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 can 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
