BCBA EXAM ACTUAL QUESTIONS WITH
VERIFIED SOLUTIONS
◉ Operant Contingency.
Answer: AKA: Behavioral Contingency, Contingency, 3-term
Contingency, ABC
The occasion for a response (SD), the response, & the outcome.
The dependency of a particular consequence on the occurrence of
the bx.
Reinforcer or punisher is "contingent" on a bx
◉ 3-term contingency
ABC.
Answer: What is the primary analysis in ABA?
◉ Contiguity.
Answer: When 2 stimuli occur close together in time, resulting in an
association of those 2 stimuli.
◉ 3 Principles of Bx.
Answer: PER
,Punishment
Extinction
Reinforcement
All strategies are derived from these 3 principles.
◉ applied.
Answer: ABA is a(n) _______ science.
◉ ABA.
Answer: A scientific approach for discovering environmental
variables that reliably influence socially significant bx & for
developing a technology of bx change that is practical & applicable
◉ Science.
Answer: To achieve a thorough understanding of the phenomena
under study (socially significant bxs)
◉ Response.
Answer: A single instance of bx.
,◉ Behavior.
Answer: Larger set/class or responses that share physical
dimensions or functions.
◉ Response Class.
Answer: A group of bxs that comprise an operant.
Operant: Response-consequence relationship. Similar bxs that are
strengthened or weakened collectively as a result of operant
conditioning.
◉ Yes.
Can widely vary in form but are limited in topographical variations..
Answer: Can responses in the same response class look different?
◉ Repertoire.
Answer: 1. All bxs that an individual can do.
2. A collection of knowledge & skills an individual has learned that
are relevant to a particular task.
◉ Environment.
Answer: Complex, dynamic universe of events that differs from
instance to instance.
, All bx occurs within an environmental context.
◉ Stimulus.
Answer: Physical events that affect the bx of an individual.
Internal or external to the individual.
An energy change that affects an organism through its receptor cells.
◉ Stimulus Class.
Answer: A group of antecedent stimuli that have a common effect on
an operant class.
Group members of a stimulus class tend to evoke or abate the same
bx or response class, yet may vary across physical dimensions.
◉ 3 Types of Stimulus Classes.
Answer: FTF (For The Fun)
Formal: Physical features
Temporal: time
