BCABA BACB Exam Prep Questions
with Correct Answers 2026-2027
Frequency - CORRECT ANSWER -the number of times a behavior occurs
Rate - CORRECT ANSWER -(# of responses (AKA frequency) / # of time units)
Duration - CORRECT ANSWER -
the length of time that passes from onset to offset of a behavior or stimulus
Latency - CORRECT ANSWER -
elapsed time from the presentation of an antecedent stimulus and the response
Inter-response time (IRT) - CORRECT ANSWER -
measured by recording the duration of elapsed time from the offset of one response to the on
set of the next response
Percent of occurrence - CORRECT ANSWER -
(# of times it happens / # of opportunities for it to happen)
Trials to criterion - CORRECT ANSWER -
the number of responses the participant has emitted in order to meet the criterion or standar
d for success
Inter-observer agreement (IOA) - CORRECT ANSWER -
method for estimating the reliability of a behavioral observation system (review procedures fo
r):
-permanent product recording
-event/frequency recording
-duration/IRT recording
, -time sampling observational records
Equal interval graphs - CORRECT ANSWER -
y/x axis equally spaced as opposed to those in standard celeration charts
Cumulative graphs - CORRECT ANSWER -
display of rates of a behavior in the form of changes in the slope or curve of the response patt
erns generated as a function of conditions in effect
Continuous measurement procedures - CORRECT ANSWER -
measuring responses that lack a clearly discriminable beginning or end
Discontinuous measurement procedures - CORRECT ANSWER -
measuring responses that have a clear onset and offset
7 dimensions of ABA - CORRECT ANSWER -
applied, behavioral, analytic, technological, conceptual systems, generality, effective
Withdrawal/reversal design - CORRECT ANSWER -
an experimental design that involves the removal of the intervention in order to test it's effect
Alternating treatments (multi-element design) - CORRECT ANSWER -a with-
in subject or intensive experimental design consisting of alternating presentations of two or m
ore independent variable arrangements
Changing criterion designs - CORRECT ANSWER -
an ABA design involving successive changes in the criterion for delivering consequences, usuall
y in graduated steps from baseline levels to a desired terminal goal
