FBA Test UPDATED Exam Questions and
CORRECT Answers
What is functional analysis? - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔Systematic manipulation of
environmental events to experimentally test their role as antecedents or consequences
(causes) of specific behaviours. Only approach that allows us to draw conclusions.
What are the dimensions of behaviour? - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔-Frequency (how often
behaviour is happening)
-Intensity (physical energy involved in producing behaviour)
-Duration (length of time it lasts, and how long behaviour has been occurring)
-Topography (what the behaviour looks like)
-Latency (time between controlling stimulus and response)
What are the limitations of functional analysis? (3) - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔1. Takes a
long time, may put large strain on staff who have to do it.
2. Cannot be readily applied to dangerous situations.
3. Low frequency of some behaviours require lots of observation before enough data is
obtained to draw conclusions, and unethical to
What is an FBA? - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔Functional behaviour assessment. Set of
processes for collecting information about problem behaviours and defining the events in an
environment that reliably predict and maintain these behaviours.
What are the methods of completing an FBA? (3) - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔-Informant
methods (interviews, rating scales, checklists)
-Direct observation
-Functional analysis
What are the six main outcomes of FBA? - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔1. Clearly describe
problem behaviours, and which occur together.
2. ID the immediate antecedents that predict whether a behaviour will or will not occur.
,3. ID events, times, and situations that predict when the problem behaviours will or will not
occur across typical daily routines.
4. ID consequences that maintain the problem behaviours.
5. Develop summary statements or hypotheses to describe behaviours, when they occur, and
the outcomes maintaining them.
6. Collect direct observational data that support summary statements.
What is an informant/interview method for an FBA? - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔Talking to
the person with the problem behaviours and those around them to learn more about the
occurrence of the problem behaviours in context (i.e., what variables in the environment are
affecting the problem behaviour and what is its function?). Contextualizes the problem
behaviour by gathering information on setting events and antecedents, consequences,
alternative behaviours.
What is direct observation in an FBA? - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔Systematic observation
of the client in their daily life. Usually done by people who already work or live with the
person and shouldn't interfere with their daily life. Recording when problem behaviours
occur, antecedents, consequences, and perceived function.
What are the two main reasons to do an FBA? - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔1. Helps us build
effective behavioural support by considering the function of the behaviour.
2. Professional standard before behavioural intervention.
What are three companion assessments for a behavioural assessment? - CORRECT
ANSWER- ✔✔1. Person-centred planning
2. Activity patterns and social life
3. Medical and physical issues
What are medical causes of problem behaviour? - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔May be a
medical cause (i.e., headache, menstruation) that causes a problem behaviour. Investigate if
problem behaviour occurs suddenly and does not seem related to the person's environment.
Consult health care professional.
What is person-centred planning? - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔A companion assessments for
a behavioural assessment. Creates a vision of the future for an individual while considering
their strengths, interests, and support system.
, What is activity patterns and social life assessment? - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔A
companion assessments for a behavioural assessment. Focuses on quality of life to get an idea
of variety of activities, degree of community integration, and whether their preferences are
included in their behaviour plan.
What is medical and physical issues assessment? - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔A companion
assessment for a behavioural assessment. Identifies and rules out any medical or physical
issues associated with specific patterns of severe problem behaviour as well as the effects of
medication.
What are three value based assumptions of FBA? - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔1. Conduct
behavioural support with the dignity of persons in mind; behaviour is logical.
2. Understand the structure and function to teach and promote alternatives such that problem
behaviour becomes ineffective, inefficient, and irrelevant.
3. Look at contexts, not just blame the person.
What are coercive processes? - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔Negative patterns of interaction
between child and adult(s) in their life.
Where/how do problem behaviours develop? - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔In the context of
daily routines, coercive processes.
What percentage of parent-child interactions are coercive in typically developing children? -
CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔17%
What is an escape-driven coercive process? - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔Adult makes a
request or demand that triggers the problem behaviour to occur, as child wants to escape the
demand. When the adult reduces the demand, the child stops the problem behaviour, which
negatively reinforces both the adult and the child and increases the likelihood of the same
process happening in the future.
What is an attention-driven coercive process? - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔Adult is busy or
occupied, which triggers problem behaviour so child can get attention. The adult provides
attention and the child stops the problem behaviour, which is positively reinforcing to the
child and negatively reinforcing for the adult, increasing the likelihood it will happen again.
