EDF 6223 CERTIFICATION EXAM
QUESTIONS AND VERIFIED
ANSWERS 2026
▶ Demonstrates experimental control over the occurrence and
nonoccurrence of the behavior (a functional relation is demonstrated).
Answer: Analytic
▶ A written description of all procedures in the study and is sufficiently
complete and detailed to enable others to replicate it. All operative
procedures are identified and described in detail and clarity.. Answer:
Technological
▶ Behavior change interventions are derived from basic principles of
behavior. Better enable research consumer to derive other similar
procedures from the same principles. Assist in integrating discipline into a
system instead of a "collection of tricks". Answer: Conceptually systematic
▶ Improves behavior sufficiently to produce practical results for the
participants. Improvements in behavior must reach clinical or social
significance behavior. Extent to which changes in the target behaviors
result in noticeable changes.. Answer: Effective
▶ Produces behavior changes that last over time, appear in other
environments, or spread to other behaviors. Answer: Generality
▶ The science in which tactics derived from the principles of behavior are
applied to improve socially significant behavior, and experimentation is
used to identify the variables responsible for the improvement of behavior..
Answer: Applied behavior analysis
▶ Effective change, lasting change, and scientific approach. Answer: The
promise and possibilities of ABA
, ▶ Assent in services, including clients in every aspect of planning behavior
change, and combating ableism in services. Answer: Areas to grow in ABA
▶ Applied behavior analysis is set apart from other disciplines by. Answer:
Focus, goals, and methods
▶ The goals of applied behavior analysis are. Answer: Description,
prediction, and control
▶ Descriptive knowledge consists of a collection of facts about the
observed clients that can be. Answer: quantified, classified, and examined
for possible relations
▶ A functional relation exists when. Answer: A change in a dependent
variable is reliably produced by manipulations of the independent variable
▶ The foremost rule in behavior analysis. Answer: Empiricism
▶ Our language suggests that.... Answer: Behavior is generally motivated
and controlled by events going on in the mind, emotions control
subsequent actions, and we can make choices that are free of outside
influences
▶ Knowledge about (or study of) the natural world based on facts learned
through experiments and observation. Systemized knowledge derived from
observation, study, etc. Achieves a greater understanding of area of study.
Rooted in scientific method: problem, observe/measure, formulate/test
hypothesis. Answer: Science
▶ The philosophy of the science of behavior. The behavior is controlled by
the environment.. Answer: Behaviorism
▶ Inner thoughts (and other things we cannot observe) mediate something
with our behavior. Used to be the accepted way of thinking (e.g., Freud,
Descartes). Answer: Mentalism
▶ Presumed but unobserved entities that can't be manipulated in an
experiment (cognitvie processes, drives, free will, etc.). Answer:
Hypothetical constructs
