TEST PREP QUESTIONS 2023-2024
A learner who requires a wide program with many goals
and targets is more likely to: - Have fewer behavior
problems and skills that are ready for generalization soon
One of the benefits of using an assessment tool that was
not designed solely for a population of individuals with
autism is: - They offer some external validity to levels of
functioning prior to and after intervention has started
One of the benefits of a workshop format for developing
training families and staff on skill acquisitions is: - A
unified plan of how to implement plans and intervene
with behaviors can be made collaboratively
According to Leaf et al. (2018), rates of learning on
labeling tasks after receiving reinforcement from paired-
stimulus preference assessment vs. an in-the-moment
analysis of reinforcers were: - No different between the
two methods for assessing preferences
Which of the following is most likely used by payers to
guide them in approving or discontinuing ABA treatment?
- Changes in the core characteristics of autism as defined
as a result of intervention
"4 out of 5 times for 10 consecutive data recording
periods" is an example of which part of a goal: - Criterion
to identify the standard for the behavior
,Behavioral Skills Training (BST) is often used to train staff
and families because: - It is an evidence-based practice
The Interview Informed Synthesized Contingency Analysis
(IISCA) uses: - Information from open-ended interviews to
determine which experimental conditions to use in a
functional analysis
Which of the following considerations related to
intervention data triggers the need for a re-assessment of
skills? - The client has not made much progress
Which of the following autism specific criterion referenced
assessments offer an assessment of 25 skill areas: - The
ABLLS-R
Criterion-referenced assessments are most useful for: -
Building skill acquisition programs
One of the biggest drawbacks of the workshop format is: -
It is often difficult to coordinate schedules for the time
needed
Which of the following could be a replacement behavior
for cutting in line? - Teaching to stand in line and wait
Which of the following is a consequence intervention
involving punishment? - Taking away a token
Which of the following could be a replacement behavior
for grabbing or stealing food? - Teaching the person to
ask for food
,Which of the following is included in a functional
assessment plan: - A definition of the behaviors of
concern
What is an interobserver agreement (IOA)? - When 2 data
collectors agree on data collected at the same time
during a behavior.
Consequence interventions involve - Reinforcing desired
behaviors and reducing the display of undesirable
behavior
Which of the following could be a prevention strategy for
a behavior that involves throwing items? - Minimizing the
number of items that could be thrown
Why are crisis plans incorporated into some behavior
intervention plans? - Because some behaviors cause a
risk to the safety of the individual engaging in the
behavior or others in the environment
Behavioral function tries to explain: - Why the behavior is
happening
Undesirable behavior can be reduced by: - Reinforcing
alternative behaviors, using extinction, or punishment
Which of the following can RBTs do in relation to
implementing intervention plans? - Collect data on the
effectiveness of the plan
Which of the following is an example of a motivating
operation: - Fred is hungry so crackers work well as a
reinforcer for task compliance
, What is the estimated percentage of self-injurious
behaviors that have automatic reinforcement as the
function according to Hagopian et al. (2015)? - 25%
Michelle is an RBT who is teaching a mother how to
implement a visual schedule for her child. What is
Michelle doing? - Training a parent how to implement an
intervention
Which of the following 2 assessments are often used in
conjunction to provide an overall picture of an individual's
receptive and expressive labeling abilities? - The
expressive vocabulary test and the peabody picture
vocabulary test
True or False: Deep programming involves setting a few
goals and targets at one time. - True
Automatic reinforcement is associated most closely with:
- Stereotypic behavior
Which of the following assessment and intervention
systems require certification in the specific programs? -
Early Start Denver Model and PEAK
Which of the following general statements about
assessment in relation to ABA programming is correct? -
Assessment is the foundation for every aspect of the
development and implementation of ABA programs
The overall goal of the PEAK system is to: - Encourage the
acquisition of skills that can be generalized and promote
higher order thinking in novel contexts
