Applied Behavior Analysis Mastery Exam: Continuous and Discontinuous Measurement (Frequency, Rate, Duration, Latency, Inter-Response Time, Whole Interval, Partial Interval, Momentary Time Sampling, Permanent Product), Operational Definitions, Reinforcer and Preference Assessments (Asking, Free Operant, Trial-Based), Conditioned and Unconditioned Reinforcers, Schedules of Reinforcement (CR, FR, VR, FI, VI), Discrete-Trial Teaching, Mass and Mixed Trials, Naturalistic Teaching, Task Analysis, Forward/Backward/Total Task Chaining, Shaping, Prompting and Fading (Physical, Modeling, Visual, Gestural, Verbal), Differential Reinforcement (DRI, DRA, DRO, DRL), Extinction and Extinction Burst, Functional Behavior Assessment (Indirect, Direct, Experimental), Antecedent and Motivating Operations (EO, AO), Target Behaviors, Token Economy, Maintenance, Generalization, Discrimination and Stimulus Control, Behavior Reduction Plans, SOAP Notes, Supervision Requirements, Data Retention Guidelines, and Practical Applications for ABA Programming Exam Questions Verified and Provided with Complete A+ Graded Rationales Latest Updated 2026 continuous measurement record every behavior occurrence (includes frequency, rate, duration, latency, and inter-response time) frequency count every time the behavior occurs, have an obvious beginning/end rate how much behavior occurs per time, useful if sessions vary in time duration total extent of time a behavior occurs, clear beginning/end latency how long it takes a child to respond to your instruction, time between onset of the stimulus to the initiation of the response inter-response time (IRT) time between two successive responses, used for shortening/lengthening between actions discontinuous measurement interval recording, split a session into pieces of time whole interval recording behavior has to occur during the whole interval to count, good for increasing behavior partial interval recording engaged in behavior at some point in the interval, good for decreasing behavior momentary time sampling choose a specific time and see if the behavior is occurring at that time, good for multiple learners permanent product anything you can see after the behavior occurred (hole in the wall, completed homework, etc.) operational definition should be specific, observable, have inter-observer agreement (IOA) reinforcer something you present after a behavior occurs which makes it more likely to occur in the future preference assessment done to find objects and activities for which the learner has a higher preference for, shift over time and vary by setting types of preference assessments asking, free operant, trial based preference assessment- asking ask the learner or someone that knows them well, pre-task choice preference assessment- free operant learner is free to roam the environment, you just observe/measure how much time spent with each object, can be naturalistic or contrived preference assessment- trial based present stimuli in trials, can be single stimuli/successive choice, paired stimuli/forced choice, or multiple stimuli with or without replacement reinforcer assessment
