ABA 1 ACTUAL TEST BANK 2026 SOLVED
QUESTIONS WITH VERIFIED SOLUTIONS
GRADED A+
●● Applied Behavioral Analysis.
Answer: The science devoted to the understanding and improvement of
human behavior.
●● Socially Significant Behaviors.
Answer: Behaviors that have immediate and long term benefits for the
person engaging in them.
●● Social Significance.
Answer: *To what extent will the proposed behavior change improve the
person's life experience?
*The presumption that we are always targeting behavior for the better of
the ind. is not ethically acceptable.
-Target behaviors should not be chosen for the benefit of others
*Accountability is necessary
●● BF Skinner.
Answer: -Operant Conditioning: Reinforcement and Punishment
,●● Ivan Pavlov.
Answer: -Respondent or classical conditioning the process of pairing
stimuli so than an unconditioned stimulus elicits a response (reflexive
behavior)
●● Independent Variable.
Answer: Refers to the intervention being used to change behavior
●● Dependent Variable.
Answer: The behavior targeted to change
●● 7 Dimensions of ABA.
Answer: (1) Applied (2) Behavioral (3) Analytic (4) Technological (5)
Conceptually Systematic (6) Effective (7) Generality
●● JB Watson.
Answer: -father of behaviorism
-focused on observable behaviors
●● Baseline.
Answer: What the child's behavior starts or looks like before therapy
●● Intervention.
, Answer: Study/Therapy
●● Respondent Behavior.
Answer: -that happens in response to some stimuli, and is essential to an
organism's survival. This behavior is characterized by involuntary action
-elicited by antecedent stimuli, also known as phylogenic behavior
example: the pupil starts to flicker when exposed to direct sunlight. If
the pupil does not flicker, the eye will be more exposed to sun rays,
which may lead to blindness
●● Respondent Conditioning.
Answer: The principle of respondent conditioning states that if a neutral
stimulus is followed closely in time by an unconditioned stimulus which
elicits an unconditioned response then the previously neutral stimulus
will also tend to elicit the response in the future
●● Operant Conditioning.
Answer: Reinforcing consequences immediately following the response
increases it's future likelihood: aversive consequences immediately
following the response decrease it's future likelihood
-OC occurs automatically
-Immediate consequences has the greatest effect
-Consequences only effect future behavior
