Steven J. is a BCBA who works with clients who live in a group home. He also works
with clients in the sheltered workshop they attend during the day. Steven takes data
on vocational skills as well as any inappropriate behaviors occurring in the work
setting. He is responsible for the behavioral component of the annual Habilitation
Plan, and he updates annual assessments. Steven does not have an office in his home
so he has been given some file drawers in the special education teacher's classroom
at the sheltered workshop. He keeps all of his assessment results and raw data there.
The teacher locks her classroom door when she leaves for the day so that the file
drawers are safe. Does Steven's system of keeping records meet ethical guidelines?
,Give this one a try later!
yes, but only if Steven has the only key to the file drawers
A philosophical position that views behavioral events that cannot be publicly
observed as outside of the realm of science is called _____

Which of the following statements describes the definition of positive punishment?

A behavior analyst has implemented a behavior support plan that includes extinction,
DRA, and a mild punisher (firmly saying "no"). The behavior support plan is effective in
reducing the child's aggressive behavior. The behavior analyst is uncertain which
intervention(s) is producing the behavior reduction. What could the behavior analyst
do to determine which of the interventions is effecting the behavior?

conduct a component analysis
This is the extent to which a learner emits untrained responses that are functionally
equivalent to the trained target behavior

response generalization
, Explicit behavior definitions are important in research of applied behavior analysis for
the following:
Give this one a try later!
replication by other scientists, accurate and reliable measurement of
behavior, and comparison of data across studies
The following are said to be limitations of a multiple baseline design:
- It may not reveal a functional relationship; even if it is to exist
- Verification of predicted behavior change most be inferred from other behaviors
- The behavior under study must be within the subjects repertoire
- It is weaker than the reversal design
Which one is not?

the behavior under study must be within the subjects repertoire
Computer-assisted measurement of behavior allows the observer to do the following:

record multiple behaviors simultaneously, aggregate data easily, and
analyze data from different perspectives
Which of the following is not a requisite for obtaining valid IOA measures?
- Use the same observation code and measurement system
