Functional Behavior Assessment
UPDATED Exam Questions and
CORRECT Answers
Functions of Behavior - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔Social positive (attention), Tangible,
Automatic, Social negative (escape)
FBA methods - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔Functional (experimental) analysis, Descriptive
descriptive analysis, Indirect descriptive assessment, Structured descriptive assessment
Types of Indirect FBA - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔Interviews, Rating scales, Checklist
Strategy for conducting an FBA - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔Gather information via indirect
and descriptive assessments, Interpret information and formulate hypotheses, Test these
hypotheses using functional analysis, Develop intervention
Types of descriptive FBA - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔Continuous, Narrative, Scatterplot
Role of FBA in intervention - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔Identify antecedent variables that
can be altered to prevent problem behavior, Identify reinforcement contingencies that can be
altered so that problem behavior no longer receives reinforcement, Identify reinforcers for
alternative replacement behaviors.
Functional Analysis - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔Systematically manipulating environmental
events thought to maintain problem behavior within an experimental design, Conducted
within analog conditions that represent naturally occurring routines.
Role of Functinal Analysis - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔Clear demonstration of the
variable(s) that relate to the occurrence of problem behavior, Confirm hypotheses regarding
the function of problem behavior
Direct Descriptive Assessment - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔Observation of the problem
behavior in relation to events that are not arranged in a systematic manner, Direct observation
of behavior made under naturally occurring conditions
