BCBA Exam- PASS the BIG ABA EXAM Solution guide; updated 2021/2022. 3 levels of scientific understanding - Ans-DPC Description Prediction Control Description - Ans-Systematic observations that c ... an be quantified & classified Prediction - Ans-AKA: correlation; covariation 2 events may regularly occur at the same time. This does not mean one causes the other Control - Ans-AKA: causation Functional relation. The highest level of scientific understanding. Experimental demonstration that manipulating one event (IV) results in another event (DV). 6 attitudes of science Philosophical assumptions of bx - Ans-DEER PP Determinism Empiricism Experimentation Replication Parimony Philosophical Doubt Determinism - Ans-Cause & effect Lawfulness Orderly & predictable Empiricism - Ans-Facts Experimental, data-based scientific approach, drawing upon observation & experience. Requires objective qualification & detailed description of events. Experimentation - Ans-Basic strategy of most sciences. Requires manipulating variables to see effects on DV. Experiment to determine if one event caused another. Replication - Ans-Repeating experiments Parisomy - Ans-The simplest theory. All simple & logical explanations must be ruled out first before complex explanations. Philosophical Doubt - Ans-Having healthy skepticism & a critical eye 7 dimensions of ABA - Ans-BATCAGE or GET A CAB Behavioral Applied Technological Conceptually Systematic Analytic Generality Effective Behavioral - Ans-Observable events. Must be a bx in need of improvement. Applied - Ans-Socially significant bxs Technological - Ans-Procedures clearly & precisely so they are replicable. RECIPE Conceptually Systematic - Ans-Procedures should be based on principles of ABA Analytic - Ans-AKA: Functional Relation, Experimentation, Control, Causation A functional relation is demonstrated. Generality - Ans-AKA: Generalization Extends bx change across time, settings, or other bxs Effective - Ans-Improves bx in a practical manner Mentalism Terminology - Ans-Hypothetical Constructs Explanatory Fictions Circular Reasoning 4 Branches of Behavior Analysis - Ans-CASE Conceptual Analysis of Behavior ABA Behavior Service Delivery Experimental Analysis of Bx (EAB) 2 types of bx - Ans-Respondent Operant Respondent Bx - Ans-AKA: Reflex, Reflexive Relations, Unconditioned, US-UR Elicited Involuntary Reflex Habituation Habituation - Ans-Eliciting stimulus is presented repeatedly that respondent bx diminishes Phylogenic - Ans-Bx that is genetic Respondent conditioning - Ans-AKA: Classical Conditioning, Pavlovian Conditioning, S-S Pairing, CS-CR When new stimuli acquire the ability to elicit respondents. Operant Behavior - Ans-AKA: S-R-S, 3 term contingency, ABC Emit/evoke Bx whose probability is determined by its history of consequences. Voluntary action. Operants defined in terms of their relationship to controlling variables. FUNCTION. Encompasses both reinforcement & punishment. Adaptation Adaptation - Ans-Reductions in responding by repeated or prolonged presentation to antecedent stimulus. Ontogentic - Ans-Learning that results from interactions with environment Operant Contingency - Ans-AKA: Behavioral Contingency, Contingency, 3-term Contingency, ABC The occasion for a response (SD), the response, & the outcome. The dependency of a particular consequence on the occurrence of the bx. Reinforcer or punisher is "contingent" on a bx 3-term contingency ABC - Ans-What is the primary analysis in ABA? Contiguity - Ans-When 2 stimuli occur close together in time, resulting in an association of those 2 stimuli. 3 Principles of Bx - Ans-PER Punishment Extinction Reinforcement All strategies are derived from these 3 principles. applied - Ans-ABA is a(n) _______ science. ABA - Ans-A scientific approach for discovering environmental variables that reliably influence socially significant bx & for developing a technology of bx change that is practical & applicable Science - Ans-To achieve a thorough understanding of the phenomena under study (socially significant bxs) Response - Ans-A single instanc [Show More]
