FBA Exam Questions and Answers
Graded A+
functional or experimental analysis/descriptive assessment/indirect assessment -
Correct answer-The three types of FMA methods:
functional analysis - Correct answer-This is the only FBA method that allows
practitioners to confirm hypotheses regarding functional relations.
Functional analysis - Correct answer-In a ___ ___, antecedents and consequences
representing those in a person's natural environment are arranged so that their
separate effects on problem behavior can be observed and measured.
Analog - Correct answer-This refers to the arrangement of variables rather than the
setting in which assessment occurs.
Analog - Correct answer-These conditions may be used to allow the for better
experimental control over the variables.
three test conditions- contingent attention/contingent escape/alone-control
condition - Correct answer-Functional analysis are typically comprised of these
four conditions:

, control condition - Correct answer-In the ___ ___, problem behavior is expected to
be low because reinforcement is freely available and no demands are placed on the
individual.
social positive reinforcement - Correct answer-Elevated problem behavior in the
contingent attention condition suggests that problem behavior is maintained by
_________.
negative reinforcement - Correct answer-Elevated problem behavior in the
contingent escape condition suggests that problem behavior is maintained by
_____.
Automatic reinforcement - Correct answer-Elevated problem behavior in the alone
condition suggests that problem behavior is maintained by _______.
Undifferentiated - Correct answer-This is when problem behavior occurs
frequently in all conditions, or is variable across conditions.
Variables - Correct answer-The primary advantage of functional analysis is its
ability to yield a clear demonstration of the ___ that influence the occurrence of a
problem behavior.
