FIT ABA Chunk 3 Test
Questions and Complete
Solutions Graded A+
baseline - Answer: Pre-intervention assessment that is used to refine recording procedures, design the
intervention and provide data with which to compare intervention data when evaluating intervention
effects.
Behavioral view of "sensory defensiveness" - Answer: Tactile stimuli are negative reinforcers
Complete Behavioral Support Plan - Answer: 4 Elements: motivational operations, discriminative control,
replacement behaviors and consequence manipulations
Conditional probability - Answer: The likelihood of an event occurring, given another event (e.g., how
often a behavior occurs, given an antecedent). Formula: #A--> B/ # A OR # B --> C/# B.
Contextual Variables (setting events) - Answer: Variables that are more generally present stimuli that are
not necessarily manipulated as part of a behavior change program. May influence the efficacy of
behavioral procedures. Ex: medical status, task variation, number of staff, etc.
Dependent Group Contingency - Answer: Reinforcer for a group depends on the behavior of a single
person or small # of people
How to compute conditional probability of A-B sequences - Answer: # A-->B / # A
How to compute conditional probability of B-C sequences - Answer: # B-->C / # B
, Interventions that follow from assessment - Answer: Ecological changes, antecedent manipulation,
replacement skills, change consequences of appropriate and inappropriate behaviors, emergency
procedures, motivational operations
Lag 1 - Answer: Examines the liklihood that an event occurs given another event that occurs just before.
Example: A --> B
Lag 2 - Answer: Examines the liklihood that an event occurs given another event that occurs 2 events
prior.
Example: A2 --> A --> B
Lag sequential analysis - Answer: Computations that examine the liklihood that an event will occur given
another event. When conditional probabilities are calculated. It can be between an A and B, or between
a B and C. Formula for A and B: Prob(A-->B)/Prob(A). Formula for B and C: Prob(B-->C)/Prob(B)
Measure for task completion - Answer: # tasks completed / # tasks given or # tasks completed vs # tasks
not completed
Naturalistic behavioral assessment - Answer: Behavioral assessment that occurs in the natural
environment.
Pattern Analysis - Answer: Looking for patterns of behavior, noting any kind of correlation of behavior
and some other factor. Ex: time of day, staff, curriculum, etc. Common type of pattern analysis is
scatterplot
Replacement Skills - Answer: New skills that are taught to replace target behaviors in order to obtain the
same reinforcer
Sequence Analysis - Answer: Identifying events that typically precede and follow a target behavior. Also
called ABC Analysis.
