Did you experience any issues during your testing session?

After successfully implementing FCT and the client’s responding reaches the mastery and generalization criteria, what is extremely important for the behavior analyst to do? Why is this important? (Hint: consider reinforcement) (2 pt) 

Jules is a 9-year-old girl who engages in spitting in the classroom setting. A functional analysis determined that Jules’ spitting is maintained by attention from her teacher. During baseline, Cara, the BCBA, collected data on the frequency of spitting and inter-response time (IRT) during Jules’ free time period at the end of the day. Free time involves 30 min of free access to preferred items, attention from peers, and no demands. During the free period, the teacher’s attention is dedicated to completing end-of-day tasks (e.g., filling out daily logs, cleaning up the classroom). When Jules engages in spitting, the teacher will deliver a reprimand and then return back to the end-of-day tasks.    Below are the data that Cara collected during seven baseline (BL) sessions of 30 min each.  BL Session # Frequency of Spitting Average IRT 1 5 6 min  2 4 8 min 3 6 5 min 4 10 3 min 5 4 7 min 30 s 6 12 2 min 30 s 7 8 3 min 45 s   If Cara wanted the teacher to implement a noncontingent reinforcement (NCR) procedure, how would she determine the initial NCR schedule? Describe the calculations needed to determine the schedule. (2 pt) How frequently would the teacher need to deliver attention? Provide the schedule of reinforcement (e.g., FT-1 min, VT-5 min) (1 pt). (Note: Calculator is available on Honorlock. Only use the calculator provided through Honorlock. Do not use your own calculator or phone.) 

Behavior analysts should program for  __________ when determining the initial teaching conditions such as who will implement the FCT, where it will be conducted, and how many responses to be taught.

Permitting [____1____] as an antecedent to responding may function as a [____2____] operation that increases the value of the consequence. 2 pt (Hint: think back to synchronous class discussion of Peterson et al. 2016)

Consider the following Wireshark trace:  What type of message is highlighted?

 Performance: Delay. Consider the network shown in the figure below, with three links, each with a transmission rate of 2 Mbps, and a propagation delay of 3 msec per link. Assume the length of a packet is 1000 bits. What is the end-end delay of a packet from when it first begins transmission on link 1, until is it received in full by the server at the end of link 3.  You can assume that queueing delays and packet processing delays are zero, but make sure you include packet transmission time delay on all links. Assume store-and forward packet transmission.
