ABAT UPDATED FINAL EXAMS ALL QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS SURE A+
✔✔The four goals of DRDP - ✔✔1. Children are personally and socially competent
2. Children are effective learners
3. Children show physical and motor competence
4. Children are safe and healthy
✔✔What is Functional Performance Assessment (FBA)? - ✔✔- used as part Applied
Behavior Analysis (ABA)
- designed to help healthcare professionals uncover the function of behavior which then
guides the development and selection of appropriate treatment
✔✔What does a FBA do? - ✔✔- enables a hypothesis about relations between the
environment and the problem behavior
- gathers information about the function of the behavior
- identifies reinforcers that maintain the behavior and uses this information as a basis for
intervention efforts
- fosters proactive, positive autism interventions
✔✔What is Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA)? - ✔✔- ABA is the science in which the
principles of the analysis of behavior are applied systematically to improve socially
, significant behavior and experimentation is used to identify the variables responsible for
behavior change
- a way to teach, manage and reduce behaviors
- GOAL : to directly observe, measure, and analyze the relations between environment
and behavior
✔✔What are the 6 key components of ABA? - ✔✔1. ABA is guided by the attitudes and
methods of scientific inquiry
2. All procedures are described and implemented in a systematic, technological manner
3. Not all means of changing behavior qualify as ABA; only those derived from the basic
principles of behavior
4. Focus on socially significant behavior
5. Meaningful improvement in important behavior
6. Analyze the factors responsible for improvement
✔✔What is Pairing? - ✔✔- the first component to good teaching is that the individual
must associate you with good things happening
- pairing yourself of associating yourself with reinforcers is highly important
- pairing turns you into the reinforcers and provides increased compliance and
instructional control
- pairing is essential in developing a fun working relationship with clients
✔✔What does A-B-C mean? - ✔✔Antecedents
Behavior
Consequence
✔✔What are Antecedents? - ✔✔- proactive
- are events or environments that TRIGGER behavior
- this occurs BEFORE the behavior
- who what where when
✔✔What is Behavior? - ✔✔- is an action that is both observable and measurable
- described in a way an outside observe can easily identify the action
- it occurs as a result of the antecedent
✔✔What is the Consequence? - ✔✔- reactive
- is the response to the consumers behavior that will either strengthen or weakening the
future likelihood of the consumer engaging in the same behavior in the future
✔✔What is Motivating Operation? - ✔✔- motivating operations are environmental
variables that :
1. Alter the effectiveness of some stimulus, object, or event as a reinforcer
2. Alter the current frequency of all behavior that has been reinforced by the stimulus,
object or event
