BACB Exam Terminology.
Applied Behavior Analysis, Behavior Service Delivery, Conceptual Analysis #Watson, and Experimental Analysis
of Behavior answer - Four Branches of ABA
Reflex, Elicit, Involuntary, Unlearned, Phylogeny, Habituation, Watson answer - Respondent
ABC, Evoke/Emit, Voluntary, Learned, Ontogeny, Adaption, Skinner answer - Operant
Acknowledged the existence of private events but do not consider them in behavior analysis #Watson answer -
Methodological Behaviorism
Consider private events and their effects on individuals. Private Events include: self-management, self-
instruction, and thinking. #Skinner answer - Radical Behaviorism
Hypothetical construct, explanatory fiction, and circular reasoning are forms of answer - Mentalism
Stimulus class based on physical feature of common topographies (i.e. different colored cats) answer - Formal
Stimulus Class
Stimulus class based on physical features with different topographies (i.e. fruits) answer - Arbitrary Stimulus
Class
This type of reinforcement/punishment is has two types: escape and avoidance answer - negative
reinforcement
Type of avoidance that has a clear SD/SDP that you need to avoid. answer - Discriminated Avoidance
, Type of avoidance that does not have and SD, able to do but choose not to just in case. answer - Free Operant
Avoidance
Rate of responding in one setting goes in opposite direction in non-reinforcing setting. Presented in one
environment but not another. answer - Behavior Contrast
Shock, Overcorrection, Reprimand, Exercise, and Response Blocking answer - Positive Punishment
Response Cost and Time-out answer - Negative Punishment
Bonus and Direct Fine answer - Response Cost
Non-exclusionary and exclusionary answer - Time-out
Planned ignoring, contingent observation (in room but cannot participate), Time out ribbon, and take away RX
answer - Non-exclusionary Time Out (-P)
Time-out Room, Hallway, and Partition (wall divider so they cannot see) answer - Exclusionary Time Out (-P)
Stimulus control that requires stimulus generalization to know what fits in a class and discriminate (i.e. shades
of green but teal is discriminated) answer - Concept Formation
Compound schedules of reinforcement that have two response classes and occur simultaneously. answer -
Concurrent, Alternative, Conjunctive
This occurs when there is a competing stimulus in the environment that prevents an individual from acquiring a
skill #PreventsLearning answer - Overshadowing
