The Answer is Any appropriate example is acceptable, provided that the student indicates whether or not a special setting would be required and the reason.For example: (a)Behavior to be decreased is using a spoon to throw (catapult)food around the room while sitting in a high chair.(b)To the extent that allowing the behavior to occur is not likely to be harmful to the child, a special setting would not be required.However to the extent that such behavior might be highly disruptive to others in the immediate vicinity, such as individuals in a restaurant who would likely interfere with the extinction program, a special setting would be required.
