BCBA EXAM SCRIPT VERIFIED QUESTIONS
WITH ACCURATE ANSWERS
●● stimulus
Answer: energy change that affects an organism
●● response class
Answer: group of responses with the same function & that produce the
same effect on the environment
●● response
Answer: specific instance of behavior
●● behavior
Answer: activity of living organisms
●● applied behavior analysis
Answer: science in which tactics derived from the principles of behavior
are applied systematically to improve socially significant behavior and
experimentation is used to identify the variables responsible for behavior
change
●● empowering
,Answer: a dimension of ABA that say tools that work to instill
confidence
●● doable
Answer: dimension of ABA that says interventions should be pragmatic
●● accountable
Answer: dimension of ABA; behavior should be directly & frequently
measured
●● generality
Answer: dimension of ABA; changes should last over time
●● effective
Answer: dimension of ABA; noticeable and reliable changes in target
behavior
●● conceptually systematic
Answer: dimension of ABA; procedures & effectiveness should be
described in terms of behavioral principles
●● analytic
,Answer: dimension of ABA; a functional relation between manipulated
events and a reliable change in a dimension of target behavior should be
demonstrated
●● technological
Answer: dimension of ABA; operative procedures are identified &
described with detail and clarity
●● behavioral
Answer: dimension of ABA; behavior should be in need of
improvement, measurable, & target the client's behavior
●● applied
Answer: dimension of ABA; improvements in behaviors that enhance
and improve people's lives
●● operant behaviors
Answer: behaviors not elicited by preceding stimuli but influenced by
stimulus changes that have followed behavior in the past (e.g. not
reflexive)
●● respondent behavior
Answer: reflexive behavior; elicited by an antecedent
, ●● behaviorism
Answer: philosophy of science of behavior, experimental analysis of
behavior, & applied behavior analysis
●● functional relation
Answer: well-controlled experiment that reveals a specific change in one
event (DV) is reliably created by specific manipulations of another event
(IV) and that is unlikely to be a result of confounding variables
●● antecedent
Answer: environmental conditions or stimulus changes that exist or
occur prior to behavior of iterest
●● consequence
Answer: a stimulus change that follows the target behavior
●● conditioned stimulus
Answer: the stimulus component of a conditioned reflex
●● conditioned reflex
Answer: learned stimulus-response functional relation consisting of an
antecedent stimulus and the response it elicits
