following a behavior

• The process in which a stimulus or activity is added directly after a behavior

• The process of decreasing the likelihood of a behavior occurring again

What is negative punishment in behavior analysis?

• The addition of an aversive stimulus following a behavior

• The removal of a reinforcing stimulus following a behavior

• The process of decreasing the likelihood of a behavior occurring again

• The removal of a reinforcing stimulus following a behavior

What is antecedent manipulation in behavior analysis?

• The process of altering a target behavior

• The process of decreasing the likelihood of problem behavior

• The process of making adjustments to the learning environment prior to the occurrence of problem behavior

• The process of creating a written plan for a student to improve behavior
