BCBA Exam Domain A Exam Questions With
Correct Answers
What are the three levels of scientific understanding? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-1.
| | | | | | | | | | |
Description 2. Prediction 3. Control | | | |
What is the goals of beahvior analysis? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-To scientifically
| | | | | | | | | | |
understand the variables that affect the behavior of living organisms across three
| | | | | | | | | | | |
levels of understanding (description, predicition, and control)
| | | | | |
Explain Description - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Describe the facts that are derived
| | | | | | | | | |
from observing behavior. Quantify and classify these observed events to test for
| | | | | | | | | | | |
possible relationships. |
Organizing and categorizing information into ABC data is an example of what? -
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Description |
Explain Prediction - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-With control, a primary goal of the
| | | | | | | | | | |
science of behavior. Look at the description of events to make a hypothesis about
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
function. Identify the probability of one event occurring when another event
| | | | | | | | | | | |
occurs.
When repeating ABC observations show a consistent relationship between the
| | | | | | | | | |
occurence of two events and you are able to predict a function. - CORRECT
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
ANSWER✔✔-Prediction
, Explain control - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Experimental test of the prediction.
| | | | | | | | |
Experimental demonstration that manipulating one event (the independent
| | | | | | | |
variable) results in a change in another event (dependent variable). Establishes
| | | | | | | | | | |
the functional relationship.
| |
What is testing the hypothesis to confirm what has been predicted? - CORRECT
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
ANSWER✔✔-Control
What is determinism? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-The assumption that the world is
| | | | | | | | | | |
an orderly, predictable, and lawful place where all events occur as a result of
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
cause and effect. | | |
Everything happens because of other events.
| | | | | |
In ABA, this is the assumption that behavior is caused by environmental stimuli.
| | | | | | | | | | | |
Human behavior is preceded by an antecedent. It does not typically occur
| | | | | | | | | | | |
spontaneously without cause. This is an example of what? - CORRECT
| | | | | | | | | | |
ANSWER✔✔-Determinism
What is empiricism? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-The assumption that knowledge is
| | | | | | | | | |
built on objective observation and measurement.
| | | | |
Reliance on a detailed description of events and objective quantification
| | | | | | | | | |
(measurement).
Empiricism = facts = evidence = data | | | | | |
