BACB BCABA Exam - Topic 6 Question 9 Discussion

Actual exam question for BACB's BCABA exam

Question #: 9
Topic #: 6

Mrs. Carr's 4-year-old son, Jack, often interrupted her and asked her to play with him. Mrs. Carr would tell Jack that she would play later, but she often followed him and played for a few minutes. On a very busy day, Mrs. Carr told Jack that she could not play with him. Jack began to cry and ran out of the room. Mrs. Carr followed him, calmed him down, and played for a few minutes. This pattern was repeated several times so Mrs. Carr decided to be firm with Jack and to ignore future interruptions. The next day Jack came in sobbing and screaming, ''Play now!'' Mrs. Carr gave in and played with him. The most likely explanation for Jack's increasingly disruptive behavior is that:

AMrs. Carr has used respondent conditioning to train Jack to scream for attention.

BJack is experiencing an extinction burst which will cease shortly.

CMrs. Carr has accidentally shaped a more intense interrupting behavior from Jack.

DMrs. Carr has negatively reinforced Jack's interrupting because he stops screaming when played with.

I think she's just reinforcing the behavior by giving in.

Wait, is it really just 'sort'? I feel like there might be another utility that could also work for this. Let me double-check my notes quickly before answering.

I kind of remember that materials should have a specific flow in manufacturing. It makes sense that C would be the right choice, but I'm not completely confident.

Hmm, I'm not too familiar with the specifics of Vagrant box files. I'll need to think this through carefully to make sure I get the right answer.

I'm a bit confused by the wording of these answer choices. I'll need to re-read them carefully to make sure I understand the differences between them before selecting an answer.

Okay, let's see. The question is asking about the number of input classes, so I'll need to identify the different valid and invalid inputs based on the specification. That should give me the answer.

I'm a bit confused here. The question mentions the bottom sheet includes the text "Welcome to Android ATC", but that doesn't really give me a clear indication of the type of bottom sheet. I'll need to re-read the question carefully.
