BCABA BACB EXAM PREP
1. frequency
*Answer√√ the number of times a behavior occurs
2. rate
*Answer√√ (# of responses (AKA frequency) / # of time units)
3. duration
*Answer√√ the length of time that passes from onset to ottset of a behavior or stimulus
4. latency
*Answer√√ elapsed time from the presentation of an antecedent stimulus and the response
5. inter-response time (IRT)
*Answer√√ measured by recording the duration of elapsed time from the ottset of one response to the
onset of the next response
6. percent of occurrence
*Answer√√ (# of times it happens / # of opportunities for it to happen)
7. trials to criterion

,*Answer√√ the number of responses the participant has emitted in order to meet the criterion or
standard for success
8. inter-observer agreement (IOA)
*Answer√√ method for estimating the reliability of a behavioral observation system (review procedures
for)
-permanent product recording
-event/frequency recording
-duration/IRT recording
-time sampling observational records
9. equal interval graphs
*Answer√√ y/x axis equally spaced as opposed to those in standard celeration charts
10. cumulative graphs
*Answer√√ display of rates of a behavior in the form of changes in the slope or curve of the response
patterns generated as a function of conditions in ettect
11. continuous measurement procedures

, *Answer√√ measuring responses that lack a clearly discriminable beginning or end
12. discontinuous measurement procedures
*Answer√√ measuring responses that have a clear onset and ottset
13. 7 dimensions of ABA
*Answer√√ applied, behavioral, analytic, technological, conceptual systems, generality, ettective
14. withdrawal/reversal design
*Answer√√ an experimental design that involves the removal of the intervention in order to test it's
ettect
15. alternating treatments (multi-element design)
*Answer√√ a with-in subject or intensive experimental design consisting of alternating presentations
of two or more independent variable arrangements
16. changing criterion designs
*Answer√√ an ABA design involving successive changes in the criterion for deliv-ering consequences,
usually in graduated steps from baseline levels to a desired terminal goal
