QABA ABAT APPLIED BEHAVIOR
TECHNICIAN REVIEW 2026 QUESTIONS
WITH SOLUTIONS TESTED QUESTIONS.
◍ Auditory Processing Disorder. Answer- Typically have normal hearing
but struggle to process and make meaning of sounds.
◍ Least Restrictive Environment (LRE). Answer- Connected with
IDEA; students spend as much time as possible mainstreamed in general
education courses.
◍ IEP Goals and Objectives. Answer- One annual goal; 3 objectives:
objectives are smaller benchmarks that the client will meet throughout
the year.
◍ Individuals with Disabilities Act (IDEA). Answer- Federal Law
passed in 1975; required schools to provide education to eligible
individuals with disabilities.
◍ Free and Public Education (FAPE). Answer- Purpose of IDEA.
◍ 3-Term Contingency. Answer- A= Antecedent (what occurs
immediately before a behavior); B= Behavior (any interaction between
,an organism and its environment); C= Consequence (what occurs
immediately following a behavior).
◍ Matching Law. Answer- Intensity of reinforcement matches the
intensity of the expected demand.
◍ Satiation. Answer- Having your 'fill' of something.
◍ Deprivation. Answer- The client has not had continuous access to an
item.
◍ Positive/Negative Reinforcement/Punishments. Answer- Positive:
adding; Negative: taking away; Reinforcement: increases behavior;
Punishment: decreases behavior.
◍ Schedules of Reinforcement. Answer- Continuous: receives
reinforcement after EVERY correct response; Fixed Interval: reinforcer
delivered after a FIXED interval of TIME; Variable Interval: reinforcer
delivered after a VARIABLE interval of TIME; Fixed Ratio: reinforcer
delivered after SET number of RESPONSES; Variable Ratio: reinforcer
delivered after VARIABLE number of RESPONSES.
◍ Extinction. Answer- No longer reinforcing a previously reinforced
behavior.
, ◍ Shaping. Answer- Reinforcing closer and closer approximations to the
desired behavior.
◍ Chaining. Answer- Forward: used when first few steps are easier than
the last; Backward: most common used.
◍ Types of Prompting (Least-to-Most). Answer- Positional, Gestural,
Model, Visual, Verbal, Physical.
◍ Generalization. Answer- Performing different behaviors in response
to the same stimulus.
◍ Stimulus. Answer- Performing the same behavior in response to
several different stimuli.
◍ Discrete Trial Teaching (DTT). Answer- Break skills down into
smaller steps; teach single, discrete, specific behaviors.
◍ Errorless Learning. Answer- A therapy strategy that ensures children
always respond correctly.
◍ Behavior Intervention Plan (BIP). Answer- Provides proactive and
reactive strategies to problem behaviors.
