(Q1) What are the three elements of informed consent? 

What is 

Information, capacity, and voluntariness 

100

(Q6) Define a conditioned motivating operation (CMO) 

What is 

A learned variable with value-altering and behavior-altering effects.

100

(Q17) Define extinction.

What is 

Discontinuation of reinforcement for a previously reinforced behavior, resulting in decreased responding.

100

(Q29) Provide an example of positive punishment.

What is 

Reprimands, RIRD, overcorrection, contingent exercise, response blocking.

100

(Q35) Define shaping.

What is 

Differential reinforcement of successive approximations toward a terminal behavior.

100

(Q42) What is the difference between a preference assessment and a reinforcer assessment?

What is 

A preference assessment identifies preferred stimuli. A reinforcer assessment determines whether those stimuli increase behavior.

200

(Q2) List three circumstances in which confidentiality may be broken 

What is....

Required by law
Court order
Imminent harm to self or others
Immediate crisis
Third party payment invovlement 

200

(Q7)  Name the three conditioned motivating operations.

What is 

  • CMO-S (Surrogate)
  • CMO-R (Reflexive)
  • CMO-T (Transitive)
200

(Q18) Name one unwanted effect of extinction.

What is:

  • Extinction burst
  • Spontaneous recovery
  • Extinction-induced response variability
  • Resurgence
  • Emotional/aggressive responding
  • Behavioral contrast
200

(Q30) Provide an example of negative punishment.

What is 

Time-out, response cost, planned ignoring, exclusionary time-out.

200

(Q35) : What are the two principles involved in shaping?

What is 

  • Reinforce the current approximation
  • Extinguish the previous approximation or incorrect responses
200

(Q43) What are the four common functions of behavior?

What is 

  • Attention
  • Escape
  • Tangibles
  • Automatic Reinforcement 
300

(Q3) Before observing a client in a general education classroom.

What is...

Written guardian consent to share information and observe the client in another setting

300

(Q8) What is another name for simple discrimination?

What is 

Discriminated operant or three-term contingency?

300

(Q19) What is the difference between extinction and forgetting?

What is: 

Forgetting occurs because behavior is not emitted over time. Extinction occurs because reinforcement is withheld while behavior continues to occur.

300

(Q31) Name two unwanted effects of punishment.

What is 

  • Emotional responding
  • Escape/avoidance
  • Behavioral contrast
  • Modeling
  • Overuse
  • Suppression of behavior
  • Response induction

    (Any 2)

(Q37) What is the difference between shaping and chaining?

DAILY DOUBLE! 


What is 

Shaping reinforces successive approximations and extinguishes prior approximations. Chaining links responses together so each response serves as reinforcement and an SD for the next response.

300

(Q44) What is the difference between a descriptive assessment and a functional analysis?

What is 

A descriptive assessment hypothesizes function based on observation. A functional analysis experimentally manipulates variables to identify a functional relation.

400

(Q4) Name three actions a behavior analyst should take when transitioning clients after accepting a new job.

What is:

  • Identify another provider
  • Notify families
  • Arrange transition of services
  • Provide referrals
400

Q10) What is another name for conditional discrimination?

What is 

Four-term contingency.

400

(Q120)  Why should reinforcement procedures be paired with extinction?


What is ...

To reinforce replacement behaviors and reduce negative side effects of extinction.

400

(Q33) List two factors that affect punishment effectiveness.

What is 

  • Immediacy
  • Intensity
  • Consistency
  • Reinforcement history
  • Reinforcement of alternatives

    (Any 2)
400

(Q38) Name the three group contingencies.

What is 

  • Independent
  • Dependent
  • Interdependent 
400

(Q46) Describe the four conditions of a traditional Iwata Functional Analysis.

What is 

Play: Control condition

Demand: Tests escape

Attention: Tests social positive reinforcement

Alone: Tests automatic reinforcement

500

(Q5) What should you do if asked to assess a severe feeding disorder outside your competency?

What is:

  • Seek supervision
  • Consult an expert
  • Refer to a qualified provider
500

(Q16) Compare and contrast the High-P Request Sequence and Premack Principle.

Similarities:

  • Both are antecedent interventions
  • Both use high-probability behaviors to increase low-probability behaviors

Differences:

  • High-P: High-probability responses occur before the low-probability demand
  • Premack: Low-probability behavior occurs first and earns access to the high-probability behavior 
500

(Q28) List four situations when extinction should not be used.

What is ...

  • Behavior is dangerous
  • Reinforcement cannot be fully withheld
  • Rapid reduction is required
  • Others may imitate the behavior

(Any 4) 

500

(Q34) What schedule of punishment should initially be used?

What is 

FR1 because punishment is most effective when applied consistently.

500

(Q40) Describe multiple exemplar training and how you would evaluate generalization.

What is 

Teach multiple examples of the same concept using different exemplars. Test generalization by presenting a novel exemplar and evaluating whether the response still occurs.

500

(Q47) Name two functional analysis variations.

  • Pairwise
  • IISCA
  • Extended Alone
  • Latency-Based
  • Precursor FA
  • Protective Equipment FA
  • Brief FA
  • Trial-Based FA
