EDF 6225 EXAM REVIEW QUESTIONS
WITH ACCURATE SOLUTIONS 2026
▶ Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis (JABA) began publication. Answer:
1960s-1970s
▶ First journal in united states to deal with applied problems and gave
researchers using methodology from the experimental analysis of behavior
an outlet for publishing their findings. Flagship journal of ABA.. Answer:
Journal of applied behavior analysis (JABA)
▶ Founding fathers of ABA. Answer: Baer, Wolf, and Risley 1960s-1970s
▶ Defined the criteria for judging adequacy of research and practice in ABA
and outlines the scope of work for those in the science. Most widely cited
publication in ABA and remains standard description of the discipline..
Answer: "Some current dimensions of applied behavior analysis" (Baer,
Wolf, and Risley) 1960s-1970s
▶ Characteristics of ABA. Answer: 1. Applied
2. Behavioral
3. Analytic
4. Technological
5. Conceptually Systematic
6. Effective
7. Generality
▶ Investigates socially significant behavior with immediate importance to
the participants. Behaviors include: social, language, academic, daily living,
self-care, vocational, recreation and/or leisure.. Answer: Applied
▶ Precise measurement of the actual behavior in need of improvement and
documents that it was the participant's behavior that changed. The
behavior in need of improvement and it is a study of behavior (not about
, behavior). The behavior must be measurable and important to note whose
behavior changed.. Answer: Behavioral
▶ Demonstrates experimental control over the occurrence and
nonoccurrence of the behavior (a functional relation is demonstrated).
Answer: Analytic
▶ A written description of all procedures in the study and is sufficiently
complete and detailed to enable others to replicate it. All operative
procedures are identified and described in detail and clarity.. Answer:
Technological
▶ Behavior change interventions are derived from basic principles of
behavior. Better enable research consumer to derive other similar
procedures from the same principles. Assist in integrating discipline into a
system instead of a "collection of tricks". Answer: Conceptually systematic
▶ Improves behavior sufficiently to produce practical results for the
participants. Improvements in behavior must reach clinical or social
significance behavior. Extent to which changes in the target behaviors
result in noticeable changes.. Answer: Effective
▶ Produces behavior changes that last over time, appear in other
environments, or spread to other behaviors. Answer: Generality
▶ The science in which tactics derived from the principles of behavior are
applied to improve socially significant behavior, and experimentation is
used to identify the variables responsible for the improvement of behavior..
Answer: Applied behavior analysis
▶ Effective change, lasting change, and scientific approach. Answer: The
promise and possibilities of ABA
▶ Assent in services, including clients in every aspect of planning behavior
change, and combating ableism in services. Answer: Areas to grow in ABA
▶ Applied behavior analysis is set apart from other disciplines by. Answer:
Focus, goals, and methods
