Tommy walks up to Sally and says "Hey, do you know the time?" and Sally responds, "It is 3 o'clock!" - ANSWER interverbal
Kaley, a BCaBA, is working with a young child who is learning to make his own lunch. She is collecting data on how long it takes from when she says "Go make your lunch" for him to initiate opening up his lunchbox and cooking his microwaveable meal. Over the course of several meals, she collects the following data:
Trial #1: 28s
Trial #2: 37s
Trial #3: 48s
Trial #4: 17s
Trial #5: 30s
What type of data collection is Kaley using by measuring the time between an antecedent stimulus and the onset of a target response? - ANSWER latency
Skinner described Verbal Behavior according to _________ over _________. - ANSWER function over form
You're about to start a session with a client. What do you need to do to be sure you're ready to have a successful session (at the very minimum)? - ANSWER You should know the responses and their response definitions that you will be measuring during your session. In addition, make sure you're prepared to take data - clickers, notepaper and a pencil, whatever you need, make sure you have it!
What does response latency refer to? - ANSWER The delay between a stimulus and a given response
Todd is walking down main street. To his right, he sees a sign that says "Hot & Fresh Donuts." In the past, that sign has typically correlated with an increased availability of donuts (hot and fresh ones, at that!)
What type of antecedent is the hot & fresh donuts sign? - ANSWER An SD
There are at least two general types of antecedents, three if you count prompts: - ANSWER MO and SD
SD: - ANSWER short for discriminative stimulus - the presence of the SD correlates with the availability of a reinforcer.
MO: - ANSWER short for motivating operation, the MO alters the value of a consequence from moment to moment. (increases and decreases value)
EO Establishing Operations - ANSWER, increase the value of a consequence,
AO (Abolishing Operation) - ANSWER decreases the value of a consequence over time.
Motivating Operations have both value-altering and behavior-altering effects: - ANSWER Value-Altering: impacts the value of a consequence, either increasing / decreasing it's effectiveness as a reinforcer or punisher.
Behavior-Altering: increases or decreases the momentary frequency ("likelihood of a behavior occurring")
A little boy is playing with his toys in his room. Holding one of his stuffed animal dolls, he looks at it and says "Zebra!"
Which elementary verbal operant does this scenario most likely describe? - ANSWER tact
Which of the following is an example of DISCONTINUOUS data collection? - ANSWER Momentary Time Sampling (MTS)
What verbal operant refers to asking for or requesting things, is under the control of an MO, and is maintained by specific reinforcement (i.e., the things the person is requesting)? - ANSWER Mand
What are the four functions of behavior? - ANSWER Sensory, Escape, Attention, and Tangibles
Bill, a BCaBA, always describes behaviors of interest in discrete, objective, measurable terms. Using Lindsey Ogden's "Dead Man's Test", Bill also makes sure that his behaviors of interest are... well, behaviors!
Of the 7 Dimensions of ABA (as originally described by Baer, D., Wolf, M., & Risley, R., 1968), which of the following does the above most closely describe? - ANSWER behavioral
7 dimensions of ABA - ANSWER Applied, Behavioral, Analytic, Technological, Conceptually Systematic, Effective, Generality
Bill has not eaten all day, and it's almost dinner time. He sees a donut on the high shelf in the kitchen, and reaches for it while he says "Donut please..." in a zombie-like donut trance. Unable to reach it, he looks up at you imploringly before looking back at the donut, salivating.
