Mikey has started engaging in some disruptive behavior during dinner time.
Specially, he will bang his utensils on the plate, making a noise that annoys his
parents. After about 30 seconds of engaging in this behavior, Mikey's parents take
his dinner away, tell him he did not earn a dessert, and sends him away from the
table. Despite their consistent implementation of these consequences, the behavior
persists. What would you hypothesize the likely function of Mikey's behavior to be?
A.Attention
B.Tangible
C.Escape
D.Avoidance
✓ ~~~ C.Escape
Kirstin has been called in to one of the schools she consults to in order to assess
Sofia's crying behavior. Her teachers report that it is very obvious when the behavior
begins and ends, and once she starts, the behavior lasts at least 10 minutes,
sometimes upwards to 2 hours. The behavior has become so disruptive that she is
often sent out of the room, and has been given a 1:1 therapist to help her. Kirstin
knows she needs to first ask the 1:1 to gather some baseline data. What type of
measurement system should she design?
A.Event recording - percentage of opportunities
B.Event recording - frequency
C.Duration
D.Partial interval
✓ ~~~ C.Duration
Pam is interested in assessing Dwight's "eye rolling" behavior. This behavior is
discrete with a clear beginning and ending. Pam can monitor the behavior for a
portion of the day, but isn't available to count the high rate of occurrences that occur
throughout the entire day. What type of measurement should she select?
A.Frequency
B.Duration
C.Partial Interval
,D.Momentary Time Sampling
✓ ~~~ C.Partial Interval
Haley is conducting a functional behavior assessment with one of her in-home
clients. She has completed indirect / informant methods and direct descriptive
methods for the report she is presenting to the team today. In her recommendations,
she has identified that a functional analysis should take place in the next few weeks.
Given that Haley has not yet conducted a functional analysis, what can she say
about the results that she has gathered?
A.Indirect & descriptive assessment methods have provided information that may be
suggestive of functional relations
B.Indirect & descriptive assessment methods have provided information that are
causal of functional relations
C.All results gathered are inconclusive as no FA has been completed
D.She should not recommend an FA as this client is an in-home client
✓ ~~~ A.Indirect & descriptive assessment methods have provided information that
may be suggestive of functional relations
Consider the previous scenario once more. Haley's in home client is a 4-year old girl
with developmental delays. After the indirect and direct/descriptive assessment,
Haley has narrowed the hypothesized functions down to 2: attention or escape. She
wants to conduct an FA that will allow her to assess just a few conditions, and for a
shorter amount of time each. Which type of analysis would be best?
A.Traditional
B.Latency
C.Brief
D.ABC data and conditional probabilities
✓ ~~~ C.Brief
Marney is a BCBA who has just completed the indirect phase of an FBA. Based on

A.ABC Data Collection
B.Preference Assessments
C.A scatterplot analysis
D.Assessment of conditional probability
✓ ~~~ C.A scatterplot analysis
Allison engages in problem behavior for which the function is attention. Her teacher
begins a new intervention where she floods Allison with attention often throughout
the day (non-contingent reinforcement). This intervention has been successful in
decreasing Allison's attention maintained problem behavior.
What would we say is the value altering effect of the NCR?
A.Establishing
Which of the following statements is true regarding the different types of functional
assessment and the results they yield.
A.Indirect assessments yield information about causal relations
B.Treatment can never be developed based on results of indirect and
direct/descriptive assessment alone
C.Direct/descriptive assessments yield information about potential correlations
D.Functional analysis is the only empirical assessment method
✓ ~~~ C.Direct/descriptive assessments yield information about potential correlations

mother is cooking, she will ask him whether his room is clean and instruct him to
