CBCC-KA Test Questions With Verified
Solutions
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) CORRECT ANSWERS Science of behavior change
something you can measure/repeat/experiment
Antecedent CORRECT ANSWERS What happens before
Consequence CORRECT ANSWERS What follows
Functional Relations CORRECT ANSWERS Tendency of how one event varies in a
regular way with other events
Causative Relationships CORRECT ANSWERS You walk through door&dog follows—
dog acts to benefit dog, either to continue action or avoid.
Functional Behavior CORRECT ANSWERS Serve to allow animal to operate within
environment
Behavior CORRECT ANSWERS Observable action an animal can carry out
Overt CORRECT ANSWERS External ex. Lifting arm
Covert CORRECT ANSWERS Internal ex. Heartbeat
Overt Behavior CORRECT ANSWERS Observable by someone other than
performer(dog)
Covert Behavior CORRECT ANSWERS NOT observable by someone other than
performer(dog)
Respondent CORRECT ANSWERS Classical conditioning: behavior influenced by
events that precede it
Operant CORRECT ANSWERS Behavior influenced by events that follow it
Classical conditioning CORRECT ANSWERS Associating an involuntary response and
a stimulus
Operant Conditioning CORRECT ANSWERS Associating a voluntary behavior and a
consequence
Behavior Repertoire CORRECT ANSWERS All things a dog is capable of doing at any
moment
, Learning History CORRECT ANSWERS All environmental events that have affected
dogs behavior
Functional Analysis CORRECT ANSWERS Process of testing hypothesis about
functional relations among antecedents, target behavior and consequence.
Simple frequency graph CORRECT ANSWERS Each data point indicates the number
of times a behavior occurred at a particular time.
Cumulative frequency graph CORRECT ANSWERS Total number of times behavior
occurred.
Single case experimental decision CORRECT ANSWERS Research design where
individuals compared under experimental and control conditions.
Extinction burst CORRECT ANSWERS Less behavior briefly observed in graph when
dog stops behavior to "test" what will happen.
ABAB reversal decision CORRECT ANSWERS Single case decision where baseline
and intervention conditions are repeated with the same learner.
Multiple baseline design CORRECT ANSWERS Useful to visualize if a dog is behaving
differently depending on a single changed variable. (Location, handler)
Alternating treatments design CORRECT ANSWERS Single case experiment where 2
or more interventions alternate symmetrically. (One handler gives treatment-another
handler gives same treatment)
Law of effect CORRECT ANSWERS The probability of behavior occurring is a function
to the consequences that the behavior has had in that particular situation in the past.
Reinforcement CORRECT ANSWERS Providing consequences for behavior that
increases the frequency of that behavior.
Simple frequency graph CORRECT ANSWERS If there is an increase in a behavior at
each time interval, there is proof that this is reinforcing. Positive trend in graph.
Positive reinforcer CORRECT ANSWERS Any reinforcing event were something is
added following a behavior.
Negative reinforcer CORRECT ANSWERS Any reinforcing event where something is
removed following behavior.
Primary reinforcer CORRECT ANSWERS Not dependent on association with other
reinforcers. Ex. Mating, food, social.
