BCBA Task List 5th Edition (A1-A5)Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) - correct answer The science in which tactics derived from the principles of behavior are applied to improve socially significant behavior and experimentation is used to identify the variables responsible for the improvement in behavior. Identify the goals of behavior analysis as a science. - correct answer 3 Levels of Scientific Understanding: Description, Prediction, and Control Description - correct answer Facts that are derived from systematically observed events. Prediction - correct answer When repeated observations show that there is a consistent relationship between the occurrence of 2 events. Control - correct answer An experimental demonstration that manipulating 1 event (IV) results in a change in another event (DV) and this change can only be attributable to the independent variable. Explain the Philosophical Assumptions underlying the science of behavior analysis. - correct answer (DEPPS-PER) Determinism Empiricism Pragmatism Parsimony Selectionism Philosophical Doubt Experimentation Replication Determinism - correct answer The assumption that the universe is a lawful and orderly place in which phenomena occur in relation to other events and not in a willy-nilly, accidental fashion. Empiricism - correct answer The act of objective observation and measurement. Parsimony - correct answer The practice of ruling out simple, logical explanations, experimentally or conceptually, before considering more complex or abstract explanations. Pragmatism - correct answer A practical approach to problems in which truth is found in the process of verification. Selectionism - correct answer A theory that all forms of life naturally and continually evolve as a result of the interaction between function and the survival value of that function. Operant selection by consequences is the conceptual and empirical foundation of behavior analysis. Describe and explain behavior from the perspective of radical behaviorism. - correct answer Radical behaviorism is a types of behaviorism that seeks to understand all forms of behavior, including private events such as thoughts and feelings, in terms of controlling variables in the history of the person (ontogeny) and the species (phylogeny) Ontogeny - correct answer The history of development of an individual organism during its lifetime. Phylogeny - correct answer The history of the natural evolution of a species. Distinguish among behaviorism, the experimental analysis of behavior, applied behavior analysis, and professional practice guided by the science of behavior analysis. - correct answer (BEAP) Behaviorism Experimental Analysis of Behavior Applied Behavior Analysis Professional Practice Guided by the Science of ABA Behaviorism - correct answer The philosophy of a science of behavior; there are various forms of behaviorism (methodological behaviorism and radical behaviorism) Experimental Analysis of Behavior (EAB) - correct answer a natural science approach to the study of behavior as a subject matter in its own right founded by B.F.Skinner; methodological features include rate of response as a basic dependent vairable, repeated or continuous measurement of clearly defined response classes, within-subject experimental comparisons instead of group design, visual analysis of graphed data instead of statistical inference, and an emphasis on describing functional relations between behavior and controlling variables in the environment over formal theory testing Applied Behavior Analysis-Domain - correct answer Technology for improving socially significant behavior, focuses on humans, applied research, aligns with 7 dimensions of ABA Professional Practice Guided by the Science of Behavior Analysis - correct answer Implementation of direct services or ABA procedures within their professions; natural environment; socially valid methods/results; results focus on current behavior or setting and remediating symptoms
