Question # 13

A behavioral assessment indicates that the problem behavior of a young woman is maintained by others bringing things to her or taking things away following occurrence of the behavior.

Determine a potential punisher and deliver it following every occurrence of the behavior, but do not provide or remove other things following the occurrence.

B.

Prevent the behavior by physically blocking each response.

C.

Stop providing or removing things following the behavior and allow it to undergo extinction.

D.

Use protective equipment that prevents injury and establish a replacement behavior that results in things being provided to or removed from the woman.
