Question 1

The positive practice portion of dry-bed training focuses on
A)urinating in the bathroom.
B)changing pajamas and the bed.
C)building bladder control.
D)establishing associations.

Accepted Answer

The positive practice portion of dry-bed training involves practicing urinating in the bathroom to reinforce the desired behavior and help the child learn to wake up and use the toilet.

Question 2

Compared to those with enuresis, healthy individuals are awakened by their
A)initial urination.
B)circadian rhythm.
C)REM interruption.
D)bladder tension.

Accepted Answer

Healthy individuals are typically awakened by bladder tension, which signals the brain that it's time to urinate, preventing bed-wetting. This mechanism is less effective or delayed in individuals with enuresis, leading to involuntary urination during sleep.

Question 3

In habit reversal for tics, the awareness training component involves
A)self-monitoring.
B)self-modeling.
C)self-prompting.
D)self-reinforcement.

Accepted Answer

Awareness training in habit reversal for tics involves self-monitoring, where the individual learns to become more aware of their tics and the urge to tic, as a first step towards managing them.

Question 4

Rapidly and deliberately performing tics as quickly as possible is known as
A)contingency training.
B)self-monitoring.
C)habit reversal.
D)massed negative practice.

Accepted Answer

Massed negative practice is a behavioral technique where an individual is asked to perform a specific undesirable behavior (such as a tic) deliberately and in a rapid, repeated manner. This approach is based on the principle that fatigue or discomfort associated with the repeated behavior may lead to a decrease in the frequency of the behavior.

Question 5

The urine alarm treatment for enuresis is effective in about _____ of cases.
A)25%
B)50%
C)75%
D)95%

Accepted Answer

The urine alarm treatment for enuresis is effective in about 75% of cases, making it a highly effective method for managing this condition.

A)Mowrer.
B)Bootzin.
C)Marlatt.
D)Azrin.

Accepted Answer

Dry-bed training was developed by Nathan Azrin.

The most effective behavior therapy for nocturnal enuresis is
A)the urine alarm.
B)the bell-and-pad.

Question 9

One major limitation of dry-bed training concerns
A)acceptability.
B)transfer.
C)efficacy.
D)maintenance.

Accepted Answer

The answer of One major limitation of dry-bed training concerns
A)acceptability.
B)transfer.
C)efficacy.
D)maintenance....

Question 10

In classical conditioning terms, the goal of the bell-and-pad method is to establish bladder tension as a(n)
A)UCS.
B)CR.
C)CS.
D)UCR.

Accepted Answer

In classical conditioning, the conditioned stimulus (CS) is a neutral stimulus that is paired with an unconditioned stimulus (UCS) to elicit a conditioned response (CR). In the bell-and-pad method, the bell is the CS and the bladder tension is the UCS. The goal of the method is to establish the bell as a CS that will elicit bladder tension as a CR.

Question 11

The _____ is the generic term for any device that wakes a person when the person begins to urinate.
A)urine alarm
B)bell-and-pad
C)wet-bed alert
D)wee alarm

Accepted Answer

Urine alarm is a generic term for any device that wakes a person when the person begins to urinate.

Question 12

The two basic components of dry-bed training are
A)overcorrection and response cost.
B)prompting and shaping.
C)shaping and overcorrection.
D)response cost and reinforcement.

Accepted Answer

Shaping and overcorrection are the two basic components of dry-bed training. Shaping involves gradually increasing the length of time the child stays dry before being rewarded. Overcorrection involves having the child practice staying dry for a longer period of time than they were able to do initially.

Question 13

_____ is used during the day to train clients to hold increasingly greater amounts of urine in their bladder.
A)Stimulus control
B)Retention control training
C)Response prevention
D)Bladder control training

Accepted Answer

Retention control training is specifically designed to help clients increase their bladder capacity and control, allowing them to hold more urine for longer periods during the day.

Question 14

The main difference between dry-bed training and the dry-pants method is the
A)age of client.
B)time of day.
C)medical condition.
D)equipment used.

Accepted Answer

The main difference between dry-bed training and the dry-pants method is the time of day they are implemented. Dry-bed training is typically used at night to prevent bedwetting, while the dry-pants method is used during the day to address daytime accidents.

Question 15

The urine alarm treatment of enuresis is based on
A)modeling therapy.
B)classical conditioning.
C)operant conditioning.
D)retention control training.

Accepted Answer

The urine alarm treatment for enuresis (bedwetting) is based on classical conditioning. It uses a sensor that detects moisture and triggers an alarm, waking the child so they can go to the bathroom. Over time, this conditions the child to wake up before the alarm, reducing or eliminating episodes of bedwetting.

Question 16

A tic is a recurring, sudden
A)rapid movement.
B)change in mood.
C)visceral irritation.
D)onset of pain.

Accepted Answer

Tics are characterized by recurring, sudden, rapid movements or vocalizations. They are often seen in conditions such as Tourette syndrome.

Question 17

The major weakness of relaxation training in the treatment of tics concerns
A)acceptability.
B)transfer.
C)efficacy.
D)generalization.

Accepted Answer

Relaxation training often struggles with transfer, meaning the skills learned in a controlled environment may not effectively apply to real-world situations where tics occur.

Question 18

Enuresis is the inability to voluntarily control urination in people over the age of
A)5.
B)7.
C)10.
D)12.

Accepted Answer

Enuresis, commonly referred to as bedwetting, is typically diagnosed in children over the age of 5 when they are expected to have developed the ability to control urination.

Question 19

One major shortcoming of punishment procedures for the treatment of tics concerns
A)efficiency.
B)generalization.
C)acceptability.
D)efficacy.

Accepted Answer

Punishment procedures for treating tics are often seen as less acceptable due to ethical concerns, potential negative emotional effects, and the preference for positive reinforcement strategies.

Question 20

The emphasis in dry-bed training is on
A)the prevention of enuresis.
B)parental modeling and response cost.
C)early intervention for enuresis.
D)children's developing self-control skills.

Accepted Answer

Dry-bed training focuses on helping children develop self-control skills to manage and prevent bedwetting (enuresis).
