Question 1

Why is social behavior difficult to evaluate?&#10;A) because there are no pre-determined, well-defined standards for social behavior.&#10;B) because children do not engage in social behavior in the classroom.&#10;C) because parents never follow through when given the task to observe their child's behavior.&#10;D) because many diagnoses have the same symptoms.

Accepted Answer

Social behavior is difficult to evaluate because it lacks pre-determined, well-defined standards, making it subjective and variable across different contexts and cultures.

Question 2

Behavior occurs in a random and unorganized fashion.

Accepted Answer

Behavior, especially in humans and animals, is often influenced by various factors such as genetics, environment, and learned experiences, leading to patterns and predictability rather than randomness.

Question 3

Why is the distinction between academic and social behavior arbitrary?&#10;A) because academic behavior is controlled by intelligence and social behavior is determined genetically&#10;B) because neither the academic nor the social behavior of children with disabilities can be improved&#10;C) because children with both academic and social behavioral problems come from single parent families&#10;D) because both academic and social behavior are governed by the same principles of learning and respond to similar interventions

Accepted Answer

The distinction is considered arbitrary because both types of behavior are influenced by learning principles and can be modified or improved through similar intervention strategies. This highlights the interconnectedness of academic and social behaviors and their susceptibility to change through educational and behavioral interventions.

Question 4

Linear interventions are effective because they work for 95% of students.

Accepted Answer

Linear interventions, while effective for some, do not work for all students due to the diverse range of learning styles, needs, and backgrounds. A one-size-fits-all approach does not account for the individual differences among students.

Question 5

Which one of the following is the best definition for &#34;a student with challenging behaviors&#34;?&#10;A) a student who responds to Tier 1 and Tier 2 interventions.&#10;B) a student that engages in deviant behaviors and has a medical/psychiatric label.&#10;C) a student who responds to linear interventions.&#10;D) a student for whom traditional disciplinary approaches have failed.

Accepted Answer

A student with challenging behaviors is best defined as one for whom traditional disciplinary approaches have failed. This definition acknowledges the complexity and individuality of students' needs and behaviors, suggesting that conventional strategies do not work for every student and more personalized or alternative approaches may be necessary.

Question 6

What one person finds reinforcing or punishing, another person may not. Those determinations are based on:&#10;A) race, culture, and family structure.&#10;B) ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and age.&#10;C) upbringing, values, learning experiences, and culture.&#10;D) the type of teacher that person has.

Accepted Answer

The concepts of reinforcement and punishment are highly subjective and can vary significantly from one individual to another based on their upbringing, values, learning experiences, and culture. These factors influence what a person finds rewarding or aversive, as they shape personal preferences, behaviors, and interpretations of events.

Question 7

ADHD is 50 times more likely to be diagnosed in the United States than in Britain or France. This is because:&#10;A) in the United States, ADHD is viewed as a medical condition, whereas in Britain and France it is viewed as a conduct problem.&#10;B) in the United States, it has been proven that a neurological or biochemical deficit exists, so it is easier to diagnose.&#10;C) teachers are better equipped in Britain and France to implement intervention to assist students with ADHD.&#10;D) more students in Britain and France are diagnosed with oppositional-defiant disorder.

Accepted Answer

The difference in ADHD diagnosis rates between the United States and countries like Britain and France is largely due to differing perspectives on the condition. In the United States, ADHD is more commonly viewed through a medical model as a disorder that can be diagnosed and treated, often with medication. In contrast, Britain and France tend to approach ADHD more as a behavioral issue, focusing on conduct and potentially employing different strategies for management that do not necessarily involve medical diagnosis or treatment. This fundamental difference in approach contributes to the significantly higher diagnosis rates in the United States.

Question 8

Which of the following statements is true?&#10;A) All classrooms require the same social behaviors to be performed by students.&#10;B) Standards for social behavior are well defined.&#10;C) Behavioral requirements of the classroom differ from those of the real world.&#10;D) It is impossible for the same social behavior to be both appropriate and inappropriate.

Accepted Answer

Classroom behavioral requirements often differ from those in the real world due to the structured and controlled environment of educational settings, which may demand specific behaviors not necessarily required or emphasized outside of this context.

Question 9

The concept of control refers to the belief that:&#10;A) children can control their own behavior.&#10;B) children can be used to control other children's behavior.&#10;C) teachers are hired to produce academic behavior and control bad social behavior.&#10;D) teachers lack the skills to control students' behavior.

Accepted Answer

Teachers are often expected to manage classroom behavior and ensure a conducive learning environment, which includes controlling disruptive behavior.

Question 10

The same social behavior can be both appropriate and inappropriate depending upon the:&#10;A) student's intelligence quotient (IQ).&#10;B) particular context or situation.&#10;C) number of children in a student's family.&#10;D) amount of preservatives in a student's food.

Accepted Answer

The appropriateness of social behavior often depends on the context or situation in which it occurs, as different settings and circumstances call for different types of behavior.

Question 11

Which of the following represents a problem with conceptualizing behavior problems as mental &#34;illness&#34; or &#34;disorder?&#34;&#10;A) making a diagnosis requires a clinician to compare a child's observed behavior to societal standards, which vary across contexts and cultures&#10;B) there are not enough trained professionals to differentiate normal from abnormal behavior&#10;C) they can only be treated with medicine, which school leaders are unable to prescribe&#10;D) societal values deem mental illnesses and disorders to be detrimental to education
