BCBA Exam 5th Edition Questions with All
Correct Answers
1). Temporal stimulus class
Ans: Refers to TIME.
Stimulus changes that exist or prior(antecedent) or immediately(consequence) following
a behavior.
2). Functional stimulus class
Ans: understood best by their functional analysis of the effect of the stimulus on
behavior
ex: buzz could mean cell battery dying or dryer is done
3). Arbitrary stimulus class
Ans: Stimuli that evoke the same response, but they do NOT share a common
stimulus feature. They do not physically look alike or share a relative relationship,
categories
4). Formal stimulus class
Ans: physical features of stimuli (i.e. topography).
Ex; Size, color, intensity, weight & proximity
5). Response
Ans: An action or change in behavior that occurs in reaction to a stimulus. SINGLE
INSTANCE OF BX....EX when mailman hear dog barking they will run
6). Verbal operant
Ans: intraverbal, echoic, tact, mand
7). Multiple stimulus without replacement (mswo)
PaperStoc.com Page 1 of 45
, Ans: The chosen item is removed from the array, the placement of remaining items is
rearranged, and the next trial begins with a reduced number of items in the array
8). Msw
Ans: In an MSW Preference Assessment, the teacher places an array of items (usually
toys or edibles) in front of the child, and allows him or her to select one. After the child
plays with or consumes the item, the teacher replaces that same item in the array, and
replaces the unselected items with new ones
9). Fair pair rule
Ans: for every procedure used to reduce a challenging behavior ;you should have one
to replace an adaptive replacement behavior
10). Stimulus equivalence
Ans: The emergence of accurate responding to untrained and nonreinforced stimulus-
stimulus relations following the reinforcement of responses to some stimulus-stimulus
relations. reflexivity, symmetry, and transitivity, DERIVED STIM RELATION
11). Who can diagnose autism?
Ans: Any specialist in autism that has qualified training to be able to diagnose
12). What can test for stimulus equivalence?
Ans: symbolic matching-to-sample, EX a=b, b=c
13). Identical matching-to-sample
Ans: EX a=a, b=b
14). Operant conditioning
Ans: a type of learning in which behavior is strengthened if followed by a reinforcer or
diminished if followed by a punisher, BX U CHOOSE TO DO, SKINNER, ABA, EVOKE
15). Higher-order conditioning
PaperStoc.com Page 2 of 45
, Ans: A procedure in which a neutral stimulus becomes a conditioned stimulus
through association with an already established conditioned stimulus. EX exposure to
sunlight makes a baby sneeze, now when the door to outside opens a baby begins to
sneeze during this condition as well
16). Resource constraints
Ans: Constraining factors (insufficient time and / or money) that affect a statistical
method of data collection.
17). Criterion-referenced assessment
Ans: An assessment that compares a student's performance with a preset standard.
18). Curriculum-based assessment
Ans: This is a particular type of criterion-referenced test in which the test items are
taken from the curriculum being taught to the student. This type of test can provide
information regarding how well the student is learning the curriculum being taught.
19). Ecological assessment
Ans: an assessment protocol that acknowledges complex interrelationships between
environment and behavior - a method for obtaining data across multiple settings and
persons
20). Latency fa
Ans: TANTRUM, SELF INJURY, & AGGRESSIVE (dangerous) BX...A functional analysis
methodology where the dependent variable is the duration of time between the start of
the session and the first occurrence of the target behavior. Reduce risk by only allowing
behavior to occur once in a given session. HAS TERMINATION CRITERIA
SHORTER TIME FOR RESPONSE TO OCCUR MEANS BX IS FUNCTION
21). Termination criteria
Ans: -you determine, before hand, where the client's journey in therapy/session will
end
-begin with the end in mind

, 22). In-the-moment reinforcer analysis
Ans: - no formal preference assessment
- involves in the moment assessment of several variables:
- verbal and non verbal behavior
- frequency of delivery
- ability to condition
- looks at data to reevaluate what stimuli to use
23). Concurrent schedules of reinforcement
Ans: Schedules of reinforcement that exist at the same time for two or more different
behaviors (which are called concurrent operants). Which particular behavior occurs at a
particular time depends on the relative schedule of reinforcement, magnitude of
reinforcement, delay of reinforcement, and response effort for the available behaviors.
Compares reinforcers to determine which is more effective, CHOICE
Ans: the response requirements for reinforcement are increased systematically over
time independent of the participant's behavior
25). Precursor fa
Ans: Looks at what's happening right before a behavior occurs
26). Trial-based fa
Ans: FA in which a series of brief probes of test and control contingencies are
presented
not based on time, 3-5 trials to evoke/elicit bx
27). Successive preference assessment
Ans: Same as single
28). Duration based preference assessment
Ans: Items are presented to the individual and the proportion of time spent engaging
with the items is recorded
