ABA 622 PRE TEST AND MIDTERM APPLIED
BEHAVIOR ANALYSIS PRACTICE
QUESTIONS AND SOLUTIONS
◉ Environmental event
Answer: Any event in a persons environment that can be
observed.
◉ Escape-avoidance learning
Answer: A learning situation in which the target behavior results
in escape form, or avoidance of, an aversive event.
◉ Extinction
Answer: Withholding the reinforcers that maintain a target
behavior.
◉ Extinction burst
Answer: A sharp increase in the frequency of a behavior that is on
extinction.
Usually occur soon after behavior is placed on extinction.
◉ Fading
Answer: Gradually reducing the strength of a prompt.
,◉ Fixed duration schedule
Answer: A reinforcement schedule in which a reinforcer is
provided after the target behavior has been preformed
continuously for a period of length
◉ Fixed interval schedule
Answer: A reinforcement schedule in which a reinforcer is
provided the first time the target behavior occurs after an interval
of length since the last reinforcement.
◉ Fixed ratio schedule
Answer: A reinforcement schedule in which a reinforcer is
provided after the target behavior has occurred number of times.
◉ Flooding
Answer: A form of desensitization training in which the client is
exposed to real or imagined situations that are very disturbing
until they no longer arouse anxiety. The procedure usually cause
great discomfort initially and is of uncertain effectiveness.
◉ Forward chaining
Answer: A chaining procedure that begins with the first element
in a behavior chain and progress to the last element.
◉ Functional analysis
, Answer: The process of testing hypotheses about the functional
relations among antecedents, target behavior, and consequences.
◉ Functional relation
Answer: The tendency of one event to vary in regular way with
one or more other events.
◉ Generalization
Answer: The tendency for he effects of training to spread.
◉ Inter-observer reliability
Answer: A measure of the degree of agreement and data tallies
made by two or more observers.
◉ in vivo desensitization
Answer: A variation of systematic desensitization in which the
anxiety - arousing situations to which the person is exposed are
real, rather than imagined.
◉ Law of effect
Answer: The principle that, in any given situation, the probability
of a behavior occurring is a function of the consequences that
behavior has had in that situation in the past. And abbreviated
form says that behavior is a function of its consequences.
