ABA (APPLIED BEHAVIOR ANALYSIS)
EXAM
1. The three levels of scientific understanding in
behavior analysis are:
A) Description, prediction, control
B) Observation, measurement, analysis
C) Antecedent, behavior, consequence
D) Description, analysis, application
Answer: A) Description, prediction, control
Description involves systematic observation,
prediction identifies when behavior will occur, and
control demonstrates functional relationships.
2. Which of the following is NOT one of the seven
dimensions of Applied Behavior Analysis?
A) Applied
B) Behavioral
,C) Analytic
D) Subjective
Answer: D) Subjective
The seven dimensions are: Applied, Behavioral,
Analytic, Technological, Conceptually Systematic,
Effective, and Generality.
3. A behavior that occurs more often in the
presence of a particular stimulus due to history of
reinforcement demonstrates:
A) Stimulus control
B) Stimulus class
C) Stimulus generalization
D) Stimulus delta
Answer: A) Stimulus control
Stimulus control occurs when behavior is more
likely in the presence of a specific stimulus because
of past reinforcement history.
4. Respondent conditioning was discovered by:
A) B.F. Skinner
B) Ivan Pavlov
C) John Watson
D) Edward Thorndike
,Answer: B) Ivan Pavlov
Respondent (classical) conditioning involves pairing
a neutral stimulus with an unconditioned stimulus
to elicit a reflexive response.
5. In operant conditioning, behavior is primarily
maintained by:
A) Antecedents
B) Consequences
C) Reflexes
D) Unconditioned stimuli
Answer: B) Consequences
Operant conditioning involves voluntary responses
that are strengthened or weakened by their
consequences.
6. A group of behaviors that serve the same
function is called a:
A) Stimulus class
B) Response class
C) Behavior class
D) Functional class
, Answer: B) Response class
A response class consists of multiple behaviors that
produce the same effect on the environment.
7. The four-term contingency includes:
A) Antecedent, behavior, consequence,
reinforcement
B) Motivating operation, antecedent, behavior,
consequence
C) Discriminative stimulus, response, consequence,
punishment
D) Establishing operation, discriminative stimulus,
behavior, reinforcement
Answer: B) Motivating operation, antecedent,
behavior, consequence
The four-term contingency expands the three-term
contingency by including motivating operations
that influence the value of consequences.
8. A stimulus that signals reinforcement is available
for a particular response is a:
A) Stimulus delta
B) Discriminative stimulus (SD)
