Behavior Assessments

100

• This component of the VB-MAPP assesses a child’s ability to repeat various speech sounds.

• What is the Early Echoic Skills Assessment (EESA)?

200

• This assessment provides a comprehensive review of skills from six different areas of development, including Basic Living Skills, Home Skills, Community Participation Skills, School Skills, Vocational Skills, and Independent Living Skills.

• What is the AFLS assessment?

300

• This graph displays a component of the VB-MAPP that will assist a clinician in developing specific interventions to aid in overcoming these obstacles.

• What is the VB-MAPP Barriers Assessment?

400

• This preference assessment may take more time to conduct but is considered more accurate due to the simultaneous presentation of 2 stimuli.

• What is paired Stimuli?

500

• This criterion-referenced assessment is designed to measure a child’s ability to 544 basic language and learning skills from four major areas of development that are typically acquired by developing children before they enter kindergarten.

• What is the ABLLS-R Assessment?

Graphs

100

• The use of visual inspection to interpret data for decision making regarding treatment programming is a significant benefit of the use of these graphic displays.

• What are graphs?

200

• This type of graph is more appropriately used to summarize data from discrete conditions.

• What is a bar graph?

300

• Pam is analyzing Bobby’s line graph for non-compliance. Pam is using this major characteristic of examining data to look for the overlap of data points between phases.

• What is level?

400

• This graph illustrates how far away each data point is from the imagined trend line. This major characteristic of data analysis typically has the experimenter looking to collect enough data to show the instinctive traits of a behavior.

• What is variability?

500

• In the graph above, the label “sessions” is used to describe this basic component of a line graph.

• What is the x axis or abscissa?

The Basics

100

• Kevin was taught to wash his hands at school. That behavior has persisted over time and now occurs at home and in public restrooms. In addition to hand washing, Kevin has also gained the skill to wipe his hands and mouth at the table and to blow his nose using a tissue. This analysis of behavioral changes is best described by this dimension of ABA.

• What is Generality?

200

• Before recommending a particular procedure to reduce SIB maintained by attention, Matt highlights this dimension of ABA by reading up on articles analyzing the procedure’s efficacy to ensure that the intervention is consistent with principles demonstrated in the literature and research.

• What is Conceptually Sound?

300

• Katie just completed a BIP report, and it was being revised by her supervisor. The supervisor gave Katie feedback with special emphasis for her to describe the procedures more clearly and concisely so that that others can implement the interventions accurately. The supervisor is highlighting this dimension of ABA.

• What is Technological?

400

• David just had a meeting with a client’s parents. A list of potentially concerning behaviors was shared with the David. David filtered out the behaviors that were not observable and/or measurable. David’s decision was grounded by this dimension of ABA.

• What is Behavioral?

500

• Sasha was taught to place a plate on her head. This behavior does not introduce or improve on a behavior in any practical matter. The behavior of putting a plate on your head fails to meet the criteria for this dimension of ABA.

• What is Effective?

Behavior Interventions

100

• Robin’s teacher observes her calling an answer out loud after a question was asked to the classroom. The teacher ignored Robin’s answer and chose another student to respond. The teacher asks another question and observes Robin raising her hand and waiting to be called. The teacher provides specific verbal praise for Robin raising her hand and gives her an opportunity to respond. The teacher is most likely using this particular procedure for differential reinforcement.

• What is DRA?

200

• Bruce’s aide was instructed to utilize this form of Differential Reinforcement where she provides Bruce with a token every 5 minutes contingent on the absence of property destruction at that specific moment.

• What is Momentary DRO?

300

• This procedure for differential reinforcement is contingent on the absence of a targeted problem behavior during or at specific intervals.

• What is DRO?

400

• Robin’s BCBA is utilizing this differential reinforcement procedure to reward her whenever she displays a behavior that cannot be done at the same time as one of her problem behaviors while denying access to reinforcement if the problem behavior occurs.

• What is DRI?

500

• Dan typically engages in using inappropriate language when presented with a task at his table. Dan’s aide follows a behavior intervention plan that utilizes this following form of differential reinforcement. The aide provides Dan with a skittle whenever he asks for break. The access to the skittle is withheld if he, instead, uses inappropriate language.

• What is DRI?

Agree to Disagree

100

• These are some of the main purposes for why Behavior Analysts collect IOA Data. Can you name at least 2?

• What is assessing the skill level of a new observer, detecting observer drift, indicating a suitable operational definition, or support in ensuring that changes in data are due to actual changes in behavior?

200

• To ensure that observer drift is minimized, this measurement can be utilized between 2 behavior techs recording data of the same event.

• What is IOA?

300

• Samantha and Lexy are both taking independent observer data for the percentage of intervals a student displays hand-flapping behavior using partial interval recording. The IOA measurement used to find percentage of agreement only uses intervals where an occurrence of the behavior was recorded by either observer or both.

• What is Scored Interval?

400

• Samantha and Lexy are both taking independent observer data for the percentage of intervals a student displays hand-flapping behavior using partial interval recording. The IOA measurement used to find percentage of agreement divided the number of intervals agreed by the total intervals and times that number by 100.

• What is Interval by Interval IOA?

500

• Total Count, Mean Count-per-interval, Trial by trial, and exact count-per-interval are different methods of this kind of measurement.

• What is IOA?
