John has a tendency to yell at his classmates when he doesn't get his way during recess. Mrs. Cobb taught John that when he deomstrates inappropriate behavior during recess, he must sit on the playground bench for five minutes. Over time, John has begun to independently sit on the bench without being prompted by his teacher, when he yells at his peers during recess. What self-management procedure is John using?
- A.
Self-instruction
- B.
Self-monitoring
- C.
Self-evaluation
- D.
Self-punishment
Correct Answer
D. Self-punishmentExplanation
John is using self-punishment as a self-management procedure. Self-punishment involves implementing a consequence on oneself in order to decrease or eliminate unwanted behavior. In this case, John has learned that yelling at his classmates during recess is inappropriate, and he has taken it upon himself to sit on the bench for five minutes as a form of punishment when he engages in this behavior. This self-imposed consequence serves as a deterrent and helps John regulate his own behavior.Rate this question:

This procedure of generalization requires that the procedure successfully used to change a behavior in one setting be applied to all the settings in which the desired behavior change should occur.
- A.

Mr. Kirkland set up a picture schedule to transition students between activities. Once a student completed an activity they compared their work to a picture of the task completed. Ms. Kirkland's students were engaged in __________.
- A.
Self-monitoring
- B.
Self-instruction

Types of data collection procedures that have been successfully used by students as means for self-recording are:
- A.
Event
- B.
Latency
- C.
Anecdotal records
- D.
All of the above
Correct Answer
A. EventExplanation
Event, latency, and anecdotal records are all types of data collection procedures that have been successfully used by students as means for self-recording. Event data collection involves recording the occurrence or non-occurrence of specific behaviors or events. Latency data collection involves measuring the time between the presentation of a stimulus and the occurrence of a specific behavior. Anecdotal records involve recording detailed descriptions of specific behaviors, including the antecedents and consequences. Therefore, the correct answer is "all of the above" as all three options are valid types of data collection procedures used by students for self-recording.Rate this question:

The best person to manage s student's behavior is:
- A.
The teacher
- B.
The student
- C.
A school administrator
- D.
A peer
Correct Answer
B. The studentExplanation
The best person to manage a student's behavior is the student themselves. This is because students need to take responsibility for their own actions and learn to self-regulate their behavior. By empowering students to manage their own behavior, they develop important skills such as self-discipline, self-control, and problem-solving. This approach promotes autonomy and independence, allowing students to become active participants in their own learning and personal development. Additionally, when students are involved in managing their behavior, they are more likely to take ownership of their actions and make positive choices.Rate this question:

Self-recording appears to be most effective in:
- A.
Identifying necessary variation in intervention
- B.
Maintaining behavior changes resulting from traditional, teacher-managed strategies
- C.
Determining antecedents to behavior change
- D.
Increasing task fluency and the rate at which reinforcers are delivered
Correct Answer
A. Identifying necessary variation in interventionExplanation
Self-recording is most effective in identifying necessary variation in intervention. This means that when individuals keep track of their own behavior, they are able to recognize patterns and determine what changes or adjustments need to be made in their intervention strategies. Self-recording allows individuals to closely monitor their own behavior and compare it to desired outcomes, helping them to identify the specific variations or modifications that may be necessary for successful intervention. By actively participating in the recording process, individuals gain a deeper understanding of their own behavior and can make informed decisions about how to improve their interventions.Rate this question:

In science lab, students are provided with a list of questions to answer as well as detailed lab manual outlining the step-by-step experimential procedures to be completed. In this class, what self-management procedure is the teacher using?
- A.
Self-monitoring
- B.
Self-evaluation
- C.
Self-instruction
- D.
Self-reinforcement
Correct Answer
C. Self-instructionExplanation
The teacher is using the self-instruction procedure. This is evident from the fact that the students are provided with a detailed lab manual outlining the step-by-step experimental procedures to be completed. This implies that the students are instructed to follow the procedures independently, without constant guidance from the teacher. Therefore, the self-instruction procedure allows the students to manage their own learning and progress through the lab activities.Rate this question:
