EDF 6226 Modules 1-6
Sally is observing a new client, Michael. Every time she comes in the room, he puts his head
down. She is possible experiencing an effect known as: - ANSreactivity
Margo distributed several questionnaires to her new client's teachers, asking them about
particular behaviors. What assessment method is she using? - ANSindirect assessment

When considering a target behavior, Fernando is careful to select one that will expose the
individual to new environments, including the reinforcers and punishers that go along with it.
What is the best name for this? - ANSbehavior cusp
Sam was excited to show his supervisor an idea for a behavior plan. His target behavior was
"lose weight". What response should the BCBA provide? - ANSWeight loss is a direct effect of
other behaviors and not appropriate as a "target behavior"
Anjali, a BCBA, was in an IEP meeting for a new student in the school. One of the attendees
indicated that they conducted interviews with previous teachers and they all said the boy
exhibited the target behavior when he wanted was attention. The attendee suggested the group
move forward with goals related to attention seeking. How should Anjali respond? -
ANSSuggest direct observation first
Suggest baseline data collection
Suggest a functional behavior assessment
All of the above are appropriate.
Michelle wants to create a visual display that will compare the same behavior of two or more
participants. Her best option would be: - ANSline graph
Dominique wants to create a visual display that will display discrete sets of data that are not
related to one another. Her best option would be: - ANSbar graph
Miguel wants to create a standardized visual display that will demonstrate frequency over time.
His best option would be: - ANSstandard celeration chart
Emilia was working with a family that was having a difficult time understanding Applied Behavior
Analysis. They indicated that their daughter's maladaptive behaviors came "out of nowhere" and
, that there was "no logic" behind them. Emilia had to explain to them that the science of ABA
relies on the assumption that the world is a lawful place and that behaviors are not random.
Emilia is describing: - ANSphilosophical doubt
conceptually systematic
determinism- correct answer
empiricism
Zoe examined her assessment data. The data were undifferentiated, despite her confidence that
the function of behavior was to receive tangible (i.e., chocolate). Upon investigation, she
discovered her learner had free access to chocolate the hour before each of her assessment
periods. This unplanned for variable is known as: - ANSduplicate variable
extraneous variable- correct answer
concurring variable
independent variable
Morgan was concerned about his new learner - he would doodle during math assessments and
his grade was going down. He took baseline for 2 days, but there was no real pattern, so he
immediately started the intervention. What should have Morgan done differently? - ANSHe
should have waited until there was a steady state of responding before beginning the
intervention.
correct answer
He should have conducted an assessment for at least two weeks.
He should have asked the learner if they liked art better than math.
Nothing - when a behavior is serious to the analyst, it warrants immediate intervention.
Sally examined her intervention data. She wanted her learner to increase the number of words
read per minute. According the SCC, there was a x1.4 celeration. When her supervisor (not a
behavior analyst) asked how the learner was progressing, she responded: - ANSVery well! The
learner is demonstrating acceleration - which you can see by the ascending line on the chart.
correct answer
Very well! The learner is demonstrating deceleration, as evidenced by this descending line on
the chart.
I am not sure if she is enjoying the program.
