B1 Preference Assessments
A single stimulus preference assessment is also known as this.
What is successive choice
Single Stimulus Preference Assessments, also known as “successive choice” assessments, are conducted by providing a single item to a child, and recording his behavioral response to each item, as well as the duration of his engagement with each item.
Curriculum based, developmental, and social skills are all _________ assessment procedures?
What is individualized?
These are all different types of procedures utilized to evaluate a student's skill level, strengths, and deficits.
Curriculum based: The repeated, direct assessment of targeted skills in basic areas, such as reading, writing, spelling, and math. The assessments use material taken directly from the curriculum to measure student mastery.
Developmental assessments: an attempt to assess various aspects of the child's functioning, including areas such as cognition, communication, behavior, social interaction, motor and sensory abilities, and adaptive skills.
Social Skills: During a social communication and social skills assessment, we would assess how a child or young person interacts with others, deals with social situations and how they perceive social situations. Assessing these areas helps to understand where any challenging areas are for an individual.
This is the type of data typically collected during the FBA process
What is ABC data
ABC data, or Antecedent-Behavior-Consequence data, is a tool used to assess and understand a behavior by recording the events that occur before, during, and after a behavior
A free operant preference assessment is conducted in what type of environment?
What is a naturalistic environment
A free operant preference assessment is a method for evaluating a person's preferences by observing them when they have unrestricted access to a variety of items and activities:
Manding is an example of a ______ operant.
What is a verbal operant
Verbal operants are the building blocks of communication and are a key part of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy. They are functional units of language that describe how people use language to communicate
What are the 4 functions of behavior?
Attention, Escape, Tangible, Automatic
In Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy, the four main functions of behavior are:
Attention: The desire to get a response from others, which can be positive or negative
Access to tangibles: The desire to get an item or activity
Escape: The desire to get away from an aversive experience
Sensory stimulation: The desire to seek out sensory input
What type of preference assessment consists of having a person choose from several items (toys, snacks), and the chosen item is put back into the array for the next choice?
What is Multiple stimulus with replacement
An ABA term for requesting items is
What is manding
Manding is a verbal behavior used in ABA therapy to help people learn to ask for what they want or need. It's a fundamental communication skill that can help people with autism and other communication challenges express themselves and advocate for themselves.
This assessment helps to determine the function of a target behavior.
What is a functional behavior assessment
Functional Behavioral Assessment (FBA) is a process to identify the function of a student's behavior. The information collected during the FBA process should be used to create effective behavior intervention supports and plans.
What are the three ways client preferences can be gathered?
What is caregiver interviews, systematic assessments, and direct observation.
Caregiver interviews consist of conducting informal interviews with parents, other stakeholders, or even the client to identify what they like/items they prefer.
Systematic assessments refer to the various types of preference assessments behavior analysts conduct such as single stimulus, paired stimulus, and multiple stimulus with/without replacement.
Direct observation would consist of observing the student in their natural environment and seeing which items they frequently interact with and for how long.
The ABA term for labeling an item is...
What is a tact
It involves a form of verbal communication where an individual responds to a stimulus with a verbal label, typically based on what they observe or experience.
A student exhibits a behavior of screaming and flopping to the floor whenever he is prompted to complete work. When he engages in this behavior, staff typically ignore him and remove the work demand. What would your hypothesized function be for the behaviors of screaming/flopping to the floor?
What is escape
This assessment identifies what a learner is motivated to work for and to help identify potential reinforcers
What is a preference Assessment
A preference assessment is a procedure used in applied behavior analysis (ABA) therapy to determine a client's preferences and interests. This information helps ABA therapists identify the most effective reinforcers to motivate a client and increase the likelihood of a desired behavior.

What is individualized education plan
An IEP is an important legal and academic document that defines the child’s learning needs, which services the school will provide and how individual progress will be measured. The process of creating an IEP will help teachers and parents better understand the child’s strengths and weaknesses as well as what it will take for them to successfully complete school.
