Question 1

Which of the following is a type of habit behavior?&#10;A)nervous habit&#10;B)motor tic&#10;C)stuttering&#10;D)all of these

Accepted Answer

All of these (nervous habits, motor tics, and stuttering) are types of habit behaviors, which are actions or behaviors that are repeated frequently and often unconsciously, and can be difficult to stop or control.

Question 2

Which of these might be an acceptable competing response for nail biting?&#10;A)grasping a pencil&#10;B)keeping hands in pockets.&#10;C)folding hands in lap&#10;D)all of these

Accepted Answer

All of these options could be acceptable competing responses for nail biting. Grasping a pencil can provide a similar physical sensation and can redirect the urge to bite nails to a more socially acceptable behavior. Keeping hands in pockets or folding hands in lap can help eliminate the opportunity to bite nails altogether, and can also redirect the urge to fidget towards something less harmful. Ultimately, the best choice would depend on the individual's preferences and habits.

Question 3

The involvement of significant others in the habit reversal treatment is called __________________.&#10;A)motivation strategy&#10;B)awareness training&#10;C)competing response training&#10;D)social support

Accepted Answer

The involvement of significant others in the habit reversal treatment is called social support. Social support can be crucial in maintaining motivation and providing additional encouragement during the treatment process.

Question 4

___________________ is a type of speech disfluency in which a person repeats words or syllables,prolongs the sound of a word or syllable,or blocks on a word.&#10;A)stuttering&#10;B)motor tic&#10;C)vocal tic&#10;D)vocal habit

Accepted Answer

Stuttering is a type of speech disfluency characterized by the repetition, prolongation, or blockage of words or syllables. Motor tics involve sudden, involuntary movements, while vocal tics involve sudden, involuntary vocalizations. Vocal habits are patterns of speaking that are learned over time and can be changed with effort and practice.

Question 5

______________ are repetitive vocal sounds or words that do not serve a social function.&#10;A)vocal habits&#10;B)motor tics&#10;C)vocal tics&#10;D)all of these

Accepted Answer

Repetitive vocal sounds or words that do not serve a social function are known as vocal tics. They are a type of tic disorder that presents as involuntary, repetitive movements or sounds. Vocal habits, on the other hand, are repetitive vocal behaviors that are performed intentionally and serve a social function. Motor tics are involuntary, repetitive movements that may occur alongside vocal tics in some individuals with tic disorders. Therefore, the correct answer is option C - vocal tics.

Question 6

In using a competing response to treat stuttering (also called regulated breathing),the first component is a quick relaxation procedure called _________________.&#10;A)slowed breathing&#10;B)relaxed breathing&#10;C)diaphragmatic breathing&#10;D)all of these

Accepted Answer

The quick relaxation procedure used in regulated breathing for stuttering treatment is specifically called diaphragmatic breathing, which involves deep breathing from the diaphragm to promote relaxation and control over the breathing pattern. Slowed and relaxed breathing are also important aspects of the competing response technique, but they are not the specific quick relaxation procedure used in the technique.

Question 7

Nail biting,hair twirling or pulling,knuckle cracking,and thumb sucking are all examples of _____________.&#10;A)nervous habits&#10;B)motor tics&#10;C)nervous tics&#10;D)habit reversal

Accepted Answer

These behaviors are all considered nervous habits, which are repetitive actions that people do unconsciously when they are feeling anxious or stressed. While they are not classified as motor or nervous tics, they still fall under the category of habitual behaviors that people engage in to cope with stress or nervous tension. Habit reversal techniques can be used to help people break these habits and replace them with more constructive coping strategies.

Question 8

_____________ are repetitive,jerking movements of particular muscle groups in the body.&#10;A)nervous habits&#10;B)motor tics&#10;C)nervous tics&#10;D)habit reversal

Accepted Answer

Motor tics are involuntary, repetitive movements or vocalizations that are sometimes preceded by an unwanted sensation or urge. They can occur in various body parts, such as the face, neck, shoulders, and limbs. Common examples of motor tics include eye blinking, facial grimacing, throat clearing, shoulder shrugging, and limb jerking. Motor tics are often associated with Tourette's syndrome but can also occur in other neurodevelopmental disorders or as a side effect of certain medications.

Question 9

After learning to identify each occurrence of the habit,the client learns an incompatible behavior and practices this behavior in session after each occurrence of the habit.Which habit reversal component is this?

A)motivation strategy
B)awareness training
C)competing response training
D)social support

Accepted Answer

Competing response training involves teaching the client an incompatible behavior to perform instead of the habit. This helps to reduce the frequency and intensity of the habit over time.

Question 10

After learning the definition of the habit behavior,the clients then learns to identify when the habit occurs.Which habit reversal component is this?&#10;A)motivation strategy&#10;B)awareness training&#10;C)competing response training&#10;D)social support

Accepted Answer

This component is known as awareness training, which involves helping the client become more aware of when the habit occurs so they can eventually learn to anticipate and prevent it.
