QASP-S EXAM STUDY GUIDE 2025 |
QUESTIONS & CORRECT ANSWERS
1. Three part contingency Correct Answer>>discriminative stimulus, operant
response, and reinforcer or punishment
2. Two main types of behavior Correct Answer>>operant and respondent
3. Skill deficit Correct Answer>>the absence or insufficiency of a needed
behavior or skill
4. Performance deficit Correct Answer>>when a student knows how to
perform the desired behavior but chooses not to or is incapable of doing so
owing to anger, frustration, or some other condition
5. Incidental teaching Correct Answer>>structuring and sequencing learning
opportunities so that they occur within a natural setting and which is used to
give the learner an opportunity to practice a skill
6. Naturalistic teaching strategies Correct Answer>>instructional techniques
that are used with children having neuro developmental disorders and that
move away from traditional desk instruction toward more natural social
interactions
7. Task analysis Correct Answer>>the process of breaking a complex skill or
series of behaviors into smaller, teachable units; also refers to the results of
this process.
1
,8. Discrimination training Correct Answer>>requires one response and two
antecedent stimulus conditions. The response in the presence of one stimulus
is reinforced while a response in the presence of the other is not. We are
teaching them to make choices.
9. Stimulus control Correct Answer>>a situation in which the frequency,
latency, duration, or amplitude of a behavior is altered by the presence or
absence of an antecedent stimulus.
10.Stimulus control transfer Correct Answer>>a procedure used to teach
independence by transferring stimulus from a prompt to something natural in
the environment
11.Stimulus fading Correct Answer>>highlighting a physical dimension of a
stimulus to increase the likelihood of a correct response then the highlighted
or exaggerated dimension is eventually faded out (ex: using traffic safety
cones to mark a boundary to stay within and removing them slowly after the
learner knows the boundaries)
12.Sources of sensory information Correct Answer>>exteroception (external)
and proprioception (internal)
13.Sensory challenges of people with autism Correct Answer>>language
delays or deficits
Fine and gross motor delays
Strong sensory interests
Sensory aversions
2
, An inability to interact with people and objects
An inability to stay within an interaction
Repetitive sensory stereotype (stemming)
And much more
14.Events that increase anxiety for people with autism and how to manage them
Correct Answer>>unstructured time, waiting, academic pressure, large
crowds, sensory issues (overstimulation and/or seeking input)
Sensory input, fidgets to improve self-regulation,
Sensory integration therapy
Visual schedules
Routines
15.Biomedical approaches Correct Answer>>diets and supplements - such as
the gluten-free, casein-free diet, omega-3 fatty acids, and probiotics
Alternative medical procedures - such as chelation, hyperbaric therapy, and
stem cell therapy
Medications - such as antipsychotics, immune globulins, and oxytocin
16.Appropriate indicators to use to signify transitioning Correct
Answer>>visual schedules, timers, cues, first/then (premac)
17.Visual supports for asd Correct Answer>>visuals supports can be pictures,
objects, sign language or text.
18.Episodic severity Correct Answer>>the measure of intensity or gravity of a
behavioral incident
