MOCK BCBA EXAM #1 QUESTIONS ANDANSWERS WITH SOLUTIONS 2024
Determinism - ANSWER Cause and Effect, Lawfulness: If/Then statements. The world is orderly and
predicable.
Latency - ANSWER The time between an SD and the response: "Bryson get your shoes on (SD) - Bryson
initiating getting his shoes on" The time from a reinforcer to the next response is a latency and not an
IRT, even if the reinforcer is response-produced.
Inner Response Time - ANSWER The time from the start of one response (behavior) to the start of the
next response (behavior). The time between two responses.
3 Branches of Behavior Analysis - ANSWER 1) Behaviorism 2) Experimental Analysis of Behavior 3)
Applied Behavior Analysis
Behaviorism - ANSWER Behaviorism is the philosophy and theory of behavioral science, widely
recognized due to the work of John B. Watson. Behaviorism was the predominate model in psychology
from the early to mid 1900's and is based on the principle that psychology should be seen as a science.
He argued that behavior is observable and should be objectively and scientifically measured. Watson
was primarily concerned with the relationship between observable behaviors and environmental events
rather than on internal processes.
Experimental Analysis of Behavior (EAB) - ANSWER the intensive study, under controlled conditions, of
how environmental stimuli and consequences regulate an individual organism's behavior.This is operant
behavior, behavior that is based on the consequences of that behavior. The creation of EAB showed that
the environment creates learned behaviors and has a functional relation. It also allowed scientists to
manipulate the environment in order to increase or decrease an operant behavior. The theory of EAB
was a result Skinners findings of the S-R-S model or three-term contingency.
ABA - ANSWER Applied Behavior Analysis is a scientific-based field of study that uses behaviorism as its
philosophy and aims to improve socially significant behaviors through experimentation. ABA is an
applied science that develops methods of changing behavior, and also, a profession that provides
services to meet diverse behavioral needs.
, resistance to extinction - ANSWER Behavior that continues responding during the implementation of an
extinction procedure.
Ordinate - ANSWER y-axis on a graph, Vertical
abscissa - ANSWER x-axis (horizontal)
Exclusionary Time out - ANSWER Individual removed from space.
3 Types: (RPH)
1. Room/Time-Out Room
2. Partition Time-Out
3. Hallway Time-Out
Permant product recording - ANSWER Recording tangible items or environmental effects that result from
a behavior, for example, written academic work (also called outcome recording).
DRL - ANSWER Differential Reinforcement of Low Rates of Behaviors. Reinforcement schedule that is
used to decrease the rate of behaviors that occur too frequently but should be maintained in the
learner's repertoire
DRH - ANSWER Differential Reinforcement of High Rates of Behaviors. Reinforcer is delivered for more
than a fixed number of responses in a time period -or- Reinforcer is delivered after an IRT less than some
criterion amount of time. Used to increase behavior. A particular reinforcement schedule in which
reinforcement is delivered for rates of responding ABOVE a specified predetermined criterion (based on
the individual's performance in previous intervals). (e.g., more than three responses per 5 minutes).
Discontinuous Measurement - ANSWER measurement conducted in a manner such that some instances
of the response class(es) of interest may not be detected
