Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA)
A science that uses the principles of learning or behavior to change socially important
behaviors
Defined
A behavior is considered as (blank) when it can be separated, measured, and
objectively observed
Scientific
,ABA uses the (blank) method or on going experimentation to determine the reasons
people engage in behaviors
Graphs
To visually analyze data, behavior analysts create
Environment;conditions
ABA is implementing carefully planned and constructive changes to the (blank) and
(blank) that allow behavior change to occur
A science that uses the principles of learning or behavior to change socially
important bahaviors
The "true" definition of Applied Behavior Analysts is (blank)
True
The goal of ABA is to change behaviors that are socially important to the individual and
will benefit them in multiple ways
True
Learning are experiences that change our behavior
Social cognition
According to scientists, our behavior is a result of all of these EXCEPT
True
ABA takes the findings of B.F. Skinner's experiments and applies those theories of
learning (operant conditioning) to human beings
Get something or get out of something
According to behavior analysts, people behave to...
Behavior Analysts measure behavior
- To answer their questions
- Evaluate the effects of the intervention
- Guide decisions and prevent mistakes
Duration
(blank) measurement refers to the amount of time that someone engaged in a behavior
True
Rate is the same as frequency, but within a specified time limit
- Where they started (baseline)
- Where they are now (current)
- Where they are going (trend)
Graphs are visual tools we use to assess target behaviors
Frequency
(blank) refers to the number of times that a target behavior was observed and counted
True
There are several reasons behavior technicians must have take data during the delivery
of behavior analytic services, and one of them is because it makes them accountable
and indicates how productive they were in their sessions
False
Percentage measurement refers to the mount of time that someone engaged in a
behavior
Reliable
Measurement is ____________ when it yields the same values across repeated
measures of the same event.
, Partial Interval Recording
A time sampling method for measuring behavior in which the observation period is
divided into a series of brief time intervals (typically from 5 to 10 seconds).
Guesswork & Opinion
Without measurement science is (blank & blank) Cooper, Heron and Heward
True
Graphs make it much easier to interpret and understand the data because they present
the information in a visual format
- To answer their questions
- Evaluate the effects of the intervention
- Guide decisions and prevent mistakes
Behavior analysts measure behavior to
Rate
Mark hit sam 5 times in 2 minutes; Example of
True
ABA is an objective discipline and focuses on accurate and reliable measurement and
objective evaluation of observable behavior
False
Duration refers to the amount of time after a specific stimulus has been given before the
target behavior occurs
Valid
Measurement is (blank) when the observed values of an event match the true values of
an event
Baseline
Refers to the pre-treatment phases prior to implementation of an intervention
True
Those who provide behavior-analytic services to ABA to clients must collect, keep, and
store data according to confidentiality laws, and provide graphs to meet ethical
standards
Continuous Measurement
Measurement conducted in a manner such that all instances of the response class(es)
of interest are detected during the observation period (Cooper, Heron, & Heward)
True
Discovering the client's most powerful reinforcers will give the RBT the tools they need
to assist in behavior change for the client
Reinforcer
(Blank) Assessment determines what stimuli will actually increase or maintain a
behavior when presented as a consequence over time
True
Probing is a skills test given to the client
True
Just because someone chooses something does NOT mean it is also a reinforcer
True
The RBT can assist in skill assessment when assigned by the supervisor, by completing
surveys about the client's skills and behaviors, proving a list of target skills, and
conducting patent interviews about the clients skills
