FBA EXAM QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS GRADED A+

FBA EXAM QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS GRADED A+ What are the 3 components of informed consent? Capacity, Information, Voluntariness The purpose of conducting a functional assessment is to: Obtain information of a particular behavior What is the major assumption we make when conducting an FBA? Behavior is functional The major assumption we make when conducting an FBA followed what attitude of science? Determinism/Lawfulness of Behavior Systematically manipulating controlling variables is a part of which FBA method? Functional Analysis Observing the individual in the natural environment is a part of which FBA method? Descriptive Assessment Interviewing the individual and/others who know them best is a part of which FBA method? Indirect Methods What predictions do we hope to make about behavior when conducting an FBA? Both conditions under which behavior is most likely to occur and consequences that maintain behavior A mosquito be me on the arm. Now it itches! It feels better when I scratch it. Then a minute later it would itch again, so I scratch again? Negative Reinforcement What are the three levels of science? Description, Prediction, Control Behaviors with different topographies may serve similar functions True An FBA is the process of looking at relationships between the environment and behavior. (T/F?) True A functional analysis is the least rigorous method of behavior assessment. T/F? False The BACB reccommends the use of ____________ to learn, maintain and generalize the skills needed to conduct FBAs. Behavior Skills Training The goal of a good FBA is to bring ___________ and __________ to otherwise chaotic and confusing situations. Clarity and Understanding It is acceptable for practitioners to conduct an FBA independently after attending a two-day workshop on the topic. T/F? False Behaviors that directly terminate aversive stimulation are maintained by __________ Automatic Negative Reinforcement Current FBA research focuses on ____ of the behaviors and no the _______ Function and not the form Jenny is a surrogate for her sister, Claudia. Claudia's group home facilitator wants to implement an overcorrection procedure because she keeps dumping out her dresser drawers. Jenny has signed consent for the procedure but Claudia keeps yelling that she doesn't want to do it when the staff tries to implement it. What is the next step? They must discontinue the procedure. Procedure when a neutral stimulus is presented with an unconditioned stimulus until that neutral stimulus becomes a conditioned stimulus that elicits the conditioned response- Respondent Conditioning The process of altering the frequency and/or strength of behavior through consequences Operant Conditioning A group of stimulu sharing common elements Stimulus Class A group of responses with the same function Response Class Statements that describe the occurrence of phenomena under study as a function of specific variables Functional Relation Ruling out simple explanations before considering more complex ones Parsimony The manipulation of environmental variables Experimentation
