CBCC-KA Questions with Correct Solutions
Question:
1. ABAB reversal design
Answer:
A single case design in which baseline and intervention conditions are repeated with the
same person
Question:
2. Alternating treatments design
Answer:
a single case design in which two or more interventions alternate systematically
Question:
3. Antecedents
Answer:
environmental events that occur before a behavior
Question:
4. Applied behavior analysis
Answer:
the attempt to solve behavior problems by providing antecedents and/or consequences that
change behavior
Question:
5. Aversion therapy
Answer:
a form of sensitization training in which a stimulus that arouses an inappropriate positive
response is paired with an aversive stimulus. Used especially in the treatment of drug abuse
and criminal sexual behavior such as pedophilia.
Question:
6. Backup reinforcer

Answer:
A period during which the target behavior is recorded, but no attempt is made to modify it.
Question:
9. Behavior
Answer:
Anything a person does that can be observed.
Question:
10. Behavior analysis
Answer:
The science of behavior change; the study of the functional relations between behavior and
environmental events.
Question:
11. Behavior chain
Answer:
A sequence of related behaviors, each of which provides the cue for the next, and the last of
which produces a reinforcer.
Question:
12. Behavior trapping
Answer:
The procedure of bringing a target behavior under the influence of its natural reinforcers by
exposing it to those reinforcers.
Question:
13. Behavioral assessment
Answer:
The attempt to (1) define the target behavior; (2) identify functional relations between the
target behavior and its antecedents and consequences; and (3) identify an effective
intervention for changing the target behavior.
