Sample BCBA Practice Question

This original C3RT practice item is from the BCBA question bank. It is not an official or released exam question.

A parent has noticed their child engages in crying as a way to gain attention. They decide to implement a negative punishment strategy by removing a favorite toy when the child cries. What is a potential downside of this approach?

  1. It may lead to an increase in crying behaviorCorrect
  2. The child may not associate the punishment with the crying
  3. It will be ineffective unless paired with reinforcement
  4. It may teach the child to hide their emotions

Rationale

Implementing negative punishment by removing a favorite toy can backfire as it may lead to an increase in crying behavior (Option A) if the child learns that crying effectively gains attention and toys. The child might not associate the punishment with the crying (Option B) if the removal is not immediate and clear. While pairing with reinforcement (Option C) may help, it is not a requirement for negative punishment to work. Teaching the child to hide emotions (Option D) can happen but is not an immediate outcome of this strategy.
