Answer:
a. differential reinforcement of incompatible behaviors
Explanation:
Differential reinforcement of incompatible behaviors is an approach that involves replacing a problem behavior with a positive behavior by reinforcing and stimulating a positive behavior that cannot be exhibited the same time with the problem behavior. Differential reinforcement of incompatible behaviors works well especially in cases of people having autism spectrum disorder (ASD) where the individual engages in problem behaviors that inflict injury on the individual.
From the question above, the therapist uses the differential reinforcement of incompatible behaviors approach, as he uses praise as a reinforcement to increase the frequency at which Zander chews gum or sticks out his tongue, as these behaviors cannot occur together with the behavior of biting of lips. Chewing of gum, sticking out of tongues are reinforced in order to replace the biting of lips with them.
Answer:
Piper's test is the Stanford Binet, and Taylor's test is the WAIS (Weschler Adult Intelligence Scale).
Explanation:
Both test are used to <em>measure one's </em><em>intelligence</em> but they both differ in the way of measurement.
Let's break them down:
- Stanford Binet: it is divided into 4 scales (verbal reasoning, visual/abstract reasoning, quantitative reasoning and short-term memory). All these give a single score, known as the G Factor; <em>general intelligence. </em>
- WAIS: it measures <em>different capacities </em>and provides scores for each of them. It measures verbal comprehension, perceptive reasoning, work memory and processing speed.
In this case, Piper is taking the Stanford Binet since she will receive a single score, while Taylor is taking the WAIS and will receive 4 separate scores for each.
