EDF6225 FOUNDATIONS OF ABA EXAM ACTUAL QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS WITH COMPLETE SOLUTIONS VERIFIED
GRADED A++
Three condition qualifications under which reinforcement will occur
The timing between the end of of given response and the onset of the stimulus change
The role of motivation
The relationship between stimulus conditions present when the reaponse was emitted
4 term contingency of positive reinforcement
Establishing operations (EO)
Discriminative stimulus (SD)
Response
Reinforcing stimulus
Verbal Analog Conditioning
Being told something is important which increases its value. I.e. stars in a token board
Automatic Reinforcement
Reinforcement occurring independent of another person delivering it
Generalized Conditioned Reinforcers
A conditioned reinforcer that has been paired with many conditioned and unconditioned
reinforcers; does not depend on a specific EO to be effective
, E.g. tokens, money, points
Premack Principle
A principle that states that making the opportunity to engage in a high-probability
behavior contingent on the occurrence of a low-frequency behavior will function as
reinforcement for the low-frequency behavior; first, then
Motivating Operation (MO)
Alters the effectiveness of some stimulus, object, or event as a reinforcer and alters the
current frequency of all behavior that has been reinforced by the stimulus, object, or
event
Categorize Reinforcers by:
Edible
Tangible
Social
Activity
Types of Preference Assessments
asking
free operant (contrived- analyst adds stimuli to the natural environment) or (naturalistic-
environment has not changed)
trial based (I.e.paired stimulus, multiple stimulus)
Temporal Extent
extent of the behavior (duration); elapsed time between the onset and termination of an
event
