She is possible experiencing an effect known as: - ANSWER reactivity Margo distributed several questionnaires to her new client's teachers, asking them about particular behaviors. What assessment method is she using? - ANSWER indirect assessment When considering a target behavior, Fernando is careful to select one that will expose the individual to new environments, including the reinforcers and punishers that go along with it. What is the best name for this? - ANSWER behavior cusp Sam was excited to show his supervisor an idea for a behavior plan. His target behavior was "lose weight". What response should the BCBA provide? - ANSWER Weight loss is a direct effect of other behaviors and not appropriate as a "target behavior" Anjali, a BCBA, was in an IEP meeting for a new student in the school. One of the attendees indicated that they conducted interviews with previous teachers and they all said the boy exhibited the target behavior when he wanted was attention. The attendee suggested the group move forward with goals related to attention seeking. How should Anjali respond? - ANSWER Suggest direct observation first Suggest baseline data collection Suggest a functional behavior assessment All of the above are appropriate. Michelle wants to create a visual display that will compare the same behavior of two or more participants. Her best option would be: - ANSWER line graph Dominique wants to create a visual display that will display discrete sets of data that are not related to one another. Her best option would be: - ANSWER bar graph Miguel wants to create a standardized visual display that will demonstrate frequency over time. His best option would be: - ANSWER standard celeration chart Emilia was working with a family that was having a difficult time understanding Applied Behavior Analysis.

Upon investigation, she discovered her learner had free access to chocolate the hour before each of her assessment periods. This unplanned for variable is known as: - ANSWER duplicate variable extraneous variable- correct answer concurring variable independent variable Morgan was concerned about his new learner - he would doodle during math assessments and his grade was going down. He took baseline for 2 days, but there was no real pattern, so he immediately started the intervention. What should have Morgan done differently? - ANSWER He should have waited until there was a steady state of responding before beginning the intervention. correct answer He should have conducted an assessment for at least two weeks.
