Question 1 of 20
1. Question
You observe your client every 30 seconds for 10-second periods and record whether the target behavior is occurring during those observation windows. This is:
Correct
This describes a variation of interval recording where brief observation windows occur at regular intervals. Unlike momentary time sampling (instant observation) or standard partial interval (observing entire intervals), this method uses fixed observation periods within longer intervals. This approach can be more practical when continuous observation isn’t feasible while providing systematic sampling.

Question 2 of 20
2. Question
Your supervisor asks you to measure not just whether your client’s tantrums occur, but also how intense they are on a scale from 1-5. You are measuring:
Correct
Dimensional analysis involves measuring multiple aspects of behavior beyond simple occurrence. Intensity, magnitude, force, or severity can be important dimensions depending on the behavior and intervention goals. Multi-dimensional measurement provides comprehensive information for treatment planning and progress monitoring, especially when behavior change involves qualitative as well as quantitative improvements.

Question 3 of 20
3. Question
You only record data on your client’s verbal requests when they are in the presence of adults, not when alone. This is:
Correct
Conditional recording involves collecting data only under specific circumstances or conditions. This approach is appropriate when the behavior is only relevant or possible under certain conditions, when resources limit continuous measurement, or when the research question focuses on specific contexts. Clear criteria for when to record ensure consistency and meaningful data.

Question 4 of 20
4. Question
Your BCBA surveys family members and teachers about whether they think the intervention goals are important and the procedures are acceptable. This assesses:
Correct
Social validity measures the social significance of intervention goals, the acceptability of procedures, and the importance of behavior changes from the perspective of significant others. High social validity increases compliance, supports generalization, and ensures interventions address meaningful outcomes. Social validity assessment helps align professional and consumer perspectives on treatment.

Question 5 of 20
5. Question
Your BCBA creates a grid showing times of day on one axis and days of the week on the other, marking when problem behaviors occur. This is:
Correct
Scatterplot analysis displays the temporal distribution of behavior across time periods and days to identify patterns. This visual analysis can reveal relationships between behavior and time-based variables like activities, staffing, or daily routines. Scatterplots help generate hypotheses about antecedent conditions and guide more detailed functional assessment procedures.

Question 6 of 20
6. Question
You teach your client to identify colors by initially providing very obvious prompts that prevent errors, then gradually fading these prompts. This approach emphasizes:
Correct
Errorless learning procedures use prompting and prompt fading to minimize or eliminate errors during acquisition. This approach can reduce frustration, increase motivation, and lead to faster acquisition for some learners. However, some research suggests that occasional errors may enhance discrimination learning and retention, so the optimal approach may depend on the learner and skill being taught.

Question 7 of 20
7. Question
You teach your client to greet people using different people, times, settings, and greeting responses. This strategy promotes:
Correct
Multiple exemplar training involves teaching skills across various examples to promote generalization from the beginning of instruction. By training with diverse stimuli, responses, people, and settings, learners are more likely to demonstrate skills in novel situations. This proactive approach to generalization is more effective than trying to promote generalization after training is complete.

Question 8 of 20
8. Question
Your client can choose between two activities, each associated with different reinforcement schedules. They consistently choose the activity with richer reinforcement. This demonstrates:
Correct
Concurrent schedules involve simultaneous access to multiple reinforcement schedules. Choice patterns reveal preference and sensitivity to reinforcement parameters like rate, magnitude, and quality. Understanding choice behavior helps optimize intervention by identifying effective reinforcers and designing choice-making opportunities that promote desired behaviors.

Question 9 of 20
9. Question
You and your client take turns teaching each other parts of new material, with both of you actively participating in instruction. This is:
Correct
Interteaching involves reciprocal teaching where both participants alternate between instructor and learner roles. This active learning approach increases engagement, promotes deeper understanding, and develops teaching skills in learners. Interteaching can be particularly effective for academic content and social skills where turn-taking and reciprocal interaction are important.

Question 10 of 20
10. Question
Your intervention focuses on building fluency through repeated practice and graphing rate of correct and incorrect responses on standard charts. This approach is:
Correct
Precision Teaching emphasizes fluency building through measurement of response rate (frequency per minute) and display on standard celeration charts. This approach focuses on building automatic, effortless performance through practice and aims for specific fluency targets. Precision Teaching can be combined with other ABA procedures and is particularly useful for basic academic skills.

Question 11 of 20
11. Question
You teach your client a subset of possible combinations (e.g., “big red,” “little blue”) and they demonstrate untrained combinations (e.g., “big blue,” “little red”). This demonstrates:
Correct
Recombina tive generalization occurs when learners demonstrate novel combinations of previously learned elements. Matrix training involves systematically teaching some combinations while testing for emergence of untrained combinations. This approach efficiently teaches larger repertoires by capitalizing on recombinative abilities and is particularly useful for language and academic skills.

Question 12 of 20
12. Question
Before asking your client to complete homework, you have them complete several easy requests they typically follow. This increases compliance through:
Correct
High-probability (high-p) request sequences build behavioral momentum by establishing a pattern of compliance with easy requests before presenting difficult requests. This procedure increases the probability that low-probability requests will be followed. The momentum of complying carries over to make subsequent requests more likely to be completed successfully.

Question 13 of 20
13. Question
Your client engages in hair-pulling. You teach them to clench their fists when they notice the urge to pull their hair. This is:
Correct
Competing response training is a component of habit reversal that involves teaching responses that are incompatible with the problem behavior. The competing response should be maintainable for extended periods, socially acceptable, and strengthening to muscles opposing those used in the problem behavior. This procedure is particularly effective for repetitive behaviors and habits.

Question 14 of 20
14. Question
You increase the availability of preferred activities and materials in your client’s environment to reduce problem behaviors. This is:
Correct
Environmental enrichment involves improving environmental conditions to reduce motivation for problem behavior by providing alternative sources of reinforcement. This proactive approach addresses setting events and establishing operations that contribute to problem behavior. Enrichment can include increasing preferred activities, social interaction, choice opportunities, or other reinforcing experiences.

Clear protocols should specify who records what information, how information is shared, and how to maintain continuity across staff. Consistent documentation supports treatment integrity and effective communication.
