TESTED QUESTIONS AND STUDY GUIDE / EXPERT
VERIFIED FOR GUARANTEED PASS/ALREADY
GRADED A+||LATEST EXAM!!!
What is pseudobulbar affect - Answer-neurologic condition
in which people are prone to sudden, unexpected,
inexplicable, and often inordinate episodes of crying or
laughing
What factors influence the type and extent of behavioral
difficulties an individual may demonstrate after brain
injury? - Answer-site and severity of damage; pre-injury
characteristics of personality, intelligence, and learning
style, and the current environment
What is coma-emergent agitation? How long does it last? -
Answer-episode of agitation that may occur as an
individual emerges from coma that is usually brief, lasting
less than 10 days in duration
What is consequence-based programming? - Answer-
interventions focused on learning; not indicated for
,2|Page
individuals emerging from coma and demonstrating
agitation or confusion
What is often the safest and most efficient technique for
dealing with agitation in a behavior-based manner? -
Answer-through environmental management, where the
focus is on offering a quiet, organized, and structured
environment with limited and carefully managed
stimulation
What is the Stability Triangle? - Answer-Is a construct
which is useful when identifying treatment priorities and
establishing the treatment plan; contains the following:
establish medical stability, promote behavior stability, and
develop a stable activity plan
What is applied behavior analysis? - Answer-the science
of prediction and change of socially significant behaviors
What is behavior? - Answer-anything an individual does
that can be measured, NOT necessarily
yelling/hitting/spitting/etc.
,3|Page
What is the goal of applied behavior analysis? - Answer-to
discover variables that reliably influence behavior to either
predict behavior change or promote behavior change
What are indirect methods of behavior assessment? -
Answer-interviews, checklists, may be reviewed with
caregivers, family members, and the individual
themselves; can be subject to bias d/t self-reporting
What are direct methods of behavior assessment? -
Answer-direct observations of an individual, either in a
naturally-occurring situation or one in which specific
variables have been controlled or manipulated for
assessment purposes
What is Functional Analysis/Functional Assessment -
Answer-methods of direct observation within the field of
behavior analysis conducted by BCBA to pinpoint the
potential function or purpose of a behavior via
experimental manipulation
What is a functionally equivalent alternative? - Answer-a
behavior that serves the same function as the target
behavior but is safer or more appropriate and thus more
useful for the individual (e.g., instead of yelling resulting in
d/c of a non-preferred task, request a break)
, 4|Page
What is an operational definition? - Answer-a definition
that outlines what exactly will be counted as an
occurrence or episode of the behavior; must be
observable and measurable, and the definition must be
specific enough such that multiple observers can agree
upon what would count as an occurrence
What are two dimensions of a behavior that will be
important to take into account when developing an
operational definition? - Answer-topography (what the
behavior looks like physically) and intensity (describing the
measure of force)
What are five variables of interest when measuring
behavior? - Answer-frequency, rate, duration, latency, and
% correct
What is the four-term contingency within the field of
behavior analysis? - Answer-establishing operation;
discriminative stimulus; response/behavior; consequence
What is A-B-C analysis? - Answer-A=antecedent,
B=behavior/response, C=consequence
