BDS MOCK REVIEW QUESTIONS WITH
CORRECT ANSWERS 2025-2026
alternating treatment design CORRECT ANSWER functional analysis
---if all features are up there automatic reinforcement
-does not need a baseline
-compare treatment or treatment conditions
-highest one is the most effective
-
AKAs simultaneous treatments, concurrent schedules, alternative schedule, multielement, multiple trea
tments, multielement baseline
assessment CORRECT ANSWER direct (observations) or indirect (surveys and checklist, interviews)
-functional analysis can be included
-guided by assessment tools (VB-MAPP, ABLLS-R, PEAK)
-behavior analyst conducts them
-record review (medical, past ABA, other services)
-define environment variable observationally and measurable
-individualized procedures
-organize, analyze, and interpret observed data
-make recommendations regarding behavior (established, maintained, increased, decreased)
-design and conduct preference assessment to identify reinforcers
BAB design CORRECT ANSWER start off with the intervention followed by the baseline
-reversal design
-not good for severe bxs
-stable responding is needed before moving on to the next phase
-preferred because you end on the treatment phase
-
when treatment is already in place, baseline levels are obvious because the behavior has been been pr
, eformed, limited time is available, when client or stakeholders want an intervention to begin immediat
ely
behavior extinction CORRECT ANSWER
remove reinforcement for a behavior, but the behavior can still be emitted.
-based off function
-paired with reinforcement
-reinforcing alternatives to the behavior
-extinction burst initially
-spontaneous recovery is later
behavior objectives/goals CORRECT ANSWER criterion
-concise, clear
-non-technical language
-objective
-observable and measurable
behavior skills training (BST) CORRECT ANSWER instruction, modeling, rehearsal,
feedback (I Must Remember Feedback)
changing criterion design CORRECT ANSWER experimental design with predetermined levels
-control is shown by reversing the criteria within the experiment
-increase or decrease behaviors
-needs to be a skill within their repertoire
-baseline is needed
-stable responding is needed before changing
-replication is shown by changing the criterion
competency-based training (CBT) CORRECT ANSWER precise description of the skill
