CARD ABA Therapy Training- Questions
& Answers
Abolishing Operations (AO) Correct Ans-environmental stimulus, conditions, or events that
decrease the effectiveness of certain reinforcers
Shaping Correct Ans-Systematically reinforcing successive approximations of a target
behavior, while extingusing previous approximations (from making a noise for reinforcer -
pronouncing mmm for reinforcer)
Chaining Correct Ans-A procedure used to teach a behavior chain - used when two or more
behaviors are combined to preform a coplex skill
Behavior Chain Correct Ans-complex behavior comprised of many single responses that
occur in a specific sequence - completion of one behavior acts as the SD for the second (ex.
putting the zipper together to then zip it up)
Types of Chaining: Correct Ans-backwards, forwards, and total task
Backwards Chainging Correct Ans-complete the last step in the sequence and work back
Forwards chainging Correct Ans-complete the first step int eh sequence and work forward
, Total Task presentation Correct Ans-a procedure used to teach ALL of the steps of the
behavior chain during each presentation of the learning task
DTT prompts Correct Ans-Indirect, Full Physical, Partial Physical, model, Echoic, Directive,
Gestural, Proximity, Stimulus Manipulation, Textual
Indirect Prompt Correct Ans-guides the learner to the correct response (ex. *peer says thank
you* "what should you say?" response: youre welcome
Full Physical Prompt Correct Ans-guidance for the full time (ex. hold hand down the whole
time when ask for toy instead of reaching)
Partial Physical Prompt Correct Ans-guidance for part of the time (ex. put hands on clay and
they pull it apart)
Model Correct Ans-"demonstration" (ex. "do this" BT throws bag into bean bag hole)
Echoic Prompt Correct Ans-vocal demonstration (ex. say gummy "gummy" response:
"gummy"
Directive Prompt Correct Ans-verbal instruction to guide the learner (ex. how to make a
snack)
