What is the primary function of reinforcement in behavior analysis?


✔✔ To increase the likelihood of a behavior occurring in the future.




How does negative reinforcement differ from punishment?


✔✔ Negative reinforcement increases behavior by removing an aversive stimulus, while

punishment decreases behavior by introducing or removing a stimulus.




What is the purpose of a behavior intervention plan (BIP)?


✔✔ To outline specific strategies to address challenging behaviors and promote positive

behavior change.




What is the key characteristic of discrete trial training (DTT)?


✔✔ DTT involves a structured teaching method with clear instructions and immediate feedback.




Why is data collection critical in ABA therapy?




1

,✔✔ Data collection allows for objective tracking of a client’s progress and the effectiveness of

interventions.




How does task analysis assist in teaching complex behaviors?

taught sequentially.




What does “prompt fading” mean in ABA therapy?


✔✔ Prompt fading refers to the gradual removal of prompts to promote independent behavior.




Why is generalization important in behavior change?


✔✔ Generalization ensures that a behavior is performed across different settings, situations, and

with various people.




How does a functional behavior assessment (FBA) help in understanding behavior?


✔✔ An FBA identifies the causes and functions of challenging behavior to inform effective

interventions.




What is the role of a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT)?

2

, ✔✔ The RBT implements behavior intervention plans under the supervision of a BCBA or

BCaBA.




What is shaping in behavior analysis?


✔✔ Shaping involves reinforcing successive approximations of a target behavior until the

desired behavior is achieved.




How does extinction reduce behavior?


✔✔ Extinction reduces behavior by no longer providing reinforcement for the behavior that was

previously reinforced.




What is the significance of using clear, operational definitions of behavior?


✔✔ Clear operational definitions ensure that behavior is measurable, observable, and

consistently interpreted across individuals.




What is the difference between continuous and intermittent reinforcement?


✔✔ Continuous reinforcement provides reinforcement after every occurrence of the behavior,

while intermittent reinforcement provides reinforcement only sometimes.
