CQIB EXAM PRACTICE REVIEW 2026 TESTED
QUESTIONS ANSWERS
◉ stimulus. Answer: energy change that affects an organism
◉ response class. Answer: group of responses with the same
function & that produce the same effect on the environment
◉ response. Answer: specific instance of behavior
◉ behavior. Answer: activity of living organisms
◉ applied behavior analysis. Answer: science in which tactics
derived from the principles of behavior are applied systematically to
improve socially significant behavior and experimentation is used to
identify the variables responsible for behavior change
◉ empowering. Answer: a dimension of ABA that say tools that work
to instill confidence
◉ doable. Answer: dimension of ABA that says interventions should
be pragmatic
,◉ accountable. Answer: dimension of ABA; behavior should be
directly & frequently measured
◉ generality. Answer: dimension of ABA; changes should last over
time
◉ effective. Answer: dimension of ABA; noticeable and reliable
changes in target behavior
◉ conceptually systematic. Answer: dimension of ABA; procedures
& effectiveness should be described in terms of behavioral principles
◉ analytic. Answer: dimension of ABA; a functional relation between
manipulated events and a reliable change in a dimension of target
behavior should be demonstrated
◉ technological. Answer: dimension of ABA; operative procedures
are identified & described with detail and clarity
◉ behavioral. Answer: dimension of ABA; behavior should be in
need of improvement, measurable, & target the client's behavior
◉ applied. Answer: dimension of ABA; improvements in behaviors
that enhance and improve people's lives
,◉ operant behaviors. Answer: behaviors not elicited by preceding
stimuli but influenced by stimulus changes that have followed
behavior in the past (e.g. not reflexive)
◉ respondent behavior. Answer: reflexive behavior; elicited by an
antecedent
◉ behaviorism. Answer: philosophy of science of behavior,
experimental analysis of behavior, & applied behavior analysis
◉ functional relation. Answer: well-controlled experiment that
reveals a specific change in one event (DV) is reliably created by
specific manipulations of another event (IV) and that is unlikely to
be a result of confounding variables
◉ antecedent. Answer: environmental conditions or stimulus
changes that exist or occur prior to behavior of iterest
◉ consequence. Answer: a stimulus change that follows the target
behavior
◉ conditioned stimulus. Answer: the stimulus component of a
conditioned reflex
, ◉ conditioned reflex. Answer: learned stimulus-response functional
relation consisting of an antecedent stimulus and the response it
elicits
◉ operant conditioning. Answer: the process and selective effects of
consequences on behavior
◉ reinforcer. Answer: a stimulus change that increases the future
frequency of behavior that immediately precedes it
◉ punisher. Answer: a stimulus change that decreases the future
frequency of a behavior that immediately precedes it
◉ positive reinforcement. Answer: a behavior is followed
immediately by the presentation of a stimulus and occurs more
often in the future as a result
◉ negative reinforcement. Answer: a behavior is followed
immediately by the removal or termination of a stimulus and occurs
more often in the future as a result
◉ extinction. Answer: reinforcement is withheld for all members of
a previously reinforced response class and the frequency of behavior
decreases to prereinforcement level or stops altogether as a result
