QABA ACTUAL TEST PAPER 2026
QUESTIONS WITH SOLUTIONS GRADED A+
◉Discriminated avoidance. Answer: A signaled (SD) contingency for
behavior that indicates that engaging in the behavior will prevent
and/or delay the onset of an aversive stimulus.
◉transitive MO (CMO-T). Answer: A type of conditioned motivating
operation that is established when an environmental variable
establishes another event as a reinforcer or punisher, meaning that a
deprived item can only be acquired by a secondary stimulus,
establishing the reinforcing effectiveness of the secondary stimulus,
and evoking the necessary behaviors to contact the secondary
stimulus.
◉assent. Answer: The agreement of participation by a client who is
unable to give legal consent for their own participation.
◉Experimental Analysis of Behavior (EAB). Answer: A branch of
behavior analysis that deals with research on basic processes and
principles and is mainly conducted in laboratories.
, ◉behavior cusp. Answer: Behaviors that, when acquired, result in
the individual accessing new environments and, therefore, new
stimulus controls and contingencies(i.e., reinforcement).
◉pragmatism. Answer: A philosophical assumption underlying the
science of behavior analysis that focuses on practical solutions (e.g.,
if it works, don't fix it), which at the level of behavior, involves the
relation between the setting (A) and the behavior (B) is because of
the consequence (C).
◉generality. Answer: A dimension of ABA, which explains that any
behavior change should persist across time, settings, behaviors, and
people that differ from the original intervention conditions.
◉validity. Answer: Measurement is trustworthy when the
measurement that produces data is applicable and specific to the
target behavior of interest and the relevant dimension of that
behavior; in other words, you measure what you set out to measure.
◉performance monitoring. Answer: A systematic and objective
observation method of staff performance used to ensure procedural
fidelity and effectiveness of training and to assess for areas of
needed support.
