QBA EXAM UPDATED QUESTIONS AND
CORRECT ANSWERS.
Autism Spectrum Disorder - ANS Marked by:
-significant deficiencies in communication and social interaction
-rigidly fixated interests and repetitive behaviors.
Antecedent - ANS refers to environmental conditions or stimulus changes that exist or occur
prior to the behavior of interest.
Consequence - ANS -a stimulus change that follows a behavior of interest
-affects only future behavior
Stimulus Control - ANS When behaviors are emitted more often in the presence of certain
stimuli
Response - ANS refers to a specific instance of behavior
Extinction - ANS -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 - ANS -any behavior whose future frequency is determined primarily by its
history of consequences.
-learned behavior
Replication - ANS Repeating experiments to determine the reliability and usefulness of
findings.
Empericism - ANS the objective observation of the phenomenon of interest.
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) - ANS 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 - ANS -shape or form of the behavior
-what it looks like
Temporal Extent - ANS -refers to the fact that every instance of behavior occurs during some
amount of time
-durarion of behavior
