I06 PART 2 EXAM QUESTIONS WITH CORRECT ANSWERS LATEST UPDATE 2026
Which is an example of a performance issue where problems with task clarification/prompting are
likely to be the controlling variable? - Answers the therapist routinely neglects to bring all teaaching
materials to home based sessions for the two children seen on Saturdays
Using a functional assessment approach, the PDC and PDC-HS can be used to identify the varbiables
that influence - Answers substandard performance
PDC-HS is useful despite employing an indirect measure of behavior, as many performance problems
are - Answers behavioral deficits, which are not well suited for assessments using direct observation
Following the curriculum instructions, the therapist has identified five letter blends to teach and has
coded the data sheet for 10 trials, using the level of blend difficulty (1 or 2) and exemplars number (1-
5). the therapist glances back and forth amongst the papers to track the data, often losing the childs
attention between trials and making little progress in learning. This is likely to be identified as a
performance problem associated with - Answers resource, materials, and processes
Most performence problems are the result of - Answers positive/immediate/certain consequences
and negative/future/uncertain consequences for the undesirable behavior
When prinicples of behavior analysis are used in performance analysis/diagnostics, the focus is on -
Answers identifying the function or controlling variables of the performance problem
A therapist working with a kindergartener on identifying numbers lays out all 10 numbers and says,
"Show me 6," as the child is looking under the table. The child finally looks up and picks "5" saying, "I
am five". The child is physically prompted to pick up the 6 several times and the therapist scores a 4,
erases this and then finally marks an 8.
This is likely to be identified as a performance problem associated with - Answers training and task
clarification/promprompting
In the analysis of excessice break taking below, how would the most likley consequence for taking a
break be characterized? - Answers positive, immediate, and certain
Which is an example of a performance issue where problems with training are likely to e the
controlling variable? - Answers a therapist fills out the data sheets, but all the levels of intervention
for least-to-most prompting (1-5) are numerically recorded as if they were most-to-least prompts (5-
1)
Diagnostic checklists, based on behavior analysis, that are designed to assess the workplace variables
underlying poor employee performance typically focus on - Answers staff skills, task clarity, resource
availability, and the consequences for staff behaviors.
performance analysis/diagnostics is defined as - Answers the process of problem solving around staff
performance problems based on the principles of behavior analysis
Which is an example of a performance issue where problems with resources, materials, or processes
are likely to be the controlling variable? - Answers Although the therapist finishes each session on
time, the therapist is late to the last three of four therapy sessions by several minutes ands runs to
the bathroom in between sessions.
Which of these variables is NOT asessed in the PDC-HS? - Answers staff work relationships
An ABC analysis (antecedent-behavior-consequence) of workplace performance problems is
performed at the - Answers individual level
The methodology using behavioral principles to assess work performance in the workplace that has
strong support in the research literature is - Answers (none of the above)
A staff person is teaching a man with disabilities to identify coin denomination from a field of three,
using least-to-most prompting and a detailed teaching plan. The staff person glances at the plan
quickly, sets out four coins and says, "Find the quarter," while touching the quarter. The man touches
the quarter, and the staff person scores an independent response. The staff person then completes
the data sheet for 10 trials and closes the data book. This is likely to be identified as a performance
problem associated with - Answers training and performance consequences
In the analysis for "coming to work late" below, are the consequences likely to maintain this
behavior? - Answers yes, as all of the positive consequences are certain
The PDH-HS may be useful to behavior analysts by providing them with a tool to understand
performance problems that do not respond to simple, quick solutions and to - Answers develop
interventions sensitive to the controlling variables of specific performance problems
Assessing the likely workplace variables attributing to the problematic performance of employees is
the focus of - Answers performance analysis/diagnostics
