NEW QUESTION 12
Three boys with autism, ages 7–10 years old, served as participants in a study. During baseline,
staff used response blocking when five instances of aggression or head-banging occurred within
10 seconds, until attempts ceased for 1 minute. During baseline and treatment, each occurrence
of aggression and head-banging was recorded daily and converted to the number of responses
per hour. Treatment comprised a differential reinforcement of incompatible behavior (DRI)
schedule coupled with response blocking after every head-banging or aggression. The staff
initially applied the treatment to head-banging, while continuing to take a baseline on aggression.
After noting treatment effects on head-banging, the staff then applied the treatment to aggression.
In this scenario, how was direct replication shown?

• A. Baseline and intervention conditions were include
• B. A baseline condition was implemente
• C. A changing criterion design was used wherein the criterion for reinforcement was gradually changed over tim
• D. The intervention was implemented in a staggered fashion across target behaviors after the initial baselin

Answer: D
