100
A consequence that results in a future increase of the behavior.
What is reinforcement?
100
This is what occurs just prior to the target behavior.
What is an antecedent?
100

What is SD?

100

What is maintaining confidentiality
100

This form must be completed and parent notified within 24 hours when staff has used a CPI hold with a student.

What is a Critical Incident Report?

200
A consequence that results in a future decrease of the behavior.
What is punishment?
200
In behavioral terms, this is what immediately follows the target behavior and influences future occurrences/non-occurrences of the behavior.
What is a consequence?
200
The areas of focus are on motivation, response to multiple cues, self management, and social initiation.
What are the pivotal areas of Pivotal Response Treatment PRT?
200
Behavior analysts must retain records and data for at least this long and as otherwise required by law.
What is 7 years?
200
Prior to developing a Behavior Intervention Plan, the team must conduct this type of assessment.
What is a Functional Behavior Plan?
300
Something added to the environment directly following a behavior which results in an increase of the behavior in the future.
What is positive reinforcement?
300
These are issues that may occur far in advance, are frequently out of our control (e.g. weather, a family argument, lack of medication for student), and that contribute to a higher likelihood of the problem behavior occurring.
What are setting events?
300
These are the 3 benefits of Pivotal Response Treatment (PRT).
What is the generalization of skills? What is increased compliance? What is easy to implement in different settings? What is spontaneity?

Terry is a BCBA working with a child, Brianna, in a classroom. Brianna is very disruptive but responds well to attention and positive reinforcement. Terry tries to get everyone involved in helping Brianna; she sets up a program for her to receive a sticker every hour that she is not disruptive. At the end of every good day she has the teacher reward Brianna in front of the class and encourages the other children to applaud her. Brianna's behaviour is improving quickly, but other children in the class are starting to complain that the teacher has favourites and that the system isn't fair. Terry tells the teacher that they will eventually fade the program. Since progress was occurring so quickly, should Terry continue the program?

She must modify the program immediately. As a BA, her responsibility is to everyone that is affected by the behavioural services. The original program has been damaging the relationship between the teacher and the other children.

The acronym FERB stands for:
What is Functionally Equivalent Replacement Behavior?
400
Something added to the environment directly following a behavior which results in a decrease of the behavior in the future.
What is positive punishment?
400
This clearly defines the target behavior in objective, measurable terms so that all team members can easily identify and track occurrences of the behavior.
What is operational definition?
400
Discriminative stimulus, response, reinforcing stimulus
What's the ABC's of Discrete Trial Training
400
Behavior analysts minimize the use of these items that may be destructive to the health and development of the client, or that may require excessive motivating operations to be effective.
What is Avoiding Harmful Reinforcers?
400
The three types of goals included on a Behavior Plan include a FERB, increase in general positive behavior, and this.
What is a goal for decreasing problem behavior?
500
Something removed from the environment directly following a behavior which results in an increase of the behavior in the future.
What is negative reinforcement?
500
In regard to functions of behavior, the acronym SEAT refers to:
What is Sensory (self-stimulatory/automatic), Escape, Attention, & Tangible?
500
(In this order) Independent, Gestural, Visual, Verbal, Model, Partial physical, and Full physical
What is least intrusive to most intrusive prompt level?
500
Two behavior analysts provide practicum supervision within a BCBA course sequence. Together they posted disparaging comments about the quality of the program and faculty on a popular social media site in response to a post having to do with congratulating a graduate of the program. They never used the department by name, but the institute of higher learning and program was identifiable from the post. The posts were discovered by a BCBA faculty member of the program.
What is the violation of Ethics Code 8.0 and/or Public Statements?
500

This type of FBA is based on existing behavioral data and records. 

What is an Indirect FBA?
