QBA COMPLETE PRACTICE
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Autism Spectrum Disorder - CORRECT ANSWER-Marked by:
-significant deficiencies in communication and social interaction
-rigidly fixated interests and repetitive behaviors.
Antecedent - CORRECT ANSWER-refers to environmental
conditions or stimulus changes that exist or occur prior to the
behavior of interest.
Consequence - CORRECT ANSWER--a stimulus change that
follows a behavior of interest
-affects only future behavior
Stimulus Control - CORRECT ANSWER-When behaviors are
emitted more often in the presence of certain stimuli
Response - CORRECT ANSWER-refers to a specific instance
of behavior
Extinction - CORRECT ANSWER--the diminishing of a
conditioned response
-occurs in classical conditioning when an unconditioned
stimulus (US) does not follow a conditioned stimulus (CS)
, -occurs in operant conditioning when a response is no longer
reinforced.
Operant Behavior - CORRECT ANSWER--any behavior whose
future frequency is determined primarily by its history of
consequences.
-learned behavior
Replication - CORRECT ANSWER-Repeating experiments to
determine the reliability and usefulness of findings.
Empericism - CORRECT ANSWER-the objective observation
of the phenomenon of interest.
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) - CORRECT ANSWER-The
science in which tactics derived from the principles of behavior
are applied to improve socially significant behavior and
experimentation is used to identify the variables responsible for
the improvement in behavior.
Topography - CORRECT ANSWER--shape or form of the
behavior
-what it looks like
Temporal Extent - CORRECT ANSWER--refers to the fact that
every instance of behavior occurs during some amount of time
-durarion of behavior
Temporal Locus - CORRECT ANSWER--refers to the fact that
every instance of behavior occurs at a certain point in time with
respect to other events
-when behavior occurs can be measured
