QBA Exam questions with correct
answers
Autism Spectrum Disorder - verified answers; Marked by:
-significant deficiencies in communication and social interaction
-rigidly fixated interests and repetitive behaviors.
Antecedent - verified answers; refers to environmental conditions or stimulus changes that exist or
occur prior to the behavior of interest.
Consequence - verified answers; -a stimulus change that follows a behavior of interest
-affects only future behavior
Stimulus Control - verified answers; When behaviors are emitted more often in the presence of certain
stimuli
Response - verified answers; refers to a specific instance of behavior
Extinction - verified answers; -the diminishing of a conditioned response
-occurs in classical conditioning when an unconditioned stimulus (US) does not follow a conditioned
stimulus (CS)
-occurs in operant conditioning when a response is no longer reinforced.
, Operant Behavior - verified answers; -any behavior whose future frequency is determined primarily
by its history of consequences.
-learned behavior
Replication - verified answers; Repeating experiments to determine the reliability and usefulness of
findings.
Empericism - verified answers; the objective observation of the phenomenon of interest.
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) - verified answers; The science in which tactics derived from the
principles of behavior are applied to improve socially significant behavior and experimentation is used
to identify the variables responsible for the improvement in behavior.
Topography - verified answers; -shape or form of the behavior
-what it looks like
Temporal Extent - verified answers; -refers to the fact that every instance of behavior occurs during
some amount of time
-durarion of behavior
Temporal Locus - verified answers; -refers to the fact that every instance of behavior occurs at a
certain point in time with respect to other events
-when behavior occurs can be measured
Rate/Frequency - verified answers; number of responses per unit of time
