What is ABA? - Correct Answer- -Applied Behavioral Analysis
-Operant conditioning developed by BF Skinner
Determine behavioral strengths and weaknesses by observing:
-Exactly what a person does
-When they do it
-At what rate
-What happens before behavior
-What happens after behavior
How does ABA work for treating Autism, in a general sense? - Correct Answer- -Selection
and systematic implementation of effective reinforcers.
-Identify what rewards work for the child
-Use the rewards according to a predetermined schedule to manage maladaptive behaviors
and elicit more adaptive ones
-Looks at behavior as an antecedent (cue or instruction), behavior and consequence
What are some of the key features of ABA for Autism? - Correct Answer- -Skills not
demonstrated by the child are broken down into small steps that are taught
-Multiple repetitions of trials in structured learning situations and everyday activities
-Instruction emphasizes teaching person how to learn
, -With progress, reduce guidance and fade prompts
-Teach to combine acquired steps in complex ways and practice in additional situations
-Problem behavior is not reinforced
How is each step taught in ABA? - Correct Answer- -Give clear instruction
-Assist in following instruction with prompt or physical guidance
-Use materials at child's level
-Get correct response
-Give reinforcer (reinforcer is the "consequence" that will lead to repeated behavior in the
future)

Intensity of scheduling
-Need for family follow-through

What is discrete trial training or DTT? - Correct Answer- -A one-to-one instructional
approach utilizing behavioral methods to teach skills in small, incremental steps in a
systematic, controlled fashion
-Discrete trials have clearly identified antecedents and consequences (e.g. reinforcement in
the form of praise or rewards) for desired behaviors
What is the "antecedent" in ABA? - Correct Answer- A cue or instruction
What is the main difference between ABA and DTT? - Correct Answer- ABA looks at
behavior in three steps (cue/instruction, behavior, consequence) and uses that method as a
form of intervention.
DTT breaks skills down into small discrete components and rewards good behavior.
