BCBA Exam practice/145Questions with Detailed
Answers
Dependent Group Contingency - -The group's reinforcer is dependent on
the behavior of an individual or small group of individuals.
-Independent Group Contingency - -All members of a group are offered
a contingency, but only the individual's who meet the contingency earn
the reinforcement.
-Interdependent Group Contingency - -In order for the group to earn
reinforcement, all of the individuals in a group must meet the criterion
of the established contingency.
-Response Prompts - -Act on the response itself, NOT on the antecedent
stimuli (e.g. verbal, model, physical prompt).
-Stimulus Prompts - -Act on the antecedent stimuli, NOT on the
response (e.g. movement, position, redundancy).
-Differential Reinforcement of Incompatible Behavior (DRI) - -A
procedure in which behavior cannot be emitted simultaneously with the
challenging behavior (e.g. the behavior being reinforced and the
behavior on extinction cannot occur at the same time).
-Differential Reinforcement of Alternate Behavior (DRA) - -A procedure
in which one reinforces occurrence of behavior that provides a desirable
alternative to the problem behavior; alternate and challenging behavior
are not incompatible.
-Differential Negative Reinforcement of Incompatible/Alternate Behavior
(DNRI/DNRA) - -Terms used to refer to differential reinforcement
procedures that specifically involve escape as the reinforcer.
-Differential Reinforcement of Other Behavior (DRO) - -A procedure in
which reinforcement is contingent on the absence of the challenging
behavior.
-Differential Reinforcement of High Rates of Responding (DRH) - -A
schedule of reinforcement that provides reinforcement for emitting
behaviors that are at or above a pre-established rate; helps to increase
behaviors that are too infrequent.
-Differential Reinforcement of Diminishing Rates of Responding (DRD) -
-A schedule of reinforcement that provides reinforcement when the
number of responses in a specified time period is less than, or equal to,
, a prescribed limit; helps to decrease behaviors that occur too
frequently, but not eliminate it entirely.
-Differential Reinforcement of Low Rates of Responding (DRL) - -A
schedule of reinforcement that provides reinforcement only if the
behavior occurs following a specific period of time during which it did
not occur or since the last time it occurred; by increasing IRT, you are
lowering rate of responding.
-7 dimensions of ABA- Behavioral - -Observable events.
-7 dimensions of ABA- Applied - -Improves socially significant behaviors.
-7 dimensions of ABA- Technological - -Defines procedures clearly and
in detail so they are replicable.
-7 dimensions of ABA- Conceptually Systematic - -All procedures used
should be tied to the basic principles of behavior analysis from which
they were derived.
-7 dimensions of ABA- Analytic - -A functional relationship is
demonstrated.
-7 dimensions of ABA- Generality - -Extends behavior change across
time, settings, or other behaviors.
-7 dimensions of ABA- Effective - -Improves behavior in a practical
manner, not simply making a change that is statistically significant.
-Mentalism - -Approach to explaining behavior that assumes an inner
dimension exists and causes behavior (Freud)
-Hypothetical Constructs - -Presumed, but unobserved, entities (e.g.
free will)
-Explanatory Fictions - -Fictitious variables that are another name for
the observed behavior; contribute nothing to an understanding of the
variables responsible for maintaining behavior (e.g. "knows", "wants").
-Circular Responding - -The cause and effect are both inferred from the
same information (e.g. he cried because he felt sad).
-Behaviorism - -The philosophy of the science of behavior;
environmental (not mentalistic) explanation of behavior.
-4 branches of behavior analysis - -1. Conceptual analysis of behavior
(behaviorism): examines philosophical, theoretical, historical, and
methodological issues.
2. ABA: technology for improving behavior.
3. Behavior service delivery: professional practice, consultation, etc.
