What does ABA stand for? - ANSWER Applied Behavior Analysis
What is ABA? - ANSWER The scientific approach to understanding and shaping behavior.
What is Autism? - ANSWER A pervasive, developmental/spectrum disorder, and a label for a
constellation of symptoms.
What does ASD stand for? - ANSWER Autism Spectrum Disorder
What two core areas of development does ASD affect? - ANSWER Social Communication, social
interaction, restricted, repetitive patterns of behavior, interests, and activities.
What are the three levels of ASD recognized in the DSM-5? - ANSWER Requiring Support,
requiring substantial support, Requiring very substantial support.
How to be diagnosed according to the DSM-5? - ANSWER Symptoms must be present early in
the development
What are possible early signs of ASD according to the DSM-5? - ANSWER Lack of eye contact,
not responding to name, not pointing to objects to show interest, rigidity in routine, repetitive
interests, vocalizations, or body movements.
,Who can diagnose ASD? - ANSWER Licensed psychiatrist or developmental pediatrician .
Is there a main cause of ASD? - ANSWER No.
What are the ideas and myths surrounding the cause of ASD? - ANSWER Genetics, Biological
and neurological differences, emotionally distant "Refrigerator Mothers", Vaccines,
Gluten/Casein
What are established and effective treatments of ASD? - ANSWER Behavior intervention,
language training, parent and peer training, comprehensive behavioral training.
What is behavior? - ANSWER Behaviors are how organisms interact with their environment and
activities.
Is behavior observable or measureable? - ANSWER In ABA, behavior is observable and
measurable. We do not make assumptions and base our treatment off scientific data.
What is measured in behavior? - ANSWER Presence, not absence
What is the Dead Man's Test? - ANSWER If a dead man can do it, it is not behavior.
Frequency - ANSWER Tally/county/number if tunes behavior happens. (number of times a client
taps their pencil)
Rate - ANSWER Number of times a behavior happens in a set time interval. (Number of times a
client gets out of their seat within a 15-minute period of circle time)
,Duration - ANSWER The amount of time a behavior occurs for; Measure from time behavior
starts to the time behavior ends (example: start timer when client begins sitting for circle time,
and stop timer when they get up to leave circle time)
IRT - ANSWER Interresponse Time- Time measured between two instances of the same events.
(Example: time between meals - finishing breakfast, and starting lunch)
Permanent Product - ANSWER Measures the physical effect a target behavior has on the
environment around it. This data is collected after the fact. (Example: Math homework,
baked/cooked foods, empty sink after doing dishes)
Latency - ANSWER The amount of time between when SD is given, and initiation of response.
(Example: the time it takes for someone to respond after a peer says, "Hello").
Percent Correct/Independent - ANSWER Measures the number of correct learning responses
that a client engages in within a single skill. This type of data collection is often used when
measuring prompted responses. (Example: if a client correctly performs GMI "clap hands" 3
times of the 5 total trials you ran, that would be 3/5, or 60% correct/independent).
Partial Interval Recording - ANSWER Session is broken down into a small interval of time and
technician records if the behavior happens at all during that interval. Frequency of behavior
occurring through an interval is not counted; only if the behavior did or did not occur.
Whole Interval Recording - ANSWER Session is broken down into a small interval of time and
technician records if the behavior happened continuously throughout the entire interval. The
behavior will not count as happening if it does not happen throughout the entire interval; only if
it occurs continuously throughout the entire interval.
Momentary Time Sampling - ANSWER Session is broken down into a small interval of time and
technician records, at the end of the interval, if the behavior occurred in that moment. This type
, of data collection is most often used for behaviors occurring at a high frequency and/or for a
long duration.
Behaviorism - ANSWER Considers only what can be observed when explaining behaviors; does
not recognize "private events"
Mentalism - ANSWER Explains behavior through "private events" such as unobservable
thoughts, feelings, etc.
Radical Behaviorism - ANSWER Recognizes that private events do exist, but does not consider
them when explaining behavior, a middle ground between behaviorism and mentalism
What approach do behavior analysts take? - ANSWER Radical Behaviorism approach
Line graphs - ANSWER The most used graphs in ABA that show the relationship between the
target behavior (dependent variable) and the intervention (independent variable).
X-Axis - ANSWER Represents the passage of time
Y-axis - ANSWER Depicts the target behavior
Phase change lines - ANSWER These lines demonstrate any changes that may have taken place,
such as different interventions added or staff changes, so that the behavior analyst can more
clearly see if there was a change in the environment that could have caused a change in a target
behavior.
Condition labels - ANSWER They demonstrate what phases were in place when data was
collected
