Describe the three components of experimental reasoning used in single-subject
research designs.
Explain the difference between an escape contingency and an avoidance contingency.
State and describe each of the different attitudes of science.
Name at least 3 factors that can impact an individual's performance on a behavior chain.
Explain each factor and how it impacts performance.
If a FBA identifies the source of reinforcement to be eliminated for the problem
behavior, what was the strategic approach used?
Define and describe functional communication training. Be sure to discuss how it
operates, what is main purpose is, and considerations for effective implementation of
the technique. In addition, describe how this procedure varies from other antecedent
interventions discussed in the text.
List the essential components of all experiments in applied behavior analysis.
Detail the similarities and differences between positive practice and restitutional
overcorrection.
State one reason why it is important for applied behavior analysts to maintain direct and
continual contact with the behavior under investigation.
One method of priority ranking various potential target behaviors is to use a(n)
A) Ranking matrix
B) Standardized test
C) Interviewing significant others
D) Behavioral assessment
What is the main advantage of using the momentary time sampling procedure over
other recording procedures?
Baer, Wolf, and Risley (1987) argue that applied behavior analysis must shift its
emphasis away from simply demonstrating behavior change. What is the more
important focus in their opinion?
When prioritizing behaviors for change a chronic behavior _____________ when
compared to a more recently acquired behavior.
A) Is easier to change
B) Takes precedence
C) Is less important
D) Requires less intervention
Compare and contrast positive and negative reinforcement.
How often should IOA be obtained?
How does the concept of habilitation help the behavior analyst determine which
behavior should be targeted for behavior change?
What does the functional analysis method allow practitioners to do?
Why is it important to identify the conditions that account for a behavior rather than just
the topography?
