BCBA 5th edition task list CORRECT
100%
Description - ANSWERis a collection of facts about an observed event.
Prediction - ANSWERrepeated observations reveal that observing other events can
consistently result in accurately anticipating an outcome
Control - ANSWERa specific change in one event can be reliably produced by
scientific manipulation or variables.
Radical behaviorism - ANSWERis a branch of behaviorism that includes thoughts
and feelings in addition to the observable events
Generality/Generalization - ANSWERBehavior change that lasts over time, appears
in environment other than the environment which it was taught and spreads to other
behaviors not targeted by the intervention
Effective - ANSWERbehavior that changes in a practical manner that results in
clinical or social significance
Technological - ANSWERall procedures of an intervention, data and results of an
experiment or study are cleared outlined in detail so they can be understood,
replicated and implemented by anyone
Applied - ANSWERthe commitment of effecting improvements in people's behaviors
to enhance their quality of life.
Conceptually systematic - ANSWERall procedures used in practice should be related
to the basic behavioral principles of behavior analysis from which they were derived.
Analytic - ANSWERwhen the experimenter has demonstrated a reliable change and
functional relation between the manipulated events of a target behavior.
Behavior Negative reinforcement - ANSWERa response is followed by the removal
of a stimulus that results in an increase on behavior under similar circumstances.
Fixed Ratio (FR) - ANSWERa schedule of reinforcement where reinforcement is
provided after a fixed number of responses occur
al - ANSWERObservable and measurable behavior that must be the behavior in
need of improvement.
7 dimension of behavior - ANSWERGET A CAB
Behavior - ANSWERan organism interaction with the environment "Dead man's test"
, Response - ANSWERa specific instance of behavior
Stimulus - ANSWERevents in the environment that affect the behavior of an
individual
Stimulus class - ANSWERa group of stimuli that are similar along one or more
dimensions ( for example, they look or sounds similar, they have a common effect on
the behavior, or they at similar times relative to the response).
Respondent conditioning - ANSWERa learning process wherein a previously neutral
stimulus (which would not alter behavior) acquires the ability to elicit a response
(alter behavior).
Operant conditioning - ANSWERconsequences that results in an increase or
decrease the frequency in the same type of behavior under similar conditions
(remember operant behaviors are controlled by their consequences)
Positive reinforcement - ANSWERa response is followed by the presentation of a
stimulus that results in an increase in behavior under similar circumstances
Fixed Interval (FI) - ANSWERa schedule of reinforcement where reinforcement is
provided after a fixed amount of time elapses.
Variable Ratio (VR) - ANSWERa schedule of reinforcement where reinforcement is
provided variably after an average amount of responses are emitted.
Positive punishment - ANSWERthe presentation of a stimulus (punishment) follows a
response, which then results in a decrease in the future frequency of the behavior.
Negative punishment - ANSWERthe removal of a stimulus (punishment) follows
response, which then results in a decrease in the future frequency of the behavior.
Automatic contingencies - ANSWERbehaviors maintained by automatic
contingencies can be said to produce their own consequences, without another
person changing the environment in anyway in response to the behavior interest
Socially mediated contingencies - ANSWERcontingency delivered in whole or in part
by another person.
Unconditioned reinforcer - ANSWERreinforcement that works without prior learning
in ( In other words, living things came into the world with a need for these things
"built in' to their biology.
Conditioned reinforcer - ANSWERa reinforcer which becomes reinforcing only after a
learning history.
Generalized reinforcer - ANSWERa consequence that has been paired with access
to many different reinforcing consequences until it took on reinforcing properties
