punishers that go along with it. What is the best name for this? - -behavior
cusp
-Sam was excited to show his supervisor an idea for a behavior plan. His
target behavior was "lose weight". What response should the BCBA provide?
- -Weight loss is a direct effect of other behaviors and not appropriate as a
"target behavior"
-Anjali, a BCBA, was in an IEP meeting for a new student in the school. One
of the attendees indicated that they conducted interviews with previous
teachers and they all said the boy exhibited the target behavior when he
wanted was attention. The attendee suggested the group move forward with
goals related to attention seeking. How should Anjali respond? - -Suggest
direct observation first
Suggest baseline data collection
Suggest a functional behavior assessment
All of the above are appropriate.
-Michelle wants to create a visual display that will compare the same
behavior of two or more participants. Her best option would be: - -line graph
-Dominique wants to create a visual display that will display discrete sets of
data that are not related to one another. Her best option would be: - -bar
graph
, -Miguel wants to create a standardized visual display that will demonstrate
frequency over time. His best option would be: - -standard celeration chart
-Emilia was working with a family that was having a difficult time
understanding Applied Behavior Analysis. They indicated that their
daughter's maladaptive behaviors came "out of nowhere" and that there was
"no logic" behind them. Emilia had to explain to them that the science of ABA
relies on the assumption that the world is a lawful place and that behaviors
are not random. Emilia is describing: - -philosophical doubt
conceptually systematic
determinism- correct answer
empiricism
-Zoe examined her assessment data. The data were undifferentiated,
despite her confidence that the function of behavior was to receive tangible
(i.e., chocolate). Upon investigation, she discovered her learner had free
access to chocolate the hour before each of her assessment periods. This
unplanned for variable is known as: - -duplicate variable
extraneous variable- correct answer
concurring variable
independent variable
-Morgan was concerned about his new learner - he would doodle during
math assessments and his grade was going down. He took baseline for 2
days, but there was no real pattern, so he immediately started the
intervention. What should have Morgan done differently? - -He should have
waited until there was a steady state of responding before beginning the
intervention.
correct answer
He should have conducted an assessment for at least two weeks.
He should have asked the learner if they liked art better than math.
Nothing - when a behavior is serious to the analyst, it warrants immediate
intervention.
-Sally examined her intervention data. She wanted her learner to increase
the number of words read per minute. According the SCC, there was a x1.4
celeration. When her supervisor (not a behavior analyst) asked how the
