BCBA EXAM QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS 100% PASS
Conditioned _______ are the product of respondent conditioning. ✔✔Reflexes
A behavior that occurs more frequently under some antecedent conditions than it does in others
is called a(n): ✔✔Discriminated Operant
A descriptive and temporally sequenced account of behavior in the natural environment is called
a(n): ✔✔Anecdotal observation
In determining the likelihood of success in changing a behavior, all of the following should be
considered except: ✔✔Social validity of the behavior
Four sources of information on the likelihood of success are the research literature on changing
this behavior, the experience of the practitioner with the target behavior, the ability to control
variables in the environments, and the available resources for implementing and maintaining the
intervention.
Explicit behavior definitions are important in research of applied behavior analysis for all of the
following except: ✔✔Agreement between assessment and intervention data
It is important for behavior definitions to be defined explicitly so that other behavior analysts can
replicate your work, in order to achieve accurate and reliable measurement, and to compare data
across studies. However, explicit behavior definitions are not relevant to agreement between
assessment and intervention data. Typically, these data do not agree because the purpose of
intervention is to change the behavior.
Practitioners need measurement in order to do all of the following except ✔✔Operationalize
empiricism
Scientists and researchers use measurement to operationalize empiricism. Practitioners use
measurement before, during, and after treatment to evaluate effects.
Which of the following is a reason not to use permanent product measurement? ✔✔Moment-tomoment decisions must be made
You are preparing to observe Jennifer, a second grade student who has difficulty following
teacher direction and frequently wanders around the classroom. The target behavior for Jennifer
is being out of her seat. What is the most appropriate method for measuring this target behavior?
✔✔Duration
Event recording does not produce accurate measures for behavior that occurs for extended time
periods. Behavior that occurs over an extended period of time is best measured using a timing
procedure to measure duration.
Which of the following is not a suggested training method for potential observers? ✔✔Explicit
feedback about data collection as it relates to the hypothesis
Which of the following is not a requisite for obtaining valid IOA measures? ✔✔Score all IOA
while sitting side-by-side with another observer
Which of the following is the most stringent method for calculating IOA for behaviors that occur
at relatively high rates and obtained by interval recording? ✔✔Unscored IOA
Visual analysis is considered a(n) ________ method for determining the social significance of
behavior change. ✔✔Conservative
This part of a line graph is printed below the graph and gives a concise but complete description
of the figure. ✔✔Figure Caption
logarithmic scales are an appropriate graphing format when _______ change is of particular
interest. ✔✔Proportional
