Question 2

Andrea is 4 years old and nonverbal. She often becomes noncompliant (she says no, pulls away, and puts in a corner) when she is told to sit at the table to work on art activities. You, as her teacher, believe that Andrea is trying to escape the task and that breaks from tasks will be an effective reinforcer for her. You want to implement DRA because Andrea is nonverbal. Which of the following would be an example of DRA?
 
  a. If Andrea completes one step of the task, she can leave the table and take a break. If she is noncompliant, she must stay at the art table.
  b. Set a timer for 10 seconds. If Andrea does anything other than noncompliant behavior, allow her to leave the table and take a break. If she is noncompliant, she must stay at the art table.
  c. Set a limit on the number of times Andrea is allowed to say No. If she exceeds the limit, she must stay at the art table. If she says no fewer times than the limit, she can take a break and leave the art table.
  d. None of the above.
