Original BCBA scenario practice question with answer explanation and wrong-choice notes.
Difficulty: medium. Skill: apply. Type: applied scenario.
Assessment suggests a learner throws materials to escape difficult writing tasks. Which replacement response should be prioritized first?
Correct answer
The replacement response should access the same functional outcome in an appropriate way. If behavior is escape-maintained, requesting a break or help is functionally matched.
Greeting peers does not access escape from writing tasks.
Naming snacks may be useful in another context but is not matched to the escape function.
Sitting silently does not teach an efficient communicative alternative.
