BCBA Exam Review (MOCK; 2)
The levels of understanding science include: -
Prediction, description, & control.
This involves the repetition of experiments to determine the reliability of things: -
Replication
This branch of behavior analysis concentrates on the philosophy of the science of
behavior. –
Behaviorism
This approach to understanding behavior attempts to explain all behavior, including
private events. –
Radical behaviorism
Which is NOT a characteristic of behavior analysis? –
- Effective
- Displays Generality
- Technological
- **Conceptually diverse
A behavioral consequence effects the response it follows. –
False
________ refers to a specific instance of behavior. –
Response
"Being frightened" qualifies as a behavior since it fits both conditions for an interaction
with the environment. –
False
Which of the following is NOT a part of the definition for behavioral consequence? –
- Follows a given behavior
- Alters the probability of future occurrences of that behavior
- **Rate of the given behavior will increase
- Is an environmental change
A reflex is a _______ _______ relation consisting of an antecedent stimulus and the
respondent behavior it elicits (e.g., knee-jerk to tap just below patella). –
Stimulus-response
A(n) ________ behavior is a behavior that produces indirect benefits to clients by
potentially increasing opportunities for participation in other environments. –
, Access
The preferred method of behavioral assessment to determine which behaviors to target
for change is ____________ _____________. –
ABC Recording
According to Linehan (1977) the purpose of behavioral assessment is to determine: -
A client's problem and how you change is for the better.
An anecdotal observation is a form of direct, continuous observation of all behaviors of
interest and the environmental conditions. –
True
Which of the following is not one of the four methods for obtaining assessment
information? –
- Interview
- **Ecological assessment
- Testing
- Direct observation
Behaviors that do not naturally produce permanent products can be recorded using: -
Videotape or audiotape.
If you are interested in amount of time it takes a student to begin a task after the teacher
has given an instruction you would measure ________ ________. –
Response latency
One benefit of measurement is that it helps practitioners verify the legitimacy of different
treatments. –
True
Which of the following is not an advantage of event recording? –
- It always takes form of numerical products
- It's easy
- **Practitioners do not have to observe the behavior as it occurs
- It does not interfere with ongoing activities
Duration recording and latency recording are the same. –
False
After an intervention is planned, the most _______ observation time should be selected.
–
Conservative
What is defined as the use of a series of symbols which are used to record the
presence or absence of classes of behavior? –
