What is a “behavioral chain” in ABA?
✔✔ A behavioral chain is a sequence of individual behaviors that are linked together to form a
complex behavior, where each behavior serves as a cue for the next one.
Describe what “positive reinforcement” means in ABA.
✔✔ Positive reinforcement involves providing a reward or pleasant stimulus following a desired
behavior to increase the likelihood of that behavior occurring again.
What is the difference between “stimulus generalization” and “response generalization”?
✔✔ Stimulus generalization refers to the occurrence of a behavior in the presence of stimuli
similar to the original stimulus, while response generalization refers to the variation in responses
that produce the same outcome.

, How does “functional analysis” differ from “functional behavior assessment”?
✔✔ Functional analysis involves systematically manipulating environmental variables to
identify the function of a behavior, while functional behavior assessment collects data to
understand the behavior's causes and functions without experimental manipulation.
What does “behavior modification” aim to achieve?
✔✔ Behavior modification aims to change specific behaviors by using reinforcement,
punishment, or other techniques to increase or decrease their frequency.
What role does “prompting” play in ABA therapy?
✔✔ Prompting involves providing assistance or cues to help a learner perform a desired
behavior, with the goal of eventually reducing the need for prompts.
What is the purpose of “behavioral objectives” in ABA interventions?
✔✔ Behavioral objectives define specific, measurable goals for behavior change, which guide
the development of intervention plans and help track progress.
Explain the term “reinforcement schedule” in ABA.
