100
This is referred to as an FBA.
What is the abbreviation of functional behaviour assessment?
100
This term refers to behaviour that is selected, maintained and brought under stimulus control as a function of its consequences.
What is operant behaviour?
100

It is an assessment/curriculum guide based on Skinner's Verbal Behavior, developed by Sundberg (2008). 

What is the VB-MAPP? 

(Verbal Behavior Milestones Assessment & Placement Program)

100
These are a variety of procedures to determine stimuli that are presumed to act as reinforcers for an individual.
What are stimulus preference assessments?
100
This is the overall direction taken by a data path.
What is a trend?
200
This is sometimes abbreviated as CRF.
What is the abbreviation for a continuous schedule of reinforcement?
200
This involves withholding reinforcement of a previously reinforced behaviour.
What does an extinction procedure involve?
200

It is the definition of a mand.

What is a verbal operant for which the form of response is under the functional control of motivating operations and specific reinforcement?

200

This is the extent to which an independent variable is applied exactly as planned and described.

What is procedural fidelity?

200
Examples include: Walking, talking, jumping, blinking, reading, cooking, driving, sweating, exercising.
What is behaviour?
300
The abbreviation of this is SD.
What is the abbreviation of a discriminative stimulus?
300
When behaviour is evoked by stimuli that share similar physical properties with a controlling antecedent stimulus.
What is stimulus generalisation?
300
This is a verbal operant that is controlled by a verbal discriminative stimulus and does not have point-to-point correspondence with that stimulus.
What is an intraverbal?
300

This is an experimental condition in which 2+ conditions are presented in quick alternating succession, independent of the level of responding.

What is an alternating treatments design?

300
Behaviour that is elicited or induced by antecedent stimuli.
What is respondent behaviour?
400
This concept is abbreviated as SP.
What abbreviation is sometimes used to signal a discriminative stimulus for punishment?
400
This term refers to reinforcing only those responses within a response class that meet a specific criterion along some dimensions and placing all other responses in the class on extinction.
What is differential reinforcement?
400

It is the verbal operant underlined in this example: 'Sue and her friend walk into a shop. Sue says 'Wow, those cakes smell amazing!' Her friend repeats 'Wow those cakes do smell amazing!'

What is a tact?

400
These are three examples of variations to Iwata et al.'s (1982) traditional experimental functional analysis.
What are (e.g.: extended functional analysis; brief functional analysis; latency functional analysis; precursor functional analysis; trial-based functional analysis; extended alone)?
400
This is an alteration in the reinforcing effectiveness of a stimulus, object or event as a result of a motivating operation.
What is a value-altering effect (of a motivating operation)?
500
This term is abbreviated as CMO-T.
What is the abbreviation of a transitive conditioned motivation operation?
500
This is the process of reinforcing a response in the presence of a discriminative stimulus, but not reinforcing this response in the absence of this stimulus.
What is discrimination training?
500

It is the umbrella term for a verbal operant in which the antecedent stimulus and response exhibit point-to-point correspondence and formal similarity.

What is a duplic? 

500

These are three of the six main attitudes of science.

What are (three of): determinism, empiricism, experimentation, replication, parsimony, and philosophic doubt?

500
Procedures for changing behaviour and interpretations of how/why those procedures were effective should be described in terms of the relevant principles from which they were derived.
What is conceptually systematic? (a defining characteristic of applied behaviour analysis)
