Mock BCBA EXAM #1 Latest Update



Determinism - ANSWER Cause and Effect, Lawfulness: If/Then statements. The
world is orderly and predicable.

Latency - ANSWER The time between an SD and the response: "Bryson get your
shoes on (SD) - Bryson initiating getting his shoes on" The time from a reinforcer
to the next response is a latency and not an IRT, even if the reinforcer is
response-produced.

Inner Response Time - ANSWER The time from the start of one response
(behavior) to the start of the next response (behavior). The time between two
responses.

3 Branches of Behavior Analysis - ANSWER 1) Behaviorism 2) Experimental
Analysis of Behavior 3) Applied Behavior Analysis

Behaviorism - ANSWER Behaviorism is the philosophy and theory of behavioral
science, widely recognized due to the work of John B. Watson. Behaviorism was
the predominate model in psychology from the early to mid 1900's and is based on
the principle that psychology should be seen as a science. He argued that behavior
is observable and should be objectively and scientifically measured. Watson was
primarily concerned with the relationship between observable behaviors and
environmental events rather than on internal processes.

Experimental Analysis of Behavior (EAB) - ANSWER the intensive study, under
controlled conditions, of how environmental stimuli and consequences regulate
an individual organism's behavior.This is operant behavior, behavior that is based
on the consequences of that behavior. The creation of EAB showed that the
environment creates learned behaviors and has a functional relation. It also
allowed scientists to manipulate the environment in order to increase or decrease
an operant behavior. The theory of EAB was a result Skinners findings of the S-R-S
model or three-term contingency.

ABA - ANSWER Applied Behavior Analysis is a scientific-based field of study that
uses behaviorism as its philosophy and aims to improve socially significant
behaviors through experimentation. ABA is an applied science that develops
methods of changing behavior, and also, a profession that provides services to
meet diverse behavioral needs.

resistance to extinction - ANSWER Behavior that continues responding during

, the implementation of an extinction procedure.

Ordinate - ANSWER y-axis on a graph, Vertical

abscissa - ANSWER x-axis (horizontal)

Exclusionary Time out - ANSWER Individual removed from space.

3 Types: (RPH)

1. Room/Time-Out Room

2. Partition Time-Out

3. Hallway Time-Out

Permant product recording - ANSWER Recording tangible items or
environmental effects that result from a behavior, for example, written academic
work (also called outcome recording).

DRL - ANSWER Differential Reinforcement of Low Rates of Behaviors.
Reinforcement schedule that is used to decrease the rate of behaviors that occur
too frequently but should be maintained in the learner's repertoire

DRH - ANSWER Differential Reinforcement of High Rates of Behaviors.
Reinforcer is delivered for more than a fixed number of responses in a time period
-or- Reinforcer is delivered after an IRT less than some criterion amount of time.
Used to increase behavior. A particular reinforcement schedule in which
reinforcement is delivered for rates of responding ABOVE a specified
predetermined criterion (based on the individual's performance in previous
intervals). (e.g., more than three responses per 5 minutes).

Discontinuous Measurement - ANSWER measurement conducted in a manner
such that some instances of the response class(es) of interest may not be detected

Whole Interval

Partial Interval

Momentary Time Sampling

Whole Interval Recording - ANSWER involves checking off the interval if the
behavior occurs throughout the WHOLE interval. Use when it is difficult to tell
when the behavior begins or ends, when it occurs at such a high rate it is difficult
to keep count. An under-exaggeration of behavior, you use this method to increase
