ABA Final Assessment Study Guide with Complete
Solutions 2024/2025
Classification Categories - Correct Answer DA- Direct Access (tangibles, sensory)
SMA- Socially Mediated Access (Attention)
DE- Direct Escape
FACTS in Detail (in order) - Correct Answer 1- Find someone who knows student and ask for
strengths.
2-Routine Analysis to see when behaviors occur (12345)
3- Analyze routines to see which two create the most behavior issues.
4- Identify problem behaviors (checklist) and their frequency
5- Find antecedents and ask follow-up questions regarding antecedents.
6.Find out the consequences to antecedents with follow-up questions.
7. Find out setting events (MO's)
8. Create a summary statemetn of everything
9. Create a hypothisis by completing the competing behavior chart.
Behavior Calculation - Correct Answer Frequency/Time
Trigger Analysis Components - Correct Answer Non-Experimental
Identify possible triggers for behavior
Create situations to allow an analysis
Natural Environment
Not a Functional Analysis
Do not involve manipulation of consequences, but manipulation of anticedents
Mostly manipulation of antecedents and settings
Used for less frequent behaviors
Plan a Trigger Analysis - Correct Answer Identify the likely problem situation, motivating operations
that might be associated with the problem, and a potential discriminative stimulus associated with
the onset of a problem behavior
, Alone Condition - Correct Answer This condition tests for automatic reinforcement.
The client remains in a room without demands & with no social interaction. If the challenging bx
occurs, no consequence is given.
Escape or demand condition - Correct Answer A condition in a traditional FA in which participant
behavior is reinforced with escape from demands.
Attention Condition - Correct Answer A condition in a traditional functional analysis in which
participant behavior is reinforced with attention.
Control/Play Condition - Correct Answer Problem behavior is low in this UNSTRUCTURED condition
because reinforcement is freely available and no demands are placed on the person.
Structural Analysis Components - Correct Answer Non-Experimental
Manipulating Activity Purposely
Can be used within an FA to determine which antecedent will cause behavior
Can be used to design antecedent interventions
Use to further analyze a specific condition
Ex: When analyzing an escape condition, you could provide different types of tasks.
Structure Analysis advantage - Correct Answer Lack of necessity for manipulating consequences.
Most useful to further understand problem situations.
Can be done in natural setting
Indirect FBA - Correct Answer structured interviews, checklists, rating scales, and questionnaires
(simple)
Direct FBA Procedures - Correct Answer direct observations and skill assessments. These procedures
involve observing the client and recording what is seen.
functional analysis - Correct Answer an analysis of the purposes (functions) of problem behavior,
wherein antecedents and consequences representing those in the person's natural routines are
arranged within an experimental design so that their separate effects on problem behavior can be
observed and measured.
