BCBA exam-PASStheBIGABAEXAM 3 levels of scientific understanding Correct Answer: DPC Description Prediction Control Description Correct Answer: Systematic observations that can be quantified & classified Prediction Correct Answer: AKA: correlation; covariation 2 events may regularly occur at the same time. This does not mean one causes the other Control Correct Answer: 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 Correct Answer: DEER PP Determinism Empiricism Experimentation Replication Parimony Philosophical Doubt Determinism Correct Answer: Cause & effect Lawfulness Orderly & predictable Empiricism Correct Answer: Facts Experimental, data-based scientific approach, drawing upon observation & experience. Requires objective qualification & detailed description of events. Experimentation Correct Answer: Basic strategy of most sciences. Requires manipulating variables to see effects on DV. Experiment to determine if one event caused another. Replication Correct Answer: Repeating experiments Parisomy Correct Answer: The simplest theory. All simple & logical explanations must be ruled out first before complex explanations. Philosophical Doubt Correct Answer: Having healthy skepticism & a critical eye 7 dimensions of ABA Correct Answer: BATCAGE or GET A CAB Behavioral Applied Technological Conceptually Systematic Analytic Generality Effective Behavioral Correct Answer: Observable events. Must be a bx in need of improvement. Applied Correct Answer: Socially significant bxs Technological Correct Answer: Procedures clearly & precisely so they are replicable. RECIPE Conceptually Systematic Correct Answer: Procedures should be based on principles of ABA Analytic Correct Answer: AKA: Functional Relation, Experimentation, Control, Causation A functional relation is demonstrated. Generality Correct Answer: AKA: Generalization Extends bx change across time, settings, or other bxs Effective Correct Answer: Improves bx in a practical manner Mentalism Terminology Correct Answer: Hypothetical Constructs Explanatory Fictions Circular Reasoning 4 Branches of Behavior Analysis Correct Answer: CASE Conceptual Analysis of Behavior ABA Behavior Service Delivery Experimental Analysis of Bx (EAB) 2 types of bx Correct Answer: Respondent Operant Respondent Bx Correct Answer: AKA: Reflex, Reflexive Relations, Unconditioned, US-UR Elicited Involuntary Reflex Habituation Habituation Correct Answer: Eliciting stimulus is presented repeatedly that respondent bx diminishes Phylogenic Correct Answer: Bx that is genetic Respondent conditioning Correct Answer: AKA: Classical Conditioning, Pavlovian Conditioning, S-S Pairing, CS-CR When new stimuli acquire the ability to elicit respondents. Operant Behavior Correct Answer: 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 Correct Answer: Reductions in responding by repeated or prolonged presentation to antecedent stimulus. Ontogentic Correct Answer: Learning that results from interactions with environment Operant Contingency Correct Answer: 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 Correct Answer: What is the primary analysis in ABA? Contiguity Correct Answer: When 2 stimuli occur close together in time, resulting in an association of those 2 stimuli. 3 Principles of Bx Correct Answer: PER Punishment Extinction Reinforcement All strategies are derived from these 3 principles. applied Correct Answer: ABA is a(n) _______ science. ABA Correct Answer: 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 Correct Answer: To achieve a thorough understanding of the phenomena under study (socially significant bxs) Response Correct Answer: A single instance of bx. Behavior Correct Answer: Larger set/class or responses that share physical dimensions or functions. Response Class Correct Answer: A group of bxs that comprise an operant. Operant: Response-consequence relationship. Similar bxs that are strengthened or weakened collectively as a result of operant conditioning. Yes. Can widely vary in form but are limited in topographical variations. Correct Answer: Can responses in the same response class look different? Repertoire Correct Answer: 1. All bxs that an individual can do. 2. A collection of knowledge & skills an individual has learned that are relevant to a particular task. Environment Correct Answer: Complex, dynamic universe of events that differs from instance to instance. All bx occurs within an environmental context. Stimulus Correct Answer: Physical events that affect the bx of an individual.
