Behavior Intervention Quiz

What intervention is suggested for a behavior with the function of attention?

• Assess for skill deficit and teach skill

• Give access after desired behavior

• Shift the attention to the desired behavior

• Shape the unwanted behavior to a replacement behavior

What function matches an intervention that involves breaking tasks down into smaller parts?

• When the function is Attention

• When the function is Escape/Avoidance

• When the function is Access to...

• When the function is Stimulatory/Sensory

What type of intervention is used when the function of a behavior is Access to...?

• Differential Reinforcement

• Antecedent interventions to promote/teach expectations

• Allow escape/break after completion of task

• Ignore unwanted behavior

For a behavior with a Stimulatory/Sensory function, what is the recommended intervention?

• Schedule breaks

• Shape the unwanted behavior to a replacement behavior

• Shift the attention to the desired behavior

• Give access after desired behavior

Which intervention strategy is most effective for behaviors driven by a need for sensory stimulation?

• Provide alternative sensory activities

• Ignore the behavior

• Use time-out strategies

• Restrict access to sensory inputs

How should a behavior that serves an escape function be addressed?

• Immediate access to escape after the behavior

• Teaching alternative communication methods

• Increasing the difficulty of tasks

• Providing no reaction to the behavior

What is a suitable intervention for a behavior that is maintained by access to tangibles?

• Remove all tangibles from the environment

• Offer the tangible as a reward for appropriate behavior

• Ignore the behavior

• Use a fixed schedule of reinforcement

Which strategy is effective for reducing behaviors that seek to avoid tasks?

• Increasing task difficulty progressively

• Providing clear escape routes

• Offering choices within tasks

• Ignoring the avoidance behavior

What is an appropriate intervention for behaviors that are motivated by gaining adult attention?

• Providing attention for appropriate behaviors only

• Removing the adult from the environment

• Using time-out strategies

• Increasing task demands

How can a behavior maintained by the need for sensory input be appropriately addressed?

• Limiting sensory input to decrease the behavior

• Ignoring the behavior

• Providing structured sensory activities

• Using aversive techniques
