Question 1 of 20
1. Question
You want to measure your client’s homework completion. You count the number of math problems correctly solved on their completed worksheet. This is an example of:
Correct
Permanent product recording measures the tangible outcomes or results of behavior rather than observing the behavior directly. Completed worksheets, written assignments, or constructed items provide lasting evidence of behavior occurrence. This method is convenient when direct observation isn’t possible and when the product accurately represents the behavior of interest. It’s particularly useful for academic and vocational skills.

Question 2 of 20
2. Question
Your BCBA wants to know how many teaching trials it takes for your client to master a new skill. What should you measure?
Correct
Trials to criterion measures how many learning opportunities are needed to reach a predetermined mastery level. This measurement helps evaluate teaching efficiency, compare intervention methods, and predict learning rates for similar skills. It provides valuable information about the intensity of instruction needed and can guide decisions about teaching procedures and goal setting.

3. Question
Your client’s correct responses increased from 5 per minute to 10 per minute over two weeks. This change in rate over time is called:
Correct
Celeration refers to the change in rate of behavior over time, showing whether behavior is accelerating (increasing) or decelerating (decreasing). This measure helps evaluate intervention effectiveness by examining trends in behavioral frequency. Celeration data is particularly useful for tracking skill acquisition progress and making data-based decisions about program modifications.

Question 5 of 20
5. Question
Your BCBA calculates that your client’s problem behavior occurs 80% of the time when asked to do math but only 20% of the time during other activities. This analysis examines:
Correct
Conditional probability analysis examines the likelihood of behavior occurring under specific conditions compared to other conditions. This analysis helps identify antecedent conditions that reliably predict problem behavior occurrence, supporting functional assessment hypotheses. Understanding conditional relationships guides intervention development by highlighting which conditions need modification.

Question 6 of 20
6. Question
Your client learns that A=B and B=C, then demonstrates that A=C without direct teaching. This shows:
Correct
Derived relational responding involves demonstrating untrained relations based on trained relations. When individuals learn A=B and B=C, they may derive that A=C through transitivity. This advanced learning demonstrates conceptual understanding beyond simple stimulus–response associations and indicates the development of relational networks that support complex cognitive skills.

Question 8 of 20
8. Question
When your client throws toys, you have them pick up all toys in the room and organize them neatly. This procedure is:
Correct
Overcorrection is a positive punishment procedure involving effort beyond what is necessary to correct the effects of problem behavior. It includes restitution (fixing damage) and positive practice (repeatedly practicing appropriate behavior). This procedure aims to decrease problem behavior while teaching appropriate alternatives, though it requires careful implementation to avoid being overly aversive.

Question 9 of 20
9. Question
Your client watches videos of peers demonstrating social skills, then practices the same skills. This teaching method is:
Correct
Video modeling uses recorded demonstrations of target behaviors for instruction. This method allows for consistent presentation of examples, can include multiple models, and may be less threatening than live instruction for some learners. Video modeling is particularly effective for social skills, daily living skills, and vocational tasks, and can be combined with other teaching procedures.

Question 10 of 20
10. Question
You target motivation, responsivity to multiple cues, self-management, and self-initiation in your teaching. This approach is:
Correct
Pivotal Response Training (PRT) targets pivotal areas that affect multiple behaviors: motivation, responsivity to multiple cues, self-management, and self-initiation. By focusing on these key areas, improvements can lead to widespread positive changes across many behaviors. PRT uses naturalistic teaching strategies and child choice to increase motivation and engagement.

Question 11 of 20
11. Question
You teach your client to engage in conversations by first having them read scripted responses, then gradually removing parts of the script until they respond independently. This is:
Correct
Script fading systematically reduces written or verbal scripts that initially support appropriate responding. Scripts are gradually shortened or faded until independent responding occurs. This procedure is particularly useful for teaching conversation skills, social interactions, and appropriate responses to novel situations where natural contingencies may not provide sufficient support.

Question 12 of 20
12. Question
Your client loses 5 minutes of computer time when they engage in inappropriate language. This is an example of:
Correct
Response cost involves removing specific amounts of positive reinforcers contingent on problem behavior. Unlike time-out which removes access to reinforcement, response cost removes earned reinforcers or tokens. This procedure can be effective when implemented consistently and when the removed reinforcers are meaningful to the individual, but it should be combined with reinforcement for appropriate behavior.

Question 13 of 20
13. Question
Before asking your client to complete a difficult task, you have them complete several easy, preferred tasks first. This strategy:
Correct
Behavioral momentum involves presenting a series of high-probability requests (easy tasks the client usually complies with) before presenting low-probability requests (difficult or non-preferred tasks). This strategy increases the likelihood of compliance with difficult requests by building a pattern of compliance and positive interaction, making subsequent requests more likely to be followed.

Question 14 of 20
14. Question
When your client engages in attention-seeking behavior, you and all staff remove attention until the behavior stops. This is:
Correct
Planned ignoring is an extinction procedure used when attention maintains problem behavior. All forms of attention (verbal, visual, physical) are withheld when problem behavior occurs. This procedure requires consistency across all people and settings to be effective. It’s often combined with differential attention for appropriate behavior to teach better ways of accessing attention.
