A mand is a type of verbal operant in which a speaker:
a.
differentially responds to the verbal behavior of others.
b.
asks for (or states, demands, implies, et cetera) what he needs or wants.
c.
repeats the verbal behavior of another speaker.

Behavior of reading, without any implications that the reader understands what is being read:
a.
Tact.
b.
Tact.
c.
Intraverbal.
d.
Textual.

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 .

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.

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.

Question 17
A child s behavior may produce an internal change that is not observable and that is maintained by nonsocial, a/n reinforcing consequences.
Special Question Instructions: in the blank, fill in one of the following; attention, demand, automatic, or preferred.

Question 18
Which type of intervention to address the 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.
5 points
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?

b.
asks for (or states, demands, implies, et cetera) what he needs or wants.
c.
repeats the verbal behavior of another speaker.
d.
names things and actions that the speaker has direct contact with through any of the sense modes.
