Question 2

Assume you are working with a student who really likes McDonald's. When you are out in the community with this student and you drive past a McDonald's, the student always begins to whine about going to McDonald's. If you say, No, the student begins to cry. If you still say, No, the student begins to kick and scream and whack his head on the car window. Assume you want to break this inappropriate chain of behaviors by removing the initial SD and substituting an alternative Sd. What would be one way of doing so?
 
  a. Use total-task chaining to help him learn the appropriate chain of behaviors.
  b. Tell the student that if he doesn't whine when you go past McDonald's you will stop for something to eat.
  c. Use shaping to teach the student to sign McDonald's.
  d. Avoid driving by McDonald's whenever possible. Instead drive past Wendy's and give the cue, Would you like to stop and get something to eat?
