ABA- Florida Institute Of
Technology- Course 1
Questions and Complete
Solutions Graded A+
Abolishing operation - Answer: A motivating operation that decreases the reinforcing effectiveness of a
stimulus, object, or event.
Domains of behavior analysis - Answer: The experimental analysis of behavior (EAB) Applied behavior
analysis (ABA) Behavior analysis service delivery Conceptual analysis of behavior
Radical behaviorism - Answer: The basic foundation for our conceptual analyses and permeates all the
branches
Experimental analysis of behavior - Answer: Basic research; provides the scientific method for studying
behavior by using cumulative records, manipulation of variables, and automated recording.
Applied behavior analysis - Answer: Applied research that applies the basic principals derived from EAB
to solve problems of social significance.
ABA practice - Answer: To help other persons to achieve their outcomes with the implementation of
procedures validated by ABA researchers to make a difference in people's lives.
Methodologies of EAB - Answer: Direct, repeated, measurement of behavior. Rate of response as the
basic datum. Visual inference (graphing). Within subject comparisons.
Seven dimensions of ABA - Answer: Applied, behavioral, analytic, technological, conceptually systematic,
effective, generality
,Applied - Answer: The implementation of basic principles to change behaviors of significance to clients.
Behavioral - Answer: Directly observed and measured.
Analytic - Answer: Seeks to identify functional relations between manipulated environmental events and
behavior through systematic and controlled manipulations.
Technological - Answer: Procedures are completely identified and precisely described and defined.
Verbal behavior - Answer: Operant behavior reinforced through the mediation of other persons
Conceptually systematic - Answer: Procedures are linked to, and described in terms of, the basic
principles of behavior.
Effective - Answer: An accurate discipline in which changes in procedure are data-based.
Generality - Answer: Behavior changes achieved should maintain, transfer to other settings and
situations, and spread to other behaviors.
Conceptual Analysis - Answer: Deals with philosophical and theoretical issues.
Behavioral technology - Answer: The set of assessment and behavior change procedures validated by
ABA researchers.
Environmental explanations - Answer: Past and current behavior is explained as a function of
environmental contingencies.
Explanatory fictions - Answer: Mentalistic explanations, teleological explanations
, Mentalistic explanations - Answer: These explain behavior by referring to hypothetical constucts from a
dimension that is inferred to be inside the organism.
Mentalisms - Answer: Summary labels of behavior (such as traits, states, attitudes, diagnostic categories)
and other hypothetical constructs are used to explain behavior.
Speaker - Answer: The individual emitting the verbal response.
Listener - Answer: The individual the speaker interacts with.
Audience - Answer: Composed of listeners who belong to a trained verbal community.
Elementary verbal operants - Answer: Tact, mand, duplic, codic, intraverbal
Tact - Answer: Under the antecedent control of a non-verbal stimulus
Mand - Answer: Under the antecedent control of an establishing operation.
Duplic - Answer: Under the antecedent control of verbal stimuli with point-to-point correspondence
with formal similarity to the response.
Types of duplic - Answer: Echoics (verbal imitation, repeating), copying a text, Mimetics (motor
imitation)
Echoic - Answer: The repeating of a vocal verbal unit.
Copying a text - Answer: Has point-to-point correspondence and formal similarity to the written verbal
stimulus.
Mimetic - Answer: The imitation of a physical movement that is also a non-vocal verbal unit.
