BCaBA BACB Exam Prep.
frequency Answer- the number of times a behavior occurs
rate Answer- (# of responses (AKA frequency) / # of time units)
duration Answer- the length of time that passes from onset to offset of a behavior or stimulus
latency Answer- elapsed time from the presentation of an antecedent stimulus and the response
inter-response time (IRT) Answer- measured by recording the duration of elapsed time from the offset of one
response to the onset of the next response
percent of occurrence Answer- (# of times it happens / # of opportunities for it to happen)
trials to criterion Answer- the number of responses the participant has emitted in order to meet the criterion
or standard for success
inter-observer agreement (IOA) Answer- method for estimating the reliability of a behavioral observation
system (review procedures for):
-permanent product recording
-event/frequency recording
-duration/IRT recording
-time sampling observational records
, equal interval graphs Answer- y/x axis equally spaced as opposed to those in standard celeration charts
cumulative graphs Answer- display of rates of a behavior in the form of changes in the slope or curve of the
response patterns generated as a function of conditions in effect
continuous measurement procedures Answer- measuring responses that lack a clearly discriminable beginning
or end
discontinuous measurement procedures Answer- measuring responses that have a clear onset and offset
7 dimensions of ABA Answer- applied, behavioral, analytic, technological, conceptual systems, generality,
effective
withdrawal/reversal design Answer- an experimental design that involves the removal of the intervention in
order to test it's effect
alternating treatments (multi-element design) Answer- a with-in subject or intensive experimental design
consisting of alternating presentations of two or more independent variable arrangements
changing criterion designs Answer- an ABA design involving successive changes in the criterion for delivering
consequences, usually in graduated steps from baseline levels to a desired terminal goal
multiple baseline design Answer- a single-subject or intensive experimental design that attempts to replicate
the effects of a procedure across:
-different subjects
-different settings
-different classes of behavior
