A tool used to assist with an evaluation

Question 5

Answer 8

Question 9

behavior analyst certification board (BACB)

Answer 9

A nonprofit 501 corporation established in 1998 to meet professional credentialing needs identified by behavior analysts, governments, and consumers of behavior analysis services

Question 10

behavior contracts

Answer 10

A written agreement that is used to establish the expected behaviors or tasks to be completed and the reward the client earns upon the completion of the agreement.

Question 11

Behavior contrast

Answer 11

this is associated with multiple schedules of reinforcement which often occurs between different settings.
The difference between Behavior Contrast and the Matching Law is that behavior contrast involves 2 separate schedules of reinforcement across 2 separate environments for 1 behavior.

Question 12

Behavior intervention plan (BIP)

Answer 12

A treatment plan designed to change or modify a target behavior

Question 13

board certified assistant behavior analyst (BCaBA)

Answer 13

A professional with an undergraduate level certification and behavior analysis or related field. The BCaBA provides behavior analyst services under the supervision of a BCBA.

Question 14

chaining

Answer 14

a teaching method to learn multiple steps of a skills

Question 15

consequence

Answer 15

Occurs immediately after the behavior and affects future behaviors

Question 16

Continuous Schedule of Reinforcement (CRF)

Answer 16

During CRF, reinforcement is provided every time a behavior is emitted

Question 17

Data

Answer 17

Factual information such as measurements used as basis for making clinical decisions.

Question 18

Data Collection

Answer 18

A method of gathering information

Question 19

Discrete Trial Training (DTT)

Answer 19

A teaching strategy that applies simplified and structured steps

Question 20

Discriminative stimulus (Sd)

Answer 20

An instruction that evoked a response

Question 21

Echoing

Answer 21

A verbal behavior where one speaker repeats the word of another speaker

Question 24

Error Correction

Answer 24

A procedure used when a learner engages in an incorrect response

Question 25

Errorless Learning

Answer 25

A teaching strategy that guarantees that the learner will respond correctly

Question 26

Evidence Based Practice (EBP)

Answer 26

A decision making model in which the best available evidence is incorporated in order to provide services to learners

Question 27

Expressive Communication

Answer 27

A verbal behavior used to communicate with others

Question 28

Extinction

Answer 28

When a previously reinforced behavior is no longer reinforced

Question 29

Extinction Burst

Answer 29

occurs during an extinction process where the target behavior increases in frequency or intensity temporarily

Question 30

Fine motor skills

Answer 30

focuses on the coordination and movement of small muscles of the hand

Question 31

Fixed Interval (FI)

Answer 31

an interval schedule is when a response is reinforced after a certain amount of time since the last reinforcement. a fixed interval is whe reinforcement is provided after a constant amount of time. Characteristics are moderate response rate with significant pauses after reinforcement

Question 32

Fixed Ratio (FR)

Answer 32

this means that reinforcement that is delivered after a fixed number of correct responses. Characteristics are results in high, steady responding until the reinforcement is delivered; good to use when teaching a new behavior; leads to a brief response pause after reinforcement, but responding time quickly resumes

Question 33

Functional Analysis (FA)

Answer 33

a standard for assessment in ABA to determine the cause of the target behavior. Environmental conditions are manipulated to evoke challenging behavior. For conditions are used: three test conditions (social positive; social negative; alone) and control condition, play. Test conditions are presented one at the time and an alternating sequence so the assessor can identify which conditions predictable results in problem behaviors like tantrums. This can lead to determine the function of the behavior (example: social positive, social negative, sensory)

Question 34

functional analysis screening tool (FAST)

Answer 34

Questionnaire designed to identify what influences the target behaviors ( for example Aggressive behaviors).

Question 35

functional behavior assessment (FBA)

Answer 35

A process designed to identify the target behaviors, what factors supports the behaviors, and the purpose of the behaviors. There are three main categories: observational, indirect (questionnaires), and Functional Analysis. During an FBA a variety of data is collected about when an identified behavior to evaluate the conditions in the context for the behavior is already occurring. The BCBA/QBA assessor will evaluate the data and form a hypothesis about the function

Question 36

Generalization

Answer 36

The ability of a learner to perform a skill under different conditions across multiple settings, people, and materials

Question 37

goal

Answer 37

The proposed outcome of an intervention

Question 38

Gross motor skills

Answer 38

Focuses on the coordination movement of the large muscle groups

Question 39

IEP (individualized education program)

Answer 39

A written document that is developed to defined the students educational needs in the goals to achieve those needs

Question 40

Intermittent schedules of reinforcement (INT)

Answer 40

INT is when some, but not all, instances of a behavior are reinforced. Example schedules can be a ratio or interval schedule.

Question 41

intraverbal

Answer 41

A verbal behavior where the speaker verbally responds to another speaker example: speaker one “ 1 … 2 …” responder “3”
