CBMT Exam Q&A
data-based model - =An approach based on information retrieved through experimentation or
direct observation
reversal design (ABAB design) - =A single subject, applied behavior analysis design which
generally involves observing behavior during baseline, treatment, a return to baseline, and
treatment reapplied.
Psychodynamic treatment model - =By Freud; unconscious material is root of problems, focuses
on analysis of thought; free association and Rorschach test
Biomedical treatment model - =biological factors are the underlying cause of disorders
successive approximations - =Behaviors which gradually resemble the target behavior or
terminal objective
schedule of reinforcement - =The behavioral requirements for a reinforcing stimulus to be
delivered. Schedules may be fixed or variable based on interval or ratio criteria
Fading - =The gradual removal of all explicit prompts or cues in an attempt to maintain the
behavior on its own
Holistic theory - =Evaluation of emotional, physical, spiritual, psychological, and social
dimensions because all make up the whole person
Behavioral treatment model - =By Skinner. All behaviors are learned, so all behaviors can be
unlearned or replaced by new behaviors. Task analysis and reinforcement schedule
reinforcement schedule - =fixed ratio, variable ratio, fixed interval, variable interval
,classical conditioning - =Pavlovian technique pairing neutral stimulus with a meaningful
stimulus
randomized group design - =Experimental design that randomly assigns subjects to treatment
or control conditions to compare performance
occipital lobe - =Region of the cerebral cortex that processes vision and perception
monoplegia - =paralysis of one limb
paraplegia - =paralysis of both legs and the lower part of the body
quadriplegia - =paralysis of all four limbs
hallucination - =Perception of sensory input, often sounds or tactile sensations, which are not
occurring in reality
Frequency recording - =Records number of times a target behavior occurs
Duration Recording - =Recording technique that measures how long a particular behavior lasts
during a given period
Individualized Education Program (IEP) - =Individualized plan for children with disabilities who
qualify for special education services; functions as blueprint for determining best possible
educational program for each child
Primary aging - =Systematic, genetically determined decline in efficiency of body's organ
systems
, accountability - =Process by which one is responsible and answerable for obligation to a set of
constituenies
parallel play - =Characterizes a stage of development in which very young children will play
beside each other but not engage in social interaction
discrimination - =Ability to tell difference between stimuli
DAP - =Sandardized form of note taking. Data, assessment, plan
SOAP - =Standardized form of note taking. Subjective, objective, assessment, plan
MMPI - =The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory. Assesses personality traits and
psychopathology. Primarily used for diagnosis
Countertransference - =The therapist projection of own feelings, ideas, and desires about other
people and/or things onto the client
Down Syndrome - =Congenital abnormality of trisomy 21 gene (extra chromosome) resulting in
developmental disability and physical abnormalities
Hyperactivity - =Increased and/or excessive muscular activity
positive reinforcement - =the presentation of a stimulus resulting in an increase in the behavior
it follows
Hyperacusis - =Extreme sensitivity to sounds. Associated with a responsiveness to music and an
ability to make fine auditory discriminations
