BCBA EXAM
1. stimulus class
*Answer√√ any group of stimuli sharing a predetermined set of common elements in one or more of the
following
physical features, temporally, & functionally
2. stimulus
*Answer√√ energy change that attects an organism
3. response class
*Answer√√ group of responses with the same function & that produce the same ettect on the
environment
4. response
*Answer√√ specific instance of behavior
5. behavior
*Answer√√ activity of living organisms
6. 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
7. empowering
*Answer√√ a dimension of ABA that say tools that work to instill confidence
8. doable
*Answer√√ dimension of ABA that says interventions should be pragmatic
9. accountable
*Answer√√ dimension of ABA; behavior should be directly & frequently measured
10. generality
*Answer√√ dimension of ABA; changes should last over time
11. effective
*Answer√√ dimension of ABA; noticeable and reliable changes in target behavior
12. conceptually systematic
*Answer√√ dimension of ABA; procedures & ettectiveness should be described in terms of behavioral
,principles
13. analytic
*Answer√√ dimension of ABA; a functional relation between manipulated events and a reliable change in a
dimension of target behavior should be demonstrated
14. technological
*Answer√√ dimension of ABA; operative procedures are identified & described with detail and clarity
15. behavioral
*Answer√√ dimension of ABA; behavior should be in need of improvement, measurable, & target the client's
behavior
16. applied
*Answer√√ dimension of ABA; improvements in behaviors that enhance and improve people's lives
17. 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)
18. respondent behavior
, *Answer√√ reflexive behavior; elicited by an antecedent
19. behaviorism
*Answer√√ philosophy of science of behavior, experimental analysis of behavior, & applied behavior
analysis
20. 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
21. antecedent
*Answer√√ environmental conditions or stimulus changes that exist or occur prior to behavior of iterest
22. consequence
*Answer√√ a stimulus change that follows the target behavior
