B - CORRECT ANSWERS-If Alex is using a shaping procedure to teach Lauren to use
the complete ASL sign to mand for water, what would the procedure look like?
A)
Alex makes the sign for water, then gives Lauren water when she makes the sign. Over
time, Alex stops making the sign and only provides water when Lauren independently
does so.
B)
Alex gives Lauren water contingent upon a modified sign. Over time, Alex only provides
water as each sign attempt becomes more like the real sign for water.
C)
Alex points to the picture of water and gives Lauren water after Lauren does a modified
sign for water. Over time, Alex only provides water after fading the picture from the
environment.
D)
Alex manually prompts Lauren to do the sign and gives her water. Over time, Alex only
gives assistance as needed, providing water at each success.
A - CORRECT ANSWERS-A behavior analyst has just accepted the case of a 7 year
old girl with behavioral and gastro-intestinal problems after determining that the case is
within her level of competence and resources. Now that she has accepted the case,
there are a few things she should do first. Which of the following should the behavior
analyst NOT attempt to do first?
,A)
Conduct a functional analysis.
B)
Ask the client's guardians if she has been evaluated by a medical doctor
C)
Review the client's old behavior plans and records
D)
Conduct a functional assessment interview
D - CORRECT ANSWERS-When teaching a person to tact a cookie, which of the
following is likely the best description of a possible tact training procedure?
A)
Deliver training only when the student has not had cookies for at least several hours.
B)
Deliver praise and a bite of the cookie after the emission of the word "cookie."
C)
Deliver praise after the emission of the word "cookie" when there is no cookie in sight.
D)
Deliver praise after the emission of the word "cookie" when there is a cookie in sight.
A - CORRECT ANSWERS-Across three days, there was low IOA on data collected
during a new procedure implemented with a student. For the student's behavior
measured by two observers, agreement was calculated at 40%, 50%, and 45% for each
respective day. What could be a potential issue?
A)
The definition of the target behavior is unclear.
,B)
The description of the teaching procedure is unclear.
C)
The student being observed is not consistently engaging in the targeted response.
D)
Percentages are dimensionless and shouldn't be used in behavior analysis.
D - CORRECT ANSWERS-To assess if treatment drift has occurred, which of the
following is least likely to be effective?
A)
Repeatedly review the recordings of half the randomly selected treatment sessions, and
measure if the treatment was followed as prescribed in just the selected recordings.
B)
Develop a data collection form that describes all acceptable variations of the treatment
and related environmental events, so the data can quickly be marked on the form.
C)
Arrange for two independent observers to observe at least 1/3 of the treatment sessions
and measure the delivery of the treatment compared to how it was originally prescribed.
D)
Conduct a functional analysis of the treatment delivery and determine which
antecedents and consequences maintain both correct and incorrect implementation of
the treatment.
D - CORRECT ANSWERS-Tommy's mom says he eats his food quickly: He takes 12
bites of food per minute. What would be the estimated average IRT?
A)
0.2 minutes

C - CORRECT ANSWERS-Of the following descriptions, which describes a typical
preliminary assessment of a potential client's behavior?
A)
The behavior analyst uses direct assessment and systematic manipulation of
antecedents an consequences to determine functional relationships.
B)
The behavior analyst conducts a literature review of the problem behavior, and
determines the likely functions of the behavior based on scientific research.
C)
The behavior analyst uses indirect assessments such as interviews, questionnaires,
and record reviews to assess problem behavior.
D)
The behavior analyst uses direct assessments to assess a problem behavior by directly
observing antecedents, behaviors and consequences.
C - CORRECT ANSWERS-The caregivers of a child are convinced that punishment will
be necessary to reduce their child's self injurious behavior (SIB). Which of the following
punishment strategies is likely the best?
A)
Each time the child engages in SIB, present the punisher, but also allow the child to
contact the reinforcer that maintains the SIB.
B)
Before the child engages in SIB, use an NCR schedule to decrease the frequency of the
self-injurious behavior.
