QABA Exam Questions And AccurateAnswers 2024-2025
Spontaneous recovery - ANSWER Temporary re-appearance of a behavior that was
extinguished for a duration of time.
Discriminated avoidance -ANSWER A signaled (SD) contingency for behavior that
indicates engaging in the behavior will prevent and/or delay the onset of an aversive
stimulus.
Transitive MO (CMO-T)- ANSWER A conditioned motivating operation that is established
when an environmental variable establishes another event as a reinforcer or punishes,
in which the deprived item can only be obtained by a secondary stimulus, that
establishes the reinforcing effectiveness of the secondary stimulus, and induces the
behaviors necessary to contact the secondary stimulus.
assent - ANSWER The agreement of participation by a client who is unable to give legal
consent for their own participation.
Experimental Analysis of Behavior (EAB) - ANSWER A branch of behavior analysis that
deals with research on basic processes and principles and is mainly conducted in
laboratories.
behavior cusp - ANSWER Behaviors that, when acquired, result in the individual
accessing new environments and, therefore, new stimulus controls and
contingencies(i.e., reinforcement).
Pragmatism-ANSWER A philosophical assumption underlying the science of behavior
analysis that focuses on practical solutions, or in other words: if it works, don't fix it. At
the level of behavior this involves the relation between the setting, A and the behavior,
B, is because of the consequence, C.
, generality - ANSWER A dimension of ABA, which refers to the fact that any behavior
change should generalize across time, settings, behaviors, and people that differ from
the original conditions of the intervention.
validity - ANSWER The measurement is valid if the measurement that generates data is
relevant and specific to target behavior of interest and the relevant dimension of that
behavior; that is you actually measure what you set out to measure.
Performance monitoring A systematic and objective observation method of staff
performance used to ensure procedural fidelity and effectiveness of training and to
assess for areas of needed support.
Overshadowing The presence of a competing or distracting stimulus that interferes with
the acquisition of a skill/stimulus control of another stimulus.
behavior chain - ANSWER A specific sequence of discrete responses/behaviors which,
when linked together, form a terminal behavior. Each discrete response/behavior is
associated with a particular stimulus condition(SD), and each response and the
associated SD serve as an individual component of the chain.
negative punishment - ANSWER A process that occurs when a response is followed
immediately by the removal of a stimulus [or a decrease in the intensity of a stimulus]
that results in a decrease in the future frequency of similar responses under similar
conditions.
rule governed behavior - ANSWER A verbal description of a behavioral contingency in
which behavior comes under the control of consequences that are too delayed to
influence behavior directly.
behavioral contrast - ANSWER A collateral effect of treatment occurring in a multiple
schedule of reinforcement or punishment when a shift in the schedule in one part of the
reinforcement or punishment contingency shifts the behavior in the opposite direction in
the other component of the schedule.
