BCBA Exam Review (MOCK; 5)
This approach to understanding behavior assumes that inner causes or phenomena
directly cause or at least mediate some forms of behavior, and strongly relies on
hypothetical constructs or explanatory fiction. –
Mentalism
Statements that describe the occurrence of the phenomena under study as a function of
the operation of specific variables are called: -
Functional relation
A study is analytic when: -
The experimenter has demonstrated control over the occurrence and
nonoccurence of the behavior and The experimenter has demonstrated a
functional relationship between the manipulated events and the behavior of
interest.
Approach to understanding behavior assumes that inner causes or phenomena directly
cause or at least mediate some forms of behavior, and strongly relies on hypothetical
constructs or explanatory fiction. –
Mentalism
Philosophic doubt requires the scientist to continually question the truthfulness of what
is regarded as fact. -
True
Which of the following is neither a form that behavioral consequences might take nor a
possible outcome of behavioral consequences: -
An already-present stimulus becomes part of the environment.
Respondent behaviors are part of the genetic endowment of each organism. –
True
_____ refers to a specific instance of behavior. –
Response
There are many principles of behavior but so far, only a few behavior change
procedures. –
False
Extinction is defined as removing a preferred item contingent upon inappropriate
behavior. –
False
, Learning a pivotal behavior can result in modification of other behaviors that have not
yet been learned. –
True
An anecdotal observation is a form of direct, continuous observation of all behaviors of
interest and the environmental conditions. –
True
Explicit behavior definitions are important to the practitioner of applied behavior analysis
for all of the following except: -
Increased likelihood of behavior change.
What approach to replacing unwanted behavior focuses primarily on developing
desirable replacement behaviors? –
Constuctional
When interviewing a significant other about a client's behavior, the behavior analyst
should ask variations of all of the following types of questions except: -
Why
A major disadvantage of using interval recording is that it requires the undivided
attention of an observer. –
True
Which of the following is not an advantage of event recording? –
Practitioners do not have to observe the behavior as it occurs.
Interval recording cannot provide an estimate of the number of times a behavior occurs
in the duration of the behavior. –
True
Decision making in education and treatment must be based on: -
Performance data.
Any operant behavior that results in minimal displacement of the organism in both time
and space is called a(n) _____ operant. –
Free
Measurement is accurate when observed values, the data produced by measuring an
event, match the true state, or true values, of the event. –
True
When independent observers obtain high agreement, __________ in the study
increases. –
Confidence
