Harriet is a behavior analyst working with Landon, a 30-year-old man with Moderate Intellectual Disability at a day program. His service coordinator at the regional center tells Landon that she wants to transfer him to a paid work program when he shows appropriate behaviors and exhibits verbal aggression fewer than 2 times per month.

Which attitude of science is Harriet's subjective statement violating? A. Parsimony B. Determinism C. Empiricism D. Experimentation - ANSWER-C Harriet's statement should not be subjective. Empiricism requires a person to conduct an OBJECTIVE observation of a target behavior. You are a behavior analyst working with Audrey, a 27-year-old woman with ASD. She smokes 18 cigarettes a day and often coughs. Her doctor that she needs to stop smoking for her breaks.

Determinism B. Law of parsimony C. Empiricism D.

A. Conceptually systematic B. Applied C. Technological D. Analytic - ANSWER-A Describing behavior program procedures in terms of the basic principles of behavior is adhering to which dimension of behavior analysis? A. Conceptually systematic B. Applied C. Technological D. Analytic - ANSWER-A When asked why a certain behavior analyst states that the behavior came out of nowhere.

Frequency B. Duration C. Inter-response time D. Latency - ANSWER-D Which measure would probably be the best measure for crying? A. Frequency B. Duration C. Percentage D. Latency - ANSWER-B If a behavior analyst states "It took four attempts, but Johnny completed the puzzle", she is using which measure? A. Whole interval B. Percent of occurrence C. Trials to criterion D. Frequency - ANSWER-A Jody had an access-maintained tantrum for 14 minutes and it started 3 seconds after she was told "No". It had been 2 days since the previous tantrum. The latency is _____. A. Unknown B. 2 days C. 14 minutes D. 3 seconds - ANSWER-A Manipulating a student's chair in a classroom setting to avoid distraction from the window is an example of manipulation of a ______. A. Context variable B. Antecedent variable C. Confounding variable D. Ecological variable - ANSWER-A The number of time intervals in a specific period of time during which a response occurs continuously for an entire interval is which measure? A. Partial-interval recording B. Whole-interval recording C. Momentary time sampling D. Percentage of occurrence - ANSWER-B In behavior analysis, the ______ is usually __________. A. Independent variable; a measure of behavior B. Dependent variable; a measure of behavior C. Baseline measure; unrelated to the behavior D. Independent variable; implemented before the baseline measure - ANSWER-B An experimenter examines the effects of three types of prompts on compliance in a person who is developmentally disabled. In this experiment, what is the IV? A. The location of the environment B. The three types of prompts C. The level of compliance D. The diagnosis of the individual - ANSWER-B A person is asked to make his bed. His caregiver checks 30 minutes later and the bed was made. No one else was present during that time.
