EXAM 1 UWF EDF6225 FOUNDATIONS OF ABA 141
QUESTIONS WITH VERIFIED ANSWERS 2025/2026
B.F. Skinner - CORRECT ANSWER Although most of you are preparing for the BACB
certification exam, please know that the material is based on the work of
________ and his science and philosophy of human behavior. There are occasions
where we may spend time on items that are no longer specifically required for the
exam, but we feel are required to be an excellent behavior scientist.
Standard Celebration Chart (SCC) - CORRECT ANSWER The ________ is the only
standardized form of data measurement in our science. In this course, you will be
charting your own behavior - specifically your daily study of ABA terminology.
Applied Behavior Analysis - CORRECT ANSWER The Behavior Analyst Certification
Board (BACB) is the single governing body for professionals in the field of
_______. The BACB was established in 1998 to provide certification to
professionals in an effort to establish minimum criteria to be a reactionary in the
field.
measurement - CORRECT ANSWER The standard celebration chart is the only
standardized form of data ______ in our science.
systematic approach - CORRECT ANSWER The word _______ refers to a systematic
approach for seeking and organizing knowledge about the natural world.
,description, prediction, control. - CORRECT ANSWER Scientific investigations can
yield information regarding the three levels of understanding, which are
_____ ,_______ , and _______.
-To achieve a thorough understanding of the phenomena under study.
-To seek to discover the real truths.
--so no bias by groups or organizations
--or by the scientists themselves. - CORRECT ANSWER What is the purpose for this
systematic approach?
Description - CORRECT ANSWER _______ studies produce a collection of facts
about the observed events that can be quantified, classified, and examined for
possible relations with other known facts.
(Can also suggest hypothesis, questions, or additional research ideas.)
Control; functional relationship - CORRECT ANSWER The highest level of scientific
understanding is ________ . In this regard, we specifically manipulate one event
(the independent variable) in order to produce a reliable change in another event
(the dependent variable), and the change in the dependent variable is not likely
due to other extraneous factors (known as confounding variables). This
relationship is referred to as a _______.
dependent variable - CORRECT ANSWER The _________ is the event in which we
observe change.
It exists when a well-controlled experiment demonstrates that a specific change in
one event (the dependent variable) is reliably produced by specific manipulations
, of another event (the independent variable), and that the change in the
dependent variable was unlikely to be the result of other extraneous factors
(confounding variables). - CORRECT ANSWER What is a functional relationship?
independent variable - CORRECT ANSWER The _______ is the event in which we
manipulate.
dependent variable (2) - CORRECT ANSWER The "behavior" we wish to change in
behavior analysis is known as the _________. (2)
independent variable (2) - CORRECT ANSWER The "intervention" we employ in
behavior analysis is known as the ________. (2)
independent variable; dependent variable - CORRECT ANSWER When we apply an
intervention, we are manipulating the _______ . The change we see in the target
behavior is known as the ________.
functional relationship; manipulate; change; extraneous variables - CORRECT
ANSWER A _______ is demonstrated when we ________ the independent
variable and see a ____ in the dependent variable and that change is not likely
due to______.
Determinism; Empiricism; Replication - CORRECT ANSWER ______ is the
assumption that the universe is a lawful and orderly place in which phenomena
occur as a result of other events. _______ is the objective observation of the
phenomena of interest. _______ is the repeating of experiments to determine the
reliability and usefulness of the findings.
