BCBA 4th Edition task list SAFMEDS TEST-2023-2024
Frequency - ANSWER The number of times the behavior occurs in any given
interval of time
Duration - ANSWER The amount of time that passes from the beginning to the
end of the behavior
Magnitude - ANSWER The force of intensity with which a response is emitted
Latency - ANSWER measure of the elapsed time between the onset of a
stimulus and the initiation of a subsequent response
Inter-response time (IRT) - ANSWER the amount of time that elapses between
two consecutive instances of a response class (temporal locus)
Trials to criterion - ANSWER The number of opportunities until success
Interobserver agreement - ANSWER The degree to which two or ore
independent observers report the same observed values after measuring the same
events
Momentary time sample - ANSWER The presence or absence of behavior are
recorded at precisely specified time intervals
Partial interval time sample - ANSWER The observer records if the behavior
occured at any time during the interval
Whole interval time sample - ANSWER when at the end of each interval the
observer records whether the target behavior occurred throughout the entire
interval
Repeatability - ANSWER whether or not behavior can be counted (frequency,
rate, magnitude)
Temporal Extent - ANSWER behavior occurs for a period of time (duration)
Temporal Locus - ANSWER behavior occurs at certain points in time with
respect to other events (latency, IRT)
Seven dimensions of behavior - ANSWER Applied, behavioral, analytic,
, technological, generality, effective, conceptually systematic
Applied - ANSWER investigating socially significant behaviors with immediate
importance to the participant
Behavioral - ANSWER entails precise measurement of the actual behavior in
need of improvement and documents that it was the participants behavior that
changed
Analytic - ANSWER demonstrates experimental control over the occurrence
and non-occurrence of behavior; functional relation was demonstrated
Technological - ANSWER written description of all the procedures used in the
study is sufficiently complete and detailed to allow for replication
Generality - ANSWER behavior changes that last over time occur across
environments and spread to other behaviors
Effective - ANSWER improves behavior sufficiently to produce practical results
for the participant
Conceptually systematic - ANSWER behavior change interventions are derived
from basic principles of behavior
6 attitudes of science - ANSWER Determinism, empiricism, experimentation,
replication, parsimony, philosophical doubt
Determinism - ANSWER the universe is a lawful and orderly place: all
phenomena occur as the result of other events
Empiricism - ANSWER objective observation of phenomena of interest,
thorough description, systematic and repeated measure, precise quantification
Experimentation - ANSWER investigating the functional relation between
variables
Replication - ANSWER used to determine reliability, the usefulness and
mistakes, but findings
Parsimony - ANSWER all simple, logical explanations of the phenomena under
investigation are ruled out experimentally or conceptually before more complex
explanations are considered
Philosophical Doubt - ANSWER checking and re-checking facts, always
question and be skeptical
