QABA ABAT PRACTICE EXAMINATION
2026 QUESTIONS WITH ANSWERS
GUARANTEED TO PASS.
⩥ generality. Ans: A dimension of ABA, which explains that any
behavior change should persist across time, settings, behaviors, and
people that differ from the original intervention conditions.
⩥ validity. Ans: Measurement is trustworthy when the measurement that
produces data is applicable and specific to the target behavior of interest
and the relevant dimension of that behavior; in other words, you
measure what you set out to measure.
⩥ performance monitoring. Ans: A systematic and objective observation
method of staff performance used to ensure procedural fidelity and
effectiveness of training and to assess for areas of needed support.
⩥ overshadowing. Ans: The presence of a competing or distracting
stimulus that interferes with the acquisition of a skill/stimulus control of
another stimulus.
⩥ behavior chain. Ans: A specific sequence of discrete
responses/behaviors that, when linked together, form a terminal
, behavior. Each discrete response/behavior is associated with a particular
stimulus condition(SD), and each response and the associated SD serve
as an individual component of the chain.
⩥ negative punishment. Ans: A process that occurs when a response is
followed immediately by the removal of a stimulus (or a decrease in the
intensity of a stimulus) that results in a decrease in the future frequency
of similar responses under similar conditions.
⩥ rule governed behavior. Ans: A verbal description of a behavioral
contingency in which behavior comes under the control of consequences
that are too delayed to influence behavior directly.
⩥ behavioral contrast. Ans: A side effect of treatment that occurs in a
multiple schedule of reinforcement or punishment when a change in the
schedule of one part of the reinforcement or punishment contingency
changes the behavior in the opposite direction in the other component of
the schedule.
⩥ self administered consequences. Ans: A self-management procedure in
which one organizes specific consequences to be delivered following the
occurrence or nonoccurrence of one's own behavior to be delivered by
others or by oneself.
