BCBA Exam Review (MOCK; 4) With 150 Questions and Answers Psychology in the early 1900s was dominated by the study of behavior through: - ANSWER Interospection A parsimonious explanation of a phenomena is more complex and abstract than less scientific explanations. - ANSWER False The idea that simple, logical explanations must be ruled out, experimentally or conceptually, before more complex or abstract explanations are considered. - ANSWER Parsimony Behaviorism is the science of human behavior. - ANSWER False Which of the following is not a component specified in the definition of applied behavioral analysis? - ANSWER Applied behavior analysis seeks to produc e statistically significant results. Operant conditioning encompasses both reinforcement and punishment. - ANSWER True When certain stimuli increase the future probability of a behavior when they are terminated immediately following a response, what has occurred is terminated: - ANSWER Negative reinforcement A ________________ _____________ is a group of responses of varying topography, all of which produce the same effect on the environment. - ANSWER Response class Behavior that is elicited by antecedent stimuli is referred to as: - ANSWER Respondent behavior Operant conditioning is best described as a stimulus-response relationship, where the stimulus _____ the response. - ANSWER Evokes An all-too common error in education is to teach a related behavior, not the behavior of interest. - ANSWER True Target behaviors should be selected to maintain the status quo. - ANSWER False When selecting a target behavior, the assumption of mutual benefit and good will is permissible. - ANSWER False A behavior that produces corresponding modifications or co-variations in other adaptive, untrained behaviors is a(n) _____________________. - ANSWER Pivotal behavior The relevance of behavior rule refers to selecting target behaviors which are: - ANSWER Functional A feature of data that appears to exist because of the way the data is measured or examined is called an artifact. - ANSWER True A feature of an event that can be measured is called a(n): - ANSWER Dimension Which of the following is not a consideration when using event recording? - ANSWER Data are always expressed as the number of occurrences. Duration recording and latency recording are the same. - ANSWER False What term refers to the number of times a behavior occurs in the same period of time. - ANSWER False ________________ _____________ is the biggest threat to the accuracy and reliability of data. - ANSWER Human error Accuracy statements are indicators of the believability of the measurement system - ANSWER False If the goal is to increase a behavior, scheduling observations when the behavior is at the highest level is an example of choosing the most ________ time. - ANSWER Conservative A false statement about the requirements of IOA? - ANSWER IOA observers must always score videotapes together. ______________ ______________ is the degree to which two or more independent observers report the same observed values after measuring the same events - ANSWER Inter-observer agreement (IOA) Behavior change is considered a ________ and _______ process, therefore it is important to maintain direct and continuous contact with the behavior under investigation. - ANSWER Dynamic, on-going Graphs are a major tool for ______ the results of applied behavior analysis. - ANSWER - Organizing - Communicating - Storing - Interpreting The three fundamental properties of behavior illustrated on a graph include. - ANSWER Level, Trend, & Variability. The social significance of the behavior change does not play a role in scaling the vertical axis. - ANSWER False Data points falling on either side of a phase line are not counted. - ANSWER True Which is not a design factor to consider when implementing a changing criterion design? - ANSWER Magnitude of intervention. When each behavior changes when, and only when, the independent variable is applied then _______________ has been demonstrated. - ANSWER Experimental control The multiple baseline design provides the strongest evidence of a functional relationship. - ANSWER False All of the following are variations of the multiple baseline design except _________. - ANSWER Multiple baseline across interventions The multiple probe design is effective for situations in which: - ANSWER Prolonged baselines are not appropriate. A measure of the extent and regularity to which the actual application if the independent variable over the course of an experiment matches its description in the method section of a research report is called: - ANSWER Procedural reliability Which of the following does not require close examination to determine if an analysis of behavior has been made? - ANSWER - Experimental design - Control of confounding variables - Measurement systems - **Subjects Which type of replication involves the same subjects? - ANSWER Intra-subject What is assured when the learner self-records treatment effects? - ANSWER Questions concerning the knowledge of resultsThe benefits of buying summaries with Stuvia:
