BCBA Exam/295 Questions andAnswers/A+ Rated
stimulus class - -any group of stimuli sharing a predetermined set of
common elements in one or more of the following: physical features,
temporally, & functionally
-stimulus - -energy change that affects an organism
-response class - -group of responses with the same function & that
produce the same effect on the environment
-response - -specific instance of behavior
-behavior - -activity of living organisms
-applied behavior analysis - -science in which tactics derived from the
principles of behavior are applied systematically to improve socially
significant behavior and experimentation is used to identify the
variables responsible for behavior change
-empowering - -a dimension of ABA that say tools that work to instill
confidence
-doable - -dimension of ABA that says interventions should be
pragmatic
-accountable - -dimension of ABA; behavior should be directly &
frequently measured
-generality - -dimension of ABA; changes should last over time
-effective - -dimension of ABA; noticeable and reliable changes in target
behavior
-conceptually systematic - -dimension of ABA; procedures &
effectiveness should be described in terms of behavioral principles
-analytic - -dimension of ABA; a functional relation between
manipulated events and a reliable change in a dimension of target
behavior should be demonstrated
-technological - -dimension of ABA; operative procedures are identified
& described with detail and clarity
-behavioral - -dimension of ABA; behavior should be in need of
improvement, measurable, & target the client's behavior
, -applied - -dimension of ABA; improvements in behaviors that enhance
and improve people's lives
-operant behaviors - -behaviors not elicited by preceding stimuli but
influenced by stimulus changes that have followed behavior in the past
(e.g. not reflexive)
-respondent behavior - -reflexive behavior; elicited by an antecedent
-behaviorism - -philosophy of science of behavior, experimental
analysis of behavior, & applied behavior analysis
-functional relation - -well-controlled experiment that reveals a specific
change in one event (DV) is reliably created by specific manipulations of
another event (IV) and that is unlikely to be a result of confounding
variables
-antecedent - -environmental conditions or stimulus changes that exist
or occur prior to behavior of iterest
-consequence - -a stimulus change that follows the target behavior
-conditioned stimulus - -the stimulus component of a conditioned reflex
-conditioned reflex - -learned stimulus-response functional relation
consisting of an antecedent stimulus and the response it elicits
-operant conditioning - -the process and selective effects of
consequences on behavior
-reinforcer - -a stimulus change that increases the future frequency of
behavior that immediately precedes it
-punisher - -a stimulus change that decreases the future frequency of a
behavior that immediately precedes it
-positive reinforcement - -a behavior is followed immediately by the
presentation of a stimulus and occurs more often in the future as a
result
-negative reinforcement - -a behavior is followed immediately by the
removal or termination of a stimulus and occurs more often in the future
as a result
-extinction - -reinforcement is withheld for all members of a previously
reinforced response class and the frequency of behavior decreases to
prereinforcement level or stops altogether as a result
-punishment - -when a behavior is followed by a stimulus change that
decreases future frequency of that behavior
, -unconditioned reinforcer - -a stimulus change that can increase the
future frequency of behavior without prior pairing with any other form of
reinforcement
-positive punishment - -a behavior is immediately followed by the
presentation of a stimulus that decreases future frequency of that
behavior
-negative punishment - -a behavior is immediately followed by the
removal or termination of a stimulus that decreases future frequency of
the behavior
-unconditioned punisher - -a stimulus change that can decrease future
frequency of behavior without prior pairing with any other form of
reinforcement
-conditioned reinforcers - -a stimulus change that can increase future
frequency of behavior through prior pairing with other reinforcers
-conditioned punishers - -a stimulus change that can decrease future
frequency of behavior through prior pairing with other punishers
-stimulus control - -a situation in which the frequency, latency, duration,
or amplitude of a behavior is altered by the presence or absence of an
antecedent stimulus
-discriminated operant - -a behavior that occurs more frequently under
some antecedent conditions than it does in others
-discriminative stimulus - -a stimulus in the presence of which
responses of some type have been reinforced and in the absence of
which the same type of responses have occurred and not been
reinforced; increases momentary frequency of behavior
-establishing operations - -a motivating operation that increases the
effectiveness of some stimulus, object, or event as a reinforcer (e.g.
food deprivation leading to food being an effective reinforcer)
-contingency - -dependency of a particular consequence on the
occurrence of the behavior
-behavioral assessment - -a variety of methods (direct observation,
interviews, checklists, tests) to identify and define targets for behavior
change---seeks to discover the function of behavior
-target behavior - -specific behavior selected for change; should
consider whose behavior is being assessed and changed and why
-indirect assessment approaches - -interviews and checklists
