RBT ABA STUDY
PRACTICE QUESTIONS
AND CORRECT ANSWERS
GRADED A+ 2025-2026
ABA reversal design - ANS-A single case design on which baseline and intervention
conditions are repeated with the same person.
Alternating treatment design - ANS-A single case design in which two or more
interventions alternate systematically.
Antecedents - ANS-Environmental events that occurs before a behavior occurs.
Applied behavior analysis - ANS-The attempt to solve behavior problems by providing
antecedents and/ or consequences that change a behavior.
Aversion therapy - ANS-A form of sensitization training in which a stimulus that
arouses an inappropriate positive response is paired with an aversive stimuli.
Backup reinforcer - ANS-A reinforcer that may be received in exchange for a token.
Backward chaining - ANS-A chaining procedure that begins with the last element in the
chain and progresses to the first element.
Baseline - ANS-A period during which the target behavior is recorded, but no attempt is
made to modify it.
, Behavior - ANS-Anything a person does that can be observed.
Behavior analysis - ANS-The science of behavior change, the study of functional
relations between behavior and environmental events.
Behavior chain - ANS-A sequence of related behaviors, each of which provides the cue
for the next, and the last of which produces a reinforcer.
Behavior trapping - ANS-The procedure of bringing a target behavior under the
influence of its natural reinforcers by exposing it to those reinforcers.
Behavioral contrast - ANS-The tendency for changes in behavior outside the training
environment.
Behavioral repertoire - ANS-All things an individual is capable of doing at any given
moment.
Bootleg reinforcement - ANS-Reinforcement that is not part of; and tends to
undermine, an intervention.
Chaining - ANS-The reinforcement of successive elements of a behavior chain.
Conditioned reinforcers - ANS-Reinforcers that are dependent on their association with
other reinforcers.
Conditioning - ANS-Any procedure by which an event comes to elicit a response by
being paired with an event that elicits that response.
Consequences - ANS-Environmental events that occur after a behavior.
Contingency contract - ANS-An agreement between two or more parties about what
each is to do for the other.
