  5. David is working with a child who frequently runs away. The research suggests that giving the child non-contingent breaks throughout the day may decrease this behavior.

Empiricism c. Experimentation d. parsimony

Task List A-

  1. Lyle screams when he can’t drink soda. When asked why he does this, his mother says “Lyle screams because he has ODD. His mind just works differently than ours”.
