that the reader understands what is being read:
a.
Tact.

Question 5

Which of the following intervention goals may
be addressed when the function of challenging behavior is sensory
regulation/sensory stimulation?
a.
Teach children appropriate ways to indicate
that they need a change in stimulation or that they do not like a particular
form or level of sensory input.
b.
Teach children appropriate behaviors that will
produce the type and levels of desired stimulation.
c.
Increase, within limits, the ability of
children to function in environments that do not provide optimal levels and
types of stimulation.
d.
All of the other answers are correct.

Question 6

The formal properties of language involve the:
a.
cause of the verbal response.
b.
topography of the verbal response.
c.
unseen forces of verbal language.
d.
language properties are not formal.

Question 7

Slow, rhythmical rocking, wearing headphones
to block noise, deep breathing, working in a study carrel, and turning the body
or desk away from peers and other auditory and visual stimuli are possible
examples of appropriate replacement behaviors that children may employ to
__________ sensory stimulation.
a.
decrease.
b.
increase
c.
maintain
d.
fade

Question 8

Several strategies can be applied to select
and arrange activities and materials that provide increased levels of
stimulation and that maintain appropriate levels of arousal. Task is
accomplished by presenting consecutive tasks for short periods of time, rather
than presenting one task for an extended duration. Children may become bored
when they are required to do any one task for an extended period of time (even
if the task initially was stimulating). When this occurs, the recommended
strategy is to change tasks frequently.

Question 9

When automatic reinforcement is hypothesized
as the function of a challenging behavior, an functional analysis or assessment
may be conducted that includes a condition in which there is an absence of
socially mediated consequences.

Question 10

Because they often are unstructured, lengthy,
and chaotic, with little focused direction and stimulation, we must develop
more effective and efficient .
5 points
Question 11

Which type of intervention to address the
sensory regulation/sensory stimulation function of challenging behavior
involves gradually increasing or decreasing a stimulus dimension (for example,
decibels, texture, or tactile pressure)?
a.
Fading of sensory stimuli.
b.
Response fading.
c.
Response shaping.
d.
All of the other answers are correct.
5 points
Question 12

The functional properties of language involve:
a.
causes of the verbal response.
b.
topography of the verbal response.
c.
language properties do not have functional
components.
d.
unobservable psychic antecedents.
5 points
Question 13

Some children easily become overstimulated or
overaroused in highly stimulating activities and tasks. Once they are
overstimulated, their level of arousal remains high and they may not be able to
participate appropriately during passive, less-stimulating activities such as
individual worksheets or reading. This is technically known as arousal .

Question 15

A type of verbal behavior in which a written
verbal stimulus has point-to-point correspondence and formal similarity with a
written verbal response.
a.
Tact.
b.
Echoic.
c.
Copying a Text.
d.
Textual.

Question 16

When the function of challenging behavior is
sensory regulation/sensory stimulation, the childs challenging (or appropriate)
behavior produces sensory input or it functions to regulate (that is, increase
or decrease) the level and type of sensory stimulation within the environment.
The amount of stimulation and sensory input that children desire and are able
to tolerate will vary across individuals. Likewise, the ability to process and
respond to sensory input will vary across children. Sensory stimulation may
occur within which of the following systems?
a.
Visual (vision), auditory (hearing).
b.
Olfactory (smell), gustatory (taste).
c.
Tactile (touch), vestibular (sense of movement
in body and space), proprioceptive (sensation in muscles, tendons, and joints).
d.
All of the other answers are correct.

sensory regulation/sensory stimulation function of challenging behavior
involves reinforcing small steps or successive approximations to the final
behavior goal?
a.
Fading of sensory stimuli.
b.
Response fading.
c.
Response shaping.
d.
All of the other answers are correct.

Question 19

Studies have documented that specific
behaviors occur more frequently in environments that provide low levels of
stimulation than they do in environments with higher levels of stimulation. For
example, children may engage in behavior such as hand mouthing or repetitive
manipulation of objects or self- injurious behavior such as eye poking that
increases levels of stimulation. What technical term is used to describe these
behaviors?
