QABA QBA Exam Study Guide 2022-2024 Qs&As
Autism Spectrum Disorder - Correct answer-Marked by:
-significant deficiencies in communication and social interaction
-rigidly fixated interests and repetitive behaviors.
Antecedent - Correct answer-refers to environmental conditions or stimulus changes that exist or occur
prior to the behavior of interest.
Consequence - Correct answer--a stimulus change that follows a behavior of interest
-affects only future behavior
Stimulus Control - Correct answer-When behaviors are emitted more often in the presence of certain
stimuli
Response - Correct answer-refers to a specific instance of behavior
Extinction - Correct answer--the diminishing of a conditioned response
, -occurs in classical conditioning when an unconditioned stimulus (US) does not follow a conditioned
stimulus (CS)
-occurs in operant conditioning when a response is no longer reinforced.
Operant Behavior - Correct answer--any behavior whose future frequency is determined primarily by its
history of consequences.
-learned behavior
Replication - Correct answer-Repeating experiments to determine the reliability and usefulness of
findings.
Empericism - Correct answer-the objective observation of the phenomenon of interest.
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) - Correct answer-The science in which tactics derived from the
principles of behavior are applied to improve socially significant behavior and experimentation is used to
identify the variables responsible for the improvement in behavior.
Topography - Correct answer--shape or form of the behavior
-what it looks like
Temporal Extent - Correct answer--refers to the fact that every instance of behavior occurs during some
amount of time
-durarion of behavior
Temporal Locus - Correct answer--refers to the fact that every instance of behavior occurs at a certain
point in time with respect to other events
